Tiny Wario

Not to be confused with Baby Wario.

"If a spell is cast on me, I become tiny. I can't do anything when I'm tiny except run away."

- Wario

Tiny Wario, also known as Small Wario, is one of Wario's many transformations in the Wario Land series. This transformation was first seen in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins after Mario defeated Fire Wario. When small, he does not wear a hat. Like Small Mario, in the first Wario Land and in Virtual Boy Wario Land, he will become this when damaged by an enemy. The treasure hunter can no longer body-slam, and touching another monster means death. However, any type of pot can revert the antihero back into his pudgier self. Wario appeared as Tiny Wario in the commercial for Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3.

In Wario Land II, Wario could not be defeated by any enemy. Instead, some of the foes triggered transformations. Tiny Wario was among these alterations. The status effect can only be caused by a Wizard. With a shake of its wand, the Wizard turns Wario tiny. In this state, Wario cannot attack any enemies, but he is able to leap higher. The physical condition could be reversed if Wario falls into water or gets hit by an enemy. Also, the Wario Land II transformation is similar to the eventual Mini Mario form introduced in New Super Mario Bros.

In WarioWare: Smooth Moves, Wario receives a small, pink motorbike from Penny that shrinks him and separates him into multiple Tiny Warios. It is the final stage of the game.

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.

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