Tiny Wario

Tiny Wario is another 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. Like Standard Mario, in the first Wario Land and in Virtual Boy Wario Land, he will become this when damaged by an enemy. The thief can no longer body-slam or throw enemies, and touching another monster means death. However, any type of pot can revert the antihero back into his pudgier self.

In Wario Land II, Wario could not be defeated by any enemy. Instead, some of the foes triggered remarkable transformations. Tiny Wario was among these alterations. The status effect can only be caused by a Wizard Goom. With a shake of its wand, the Goom turns Wario tiny. In this state, Wario cannot attack any enemies, but he 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 Crygor that shrinks him and separates him into multiple Tiny Warios. These Warios test the player with a Microgame challenge.

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.
