Tiny (status effect)

Tiny is a status ailment in the Paper Mario series.

In Paper Mario, certain enemies such as Hammer Bros. have the ability to shrink Mario. When Tiny, his attack power drops by half. It is indicated by a pink, white, and green circle above Mario. Mario can also inflict this on enemies using Shrink Stomp.

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 use Shrink Stomp to shrink a foe. The Yoshi Kid can inflict this status on enemies with his Mini-Egg move. Also, the Mini Mr. Mini item can shrink enemies.
