Early on, the form was completely equivalent to [[Small Mario]] from the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series, though starting with ''[[Wario Land II]]'', it became more distinct in context and function, becoming a recurring gag in the ''[[WarioWare]]'' games. Unlike Small Mario, Small Wario is physically different from regular Wario in other ways beyond his size.

==History==
===''Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins''===
This transformation is first seen in ''[[Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins]]'' after [[Mario]] defeats [[Fire Mario|Fiery Wario]]. In this form, Wario simply flees from the castle, ineffectually trying to attack Mario by harmlessly throwing a shoe at him. Unlike later games, he is fully bald.

===''Wario Land'' series===
====''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'' / ''Virtual Boy Wario Land''====
Like [[Small Mario]], in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'' and in ''[[Virtual Boy Wario Land]]'', Wario becomes this when damaged by an enemy. He can no longer body-slam, and taking damage in this state results in losing a life. Small Wario can still throw coins, and pick up enemies as normal. However, any type of pot can revert him back into his pudgier self. Wario appeared as Small Wario in the North American commercial for ''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3''.

====''Wario Land II''====
In ''[[Wario Land II]]'', Wario is transformed into Tiny Wario when hit by a [[Wizard]]'s magic. In this state, Wario cannot attack any enemies, but he is able to leap higher and go through small holes. The physical condition is reversed if Wario falls into water or gets hit by an enemy.

====''Wario Land: Shake It!''====
In ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'', '''Mini Wario''' appears, but unlike other incarnations, it is just a smaller version of normal Wario with no physical changes whatsoever. This form is gained by going through a [[shrinkbarrel]]'s large opening, and it can be reversed by entering the smaller side.

===''WarioWare'' series===
====''WarioWare: Touched!''====
[[File:Warioman gameover touched.png|thumb|Wario-Man does a similar pose to Tiny Wario in the Game Over screen of his stage]]
While Tiny Wario does not directly appear in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', the pose [[Wario-Man]] makes in the [[Game Over]] screen resembles that of Tiny Wario's art from ''Virtual Boy Wario Land''.

====''WarioWare: Smooth Moves''====
In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', Wario receives a small, pink motorbike from [[Penny]] that shrinks him and separates him into multiple Tiny Warios that raid a strawberry farm, setting up for the level Forever Form Baton. Excluding microgame sets, it is the penultimate stage of the game, with [[Orbulon]]'s stage being the last. In this game, Tiny Wario has a yellow singlet and blue shoes and yellow gloves. After the player completes Forever Form Baton, Wario reverts back to his regular form by absorbing his clones.

====''Game & Wario''====
In ''[[Game & Wario]]'', robotic MechaWario minions resembling Tiny Wario are the main enemies in the minigame "[[Arrow]]".

====''WarioWare Gold''====
In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', three Tiny Warios appear in [[Balloon Brigade]], the [[microgame|Boss Game]] of Wario's Touch warm-up. The goal of the game is to protect the Tiny Warios from an approaching lighting storm by dropping them from balloons to cloud platforms that fly away. In the Challenge mode [[Wario Interrupts]], [[Wario Deluxe]] can summon three balloons each carrying a picture of Tiny Wario's head as one of his distractions. The heads dangle over the Touch Screen, partially blocking the player's view of the microgames. If the balloons are popped, either by mashing a button displayed on each balloon or with [[Balloon Buster (object)|Lulu's Balloon Buster]], the head falls off the screen. Otherwise, if Wario Deluxe calls a new distraction any remaining balloons float away with the Tiny Wario heads.

===Other appearances===
====''Rhythm Heaven Megamix''====
{{main-wiki|rhythmheaven|Tiny Wario|Rhythm Heaven Wiki}}
Tiny Warios (in their ''Smooth Moves'' design) make an appearance in the Wario... Where? challenge set of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. The set's version of [[rhythmheaven:Freeze Frame|Freeze Frame]] features Tiny Warios as the racers [[Dr. Crygor]] must take photos of, replacing the regular race cars from the original version.

==Physical appearance==
Tiny Wario, besides being shorter, has a different appearance than regular Wario; in contrast to Wario's swept-up bangs and sideburns, Tiny Wario only has a spiky shock of hair, resembling a mohawk, running along his head. In Tiny Wario's debut in "Super Mario Land 2 - 6 Golden Coins," the form was completely bald.

Tiny Wario has skinnier arms, compared to the large and muscular arms of his regular form. Tiny Wario's mouth and teeth are also much smaller than Wario's, rarely grinning.
