'''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.

===''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.

When the affected Bro is tiny, their POW and DEF are reduced, and prevents the use of [[Bros. Attack|Bros. Attacks]] and/or [[Luiginary Attack|Luiginary Attacks]] for a few attack turns. However, the POW and DEF debuff percentage can be amplified even further with [[POW-Down]] and [[DEF-Down]], making the Bro either deal very minimal damage, or turning even a single instance of damage into a devastating one-hit KO that can quickly [[Game Over|end the game]] to unsuspecting players.

====''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.
