Line 28:
* Happens in one episode in the anime adaptation of ''[[Kochikame]]'' when the main character Ryotsu was shrunk by the wizard from Heaven. He goes through mishaps in the police box and later helped taking out criminals holding up hostages.
* Happens to the 5 main girls in ''[[Yes! Pretty Cure 5]] [[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo|GoGo!]]'' when one of the villains gives them a fake version of the Rose Pact that shrinks them.
* One episode of ''[[To
* In one episode of the original ''[[Dragon Ball]]'', Bulma develops an invention that can shrink anybody. Master Roshi decides to use it to watch Bulma go to the bathroom. {{spoiler|He doesn't get to see her go, but he ''does'' get flushed down the toilet.}}
Line 79:
* Shrinking is one of the ''less'' bizarre experiences Alice has in Wonderland.
* Used in one of the Danny Dunn children's scifi adventures.
* Two books in the ''[[Eerie, Indiana]]'' series use this. ''The Incredible Shrinking Stanley'', in which Stanley gets splashed with special soap from the Eerie laundry mat and starts shrinking, and ''The Dollhouse That Time Forgot'' where Marshall, after exploring a house that looks suspiciously like the dollhouse his sister just bought, finds himself getting smaller and smaller. The latter overlaps with [[The Doll Episode]].
* ''The Shrinking Man'' by Richard Matheson, on which the movie ''The Incredible Shrinking Man'' was based (almost all modern editions of the novel even add the "''Incredible''" part to the book's title, as the movie is more famous).
Line 129:
* The 'Mini' spell and debuff in most ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' installments, which induces a status where all physical attacks are reduced to [[Scratch Damage]] and defense is lowered.
* Minimize in the ''[[Pokémon]]'' games.
* The Mini Mushroom in the ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' games shrinks Mario and co. to the size of a mouse. This allows them to fit in very small gaps and [[Walking on Water|run on water]], but [[One-Hit-Point Wonder|one hit will kill them]].
** It also cuts their mass (because the ''Mario'' games already [[Art Major Physics|laugh in the face of physics]]). It does ''not'' change the strength of jumps. These two facts allow Mario to vault through the air and fall much more slowly.
* In ''[[Tales of Monkey Island]] Chapter 4: The Trial and Execution of Guybrush Threepwood'', Guybrush uses one of the buttons on De Singe's Auto-Trepanation Helmet and gets shrunk a bit smaller than the size of a lab vole for a bit before growing back to normal size.
Line 175:
*** Also done in 1994 series, as a part of Nightmare Fuel, during a nightmare.
* Happened to Mario and Luigi in an episode of ''The [[Super Mario Bros Super Show]]''.
* An early episode of ''[[The Fairly
** There's also an episode where he shrinks down to have a chat with his (not making this up) evil, undead, pet gerbil, only to discover that it's [[Ax Crazy]] and out for revenge.
** There's also the episode where Timmy wishes he could have one last adventure with his Crimson Chin doll, upon which Cosmo and Wanda shrink him down to toy size. Much of this episode is very reminiscint of the movie ''[[Honey, I Shrunk the Kids]]''.
Line 196:
* On an episode of ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'', the cast shrinks down to rescue one of Furrball's fleas from a vicious bedbug, but not without [[Lampshade Hanging]].
* ''Micro Ventures'' from ''[[The Banana Splits]]''
* In an episode of ''[[Eek!
* In the ''[[Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders]]'' episode "Full Circle", after the villainess Lady Kale tries to harness the ultimate magic of the Crown Jewels, it becomes too much for her and the power ends up shrinking her in size before she fades out to dust.
* Happens in ''[[The Jetsons]]'' once. It's George who gets shrunk.
