'''Tiny''' is a status ailment in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] and the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]].
==History==
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', [[Bzzap!|Bzzaps!]] and [[Hammer Bro|Hammer Bros.]] have the ability to '''shrink''' [[Mario]]. When he is shrunken, his Attack Power drops by half. It is indicated by a pink, white, and green circle above Mario. Mario can also shrink enemies using the [[Shrink Stomp]] Badge and its associated move. Even though enemies are shrunken for between 2 and 4 turns by Shrink Stomp, it ends just before the enemy attacks on the last turn (when a "1" is displayed on the turn marker), so it actually lasts for 1 turn fewer than what the turn marker indicates.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
The Tiny status effect returns in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. In this game, it reduces the target's Attack Power by two points. It is indicated by a very small face. Once again, Mario can use Shrink Stomp to shrink a foe. [[Yoshi Kid|Yoshi]] can inflict this status on enemies with his [[Mini-Egg]] move. The [[Mini Mr. Mini]] item can also make enemies Tiny, or Mario and his partners when it is used by enemies. [[X-Naut PhD]]s are able to inflict Tiny on Mario and his partners by throwing chemicals, as are [[Beldam]] using her magic and [[Bonetail]] through his breath attack. Hammer Bros. no longer inflict this status with their attacks.

While Tiny, a character's voice and sound effects are raised in pitch. A counterpart status, [[Huge]], was also introduced in this game, which raises the target's Attack Power by two points.

====''Super Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Mario and co. can use the [[Pixl]] [[Dottie]] to shrink themselves down to a microscopic size; however, in this game, it does not affect the strength of their attacks. While tiny, the heroes can fit through small passages, enter tiny [[Warp Pipe]]s and doors, and remain undetected by enemies.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
The effect once again returns in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', though only during the battle against [[Kamek]]. Similar to the first two games, when Mario is Tiny, his attack power is decreased.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
This status effect reappears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', but referred to as '''Mini''', replacing the [[poison (status effect)|poison]] status effect from previous ''Mario & Luigi'' games. [[Spritzbloom]]s, [[Virus]]es, [[Krubbish]]es, [[Antasman|Antasmen]] and [[Shy Guy Airtub DX|Shy Guy Airtubs DX]] are some of the enemies that can give this status effect to Mario and Luigi.

While a Bro is mini, their POW and DEF are reduced, and neither [[Bros. Attack]]s or [[Luiginary Attack]]s can be used. In the case of Bros. Attacks, this also means the other Bro cannot use them even if they are not mini. Note that Mini stacks with [[POW-Down]] and [[DEF-Down]]. The former case reduces the damage that a Bro can deal severely, while the latter can increase the damage of any oncoming attack to values that could inflict a one-hit KO.

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
{{quote|Oh ho! This one's a real gas! It'll shrink you down to micro size!|Ludwig von Koopa|Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam}}

The Tiny status effect reappears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', but it can only be inflicted on Mario, Luigi, and [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] as the effect of the second [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]] from [[Ludwig]] and [[Larry]] in their second battle, which costs 4 dark [[Star Point|Star Points]] to use.

It functions mostly the same as it did in ''Dream Team'', lowering POW and DEF, and disabling Bros. Attacks and [[Trio Attack|Trio Attacks]]. The only exception is that there's no indicator displayed above each inflicted Bro as long as they are tiny, unlike all other status effects.

====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
In the ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' mode of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', the [[Lightning (move)|Lightning]] [[Captain Command]] can shrink the entire opposing squad, at which point all their stats will drop and will be unable to use [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skills]].

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
The Lightning command returns with the same effects in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. During the level [[Be Leery of Lightning]], all allies will remain small for the entire level.
