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.
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.

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.
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. [[Mini-Yoshi|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.

This status effect reappears in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', but referred to as '''"Mini"''' replacing the [[poison (status effect)|poison]] status effect. [[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.
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.

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 von Koopa|Ludwig]] and [[Larry Koopa|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.
