Tiny Wario, also known as Small Wario,[1][2] is one of Wario's many transformations in the Wario Land series. When small, he does not wear a hat and is either bald or has a mohawk, unlike his normal self.

HistoryEdit

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden CoinsEdit

This transformation is first seen in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins after Mario defeats Fire Wario. In this form, Wario simply flees from the castle. Unlike later games, he is fully bald.

Wario Land seriesEdit

Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 / Virtual Boy Wario LandEdit

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 IIEdit

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!Edit

In Wario Land: Shake It!, a form of Wario called Mini Wario appears, but unlike Tiny Wario, 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 seriesEdit

WarioWare: Touched!Edit

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 MovesEdit

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 & WarioEdit

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

WarioWare GoldEdit

In WarioWare Gold, three Tiny Warios appear in Balloon Brigade, the 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 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 appearancesEdit
