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.
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', certain enemies such as [[Hammer Bro]]s have the ability to shrink [[Mario]]. When he is Tiny, his attack power drops by half. It is indicated by a pink, white, and green circle above Mario. He can also inflict this on enemies using [[Shrink Stomp]]. Even though enemies are shrunken for 3 turns by Shrink Stomp, it ends just before the enemy attacks on their third turn, so in actuality, it only lasts for 2 turns.

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.
The effect returns in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', but this time around, it only docks Mario two attack points, lessening the severity. It is indicated by a very small face. Once again, Mario can Shrink Stomp to shrink a foe. [[Mini-Yoshi]] can inflict this status on enemies with his [[Mini-Egg]] move. Also, the [[Mini Mr. Mini]] item can shrink enemies.
 
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.

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.
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.

{{quote|Oh ho! This one's a real gas! It'll shrink you down to micro size!|Ludwig von Koopa|Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam}}
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', Mario, Luigi, and Paper Mario can only become tiny as an effect of a [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]] from [[Ludwig von Koopa|Ludwig]] and [[Larry Koopa|Larry]] in their second battle.
 
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.
