Mini-Me

"Don't talk to me or my 'son' ever again."

Number Two: He is identical to you in every way, except he is one-eighth your size.
Dr. Evil: Breathtaking. I shall call him, Mini-Me.

— Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me

Want to have a Fun-Sized version of something but you still don't want to lose the original in favor of it? Why don't we have both!

Here are the ways this could work:

• A clone of the character, whether it be a younger version (starting their birth from scratch or already aged up) or just a literally smaller version of the character.
• A robot is created in the character's likeness, but tinier.
• If a child is truly an exact copy of the parent but shorter, or at the very least close enough to count.
• A toy version of the character is made (in-universe) in their likeness. (Unless it's a Voodoo Doll. A Matryoshka Object can overlap if both characters are identical.)
• A character and their younger selves meeting or existing together for whatever reason. (This is more visually obvious in animated works, especially if using a few other tropes.)

The key word for this trope to work is co-existing, so a character with the ability to shrink in size does not count, that's just the same character but smaller.

A parent trope to the Mini Mook, which involves tiny versions of regular enemies, so all examples involving Mooks should go there. Speaking of parents, family related tropes such as Uncanny Family Resemblance, Generation Xerox, and Identical Grandson can also work if the resemblance is literal, possibly if time travel is involved for the two to co-exist. Speaking of time travel, also compare, My Future Self and Me, which could overlap with this if the characters are children, and would naturally be shorter. And speaking of Alternate Self, you would often find examples as a Sub-Trope of that (but not always). Also can be used with Me's a Crowd if there's more than one or Good Angel, Bad Angel, which often uses two existing characters as a conscience.

Since smaller versions of toys, models, technology, and natural things in the wild occur very commonly in the real world, No Real Life Examples, Please!. (Some of those examples can be fit into Fun Size, anyway.) However, exceptions might be made for toys if the example is notable enough, such as a bigger/smaller version of something otherwise identical packed in the same set.

During their final battle, Joker tries to get Tim to finish off Batman, only for Tim to shoot Joker instead, leading to the latter's death.

• For a very loose definition of "Mini", Godzilla had two "sons" in the Showa and Heisei eras with Minilla and Godzilla Junior, respectively. They aren't really related, but being that they're the only two members of the same species in their eras, Manilla and Junior are basically just smaller Godzillas. Though at the very end of Heisei's finale Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, Godzilla Junior stops being so "little" and becomes full size, and Averts this entirely by being the sole new Godzilla.

Literature

• In the Black Mirror episode Rachel, Jack, and Ashley Too there are robotic dolls made of the (fictional) pop star, Ashley O, called "Ashley Too" complete with her voice.

• In one episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Hilary Banks gives her younger sister Ashley a makeover, and she comes out looking like a splitting-image of Hilary with the exact same outfit and hair, even impersonating her older sister's squeak-like laugh!

• Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide:
  • In the guide episode for "Stressin' Out" Ned, Moze, and Cookie spend most of the part with Gordy, iTeacher, and Mr. Wright respectively and by the near end of the episode the teens end up dressing up exactly like the adults, almost look like future-versions of them. When all six of them walk into each other in the hall way at the same time, the pause is very long, silent, awkward, and very amusing.
  • Downplayed in the guide for "Teachers" where Ned tried to be the teacher's pet to get better grades from Mr. Sweeney, including dressing up just like him. It was short lived, and eventually Ned realized it wasn't necessary and he got better grades by just... doing the work.

That, until the music of The Great Khali was heard and the real Khali appeared, being miraculously saved by Hulk Hogan at the last moment.
• One of the most common ways for a heel (or a prank-loving face) character to humiliate their opponent is to let midget-sized versions of their opponents enter into the ring, usually to mock them with their height or the silliness of their gimmick:
  • During D-Generation X's mid-2005 feud with the Spirit Squad, one segment had the duo summoning five midgets dressed as the Squad into the ring, only for the real deal to appear later and be showered in goo, leading to the midgets mooning them with their butt cheeks reading "Suck it!".

• In Castle Cats and Dungeon Dogs, you can equip your character with miniature versions of the heroes called "plushies". These "plushies" are animated just like their hero counterparts and can be seen alongside them in battle, even playing attack animations, but they're simply decorative.
• In Chibi-Robo!, characters often comment how much the title character looks like a smaller version of its predecessor "Giga-Robo", almost like he could be his "son". Some of the toys who have "children" also look a lot like them, like the Philies (Funky Phil's offspring) and the children of Mort and Princess Pitts who look identical. This one could be a Justified Trope since they're toys.
  • Chibi-Robo: Zip Lash introduced smaller robots of the already very small Chibi-Robo called the "Chibi-Tots".
• Digimon: Kiwimon and Dokugumon use smaller versions of themselves to attack, named ChibiKiwimon and KoDokugumon respectively.^note ChibiKiwimon has only ever appeared for Kiwimon's attack, while KoDokugumon has appeared as its own species in recent media, such as Digimon Soul Chaser.
• Fate/Grand Order:
  • The Mini-Nobus, which are tiny cartoony versions of Oda Nobunaga. As in, they look cartoony In-Universe. And all they can say is "Nobu". She uses them as minions and a private army at once.
  • Leonardo da Vinci creates a child clone of herself who is also female to serve as the navigator/driver of Chaldea's Awesome Personnel Carrier, the Shadow Border. The two can only be seen together in gameplay as in the story, the adult da Vinci is killed by Kirei Kotomine and the child clone awakens after the original's death.
• Five Nights at Freddy's:
  • Plushie versions of most of the animatronics can be found throughout the series, mostly for decorative purposes. Completely Justified since Freddy Fazbear's is a franchise In-Universe.
  • Nightmare Freddy in the fourth game have three Mini Freddies clinging to him called "Freddles", who sometimes get onto the player's bed, making them have to scare them away with a flashlight.
• The Nanos in Fusionfall are small, cartoony versions of most of the playable Cartoon Network characters that aid the player after they collect them.

• Kirby
  • In some of the Kirby games, the 1-up extra life looks like a smaller Kirby next to the word 1UP.
  • The Mini copy ability in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror makes Kirby shrink in size so he can enter small doors. Keep in mind while also being an example of Incredible Shrinking Man, this trope also applies to this game in particular since Kirby is split into four different-colored copies.
• The Legend of Zelda:
  • Hyrule Warriors Legends: The Fairy Companions can be dressed in the clothes of some of the series' characters, some of them playable such as Zelda and Impa.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: Although the two don't (really) co-exist, Deku Link is by far the shortest of Link's transformations.
  • The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker has the Nintendo Gallery, where if Link takes a picture of a character or enemy in the overworld, he can commission a miniature figure made of them. The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap has something similar with the Figurine Gallery, where the Figures can be won in a Dispensing Machine.
• Can be done intentionally with Miis (in-game and out), due to the customizable nature of the Digital Avatar nature.
• Mortal Kombat: Raiden has a smaller version of himself called "Kid Thunder" who shows up in his "Friendship" Finishing Move in II, Trilogy, and 11.
  • In Raiden's guest appearance in Injustice 2, the AI also has a very low chance of summoning Kidd Thunder in a taunt. It unlocks an achievement/trophy.
• Pikmin:
  • Pikmin 2: The Bulbmin are parasitic Pikmin that have infected Red Bulborbs, so they're basically the aforementioned Mascot Mook scaled down to Pikmin size, with a Pikmin-like stalk growing out of their back, with the difference being that the Bulbmin HELP the player instead of trying to eat them or their Pikmin.
  • In general, the "dwarf" versions of most of the Grub-dog family (like Bulborbs and Bulbears) don't really have any major physical differences from their older and larger counterparts, unlike most of the other younger/older creatures seen in the games. Depending on how antagonistic one views the wildlife, this could fit into another trope, too.
• PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale: The Minions are cartoony super-deformed versions of supporting characters who act as "cheerleaders" for the playable ones. However, with the exception of Young Drake, none of them are playable characters.
• Pokémon:
  • Most Pokémon look slightly to vastly different when they evolve a get larger, with a few exceptions. One of these is the Diglett line, where its evolved form, Dugtrio, just looks like three larger Diglett stuck together, making the later look like this trope to the former in comparison.
  • Weezing has a smaller "head" fused to its larger one. Downplayed as it's still technically one Pokémon.
• Poppy Playtime: The Mini-Huggies are this to the character Huggy Wuggy (at least the one players encountered in chapter 1) who is at least over ten feet tall, while the Mini-Huggies trying to attack the player in chapter 2 are smaller and hide in pipes.

Raise a Neutral Chaos Chao from a Shiny Blue Egg and you have yourself a Chao that resembles Chaos 0 from the first Sonic Adventure.
  • If Cream is equipped as a sidekick in Sonic Advance 3, the lead hero will have a Chao Assist Character that looks like them.
• Lil' Judd introduced in Splatoon 2 is a mini clone of Judd, the referee from the first game who works along side him in this one.
• Super Mario Bros.:
  • Super Mario 64: The baby penguins look exactly like the Mother Penguin, even the one that isn't her child.
  • Mario Party: The Koopa Kids in the earlier games don't quite count as Mini Mooks, but just Adorable Evil Minion versions of Bowser with smaller Black Bead Eyes.
  • Mario Party 4: The eight playable characters have their own diorama toy set in the Present Room. The dolls themselves are unlockable after winning on the board "Koopa's Seaside Soiree" with that character.
  • The Mini Marios in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series are wind-up toy versions of Mario. Later games would introduce more toys for other characters such as Donkey Kong, Pauline, Toad, Peach and more. There are even a few toys based on regular enemies like Shy Guys.
• Super Smash Bros.:
  • This can be invoked in the series starting with Melee using the Poison Mushroom "power up" during a Mirror Match, where fighters will be fighting against or alongside a smaller version of them for a few seconds. A few Event Matches (or Spirit Battles in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Ultimate) use fighters that have the "tiny" effect permanent.
  • Both versions of Ocarina Of Time's Link are playable in Super Smash Bros. Melee; Young Link wears the same outfit and has the same moves as his older counterpart but is slightly faster and is a smaller target. This is downplayed in later games as there are still bigger/smaller versions of "Link" in later titles (with three in Ultimate) they are all separate versions of the character from separate games.
  • Kirby usually gains some kind of accessory (if not change his body) of those he swallows, and he is among the shortest of the playable fighters.
• Team Fortress 2 has the "Pocket" cosmetics, miniature doll/plushie versions of certain characters for specific classes. There's the Pocket Medic for the Heavy and Soldier, Pocket Pauline for the Scout, Pocket Pyro for the Engineer (with the Pyro having his own Engineer version with the Pocket Pardner), Pocket Heavy for the Medic, and Pocket versions of Saxton Hale and the Horseless Headless Horsemann for all classes. Related, the Pyro also has the Cremator's Conscience (two plush versions of themselves with a halo and devil horns) while players who bought the Spycrab Plush in real life can get a crab version of the Spy that sits on his shoulder.
• In Them's Fightin' Herds: A few characters have mini plush versions of them that player's Pixel Lobby Sprites can use as a wearable hat on their head. A Mini Arizona and Mini Velvet can be found in the first chapter while a mini plush of Cashmere (though she isn't a playable fighter) can be bought at Cap N' Cash's.
  Fred: Is this, a... plush of herself? Geez, talk about narcissism.
• Newborn piñatas in the Viva Piñata series don't have any difference from the adult ones besides, as you guessed, being smaller.
• Wild CA Ts 1995 has the baby Daemonite enemies, pint-sized versions of the recurring Daemonite mooks. They stood up to the heroes' kneecaps, but will still attempt clawing the hero's legs.

Web Animation

• Doctor Lalve is the creator of the memetic Tiny Desk Engineer. A tiny Engineer that does nothing but dance on whatever surface it's on.
• Klay World: This can visually come into play whenever a smaller klayman is used, since all of them look exactly the same.

• In an episode of Back at the Barnyard, Otis orders a tiny clone of himself called Little Otis, who is so annoying that Otis finds him embarrassing.

• Big Hero 6: The Series: Hiro builds a smaller version of Baymax named Minimax to serve as a sidekick for Fred. He is basically the opposite of Baymax in personality, acting as a Large Ham eager for action.
• An episode of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command involved Emperor Zurg engineering evil clones of the team but, because he was impatient, he cut their development short and they came out as bratty kids. They also built a miniature version of XR, for symmetry.
• Futurama:
  • In the season 3 episode "Parasites Lost", The Planet Express crew create mini robot duplicates of themselves that they control remotely to go on a Fantastic Voyage-esque journey into Fry's body to kill the parasites that are living inside him. (The reason they don't just simply shrink in size is because "multiple tiny atoms" would be too expensive). Leela also makes her own tiny version to destroy the Express Crew's copies after realizing that Fry is actually a smarter, stronger, and better person with the worms taking better care of his body. Finally, since Fry wanted to be sure if Leela loved him or what he became because of the worms, he makes his own robot duplicate to go inside himself and convinces the parasites to leave, making him "normal" again.
  • In the season 6 episode "Benderama", Bender abuses a machine that makes two smaller copies of whatever it scans to make more of himself, and then each clone decides to make their own copy. By the third act there are over two thousand microscopic Benders.
• The Fairly OddParents!: In the second Oh Yeah! Cartoons short "Too Many Timmys!", Timmy wishes for "a ton" of clones of himself to help with Vicky's chores. Since a "ton" is 2000 pounds that wish was granted in 44 and a half Timmys. Sure enough, one of the 45 clones was literally half his size. It could have been worse...
• The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy:
  • Inverted in the episode "Five-O-Clock Shadows" where one of the hundreds of Shadow Billy clones was a giant Billy.

• My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic:
  • We learn from Twilight in the episode "Hearthbreakers" that it's tradition for ponies to hang up stuffed dolls in their likeness over the fireplace for Hearth's Warming Eve. Pinkie Pie's family though use rock sculptures of themselves.

However, the Amoeba Boys send the girls... dolls that look just like them. Subverted as they were supposed to be voodoo dolls, but due to the Amoeba Boys' extreme incompetence, they didn't know that they weren't supposed to send the dolls to the girls, so for the girls, they just see it as this trope. And knowing the Boys, the dolls probably not might have worked anyway.
• Rocko's Modern Life: Filburt's four children with Dr. Hutchison look a lot like their parents when they are first hatched from eggs. Two for Filburt, one for Dr. Hutch, but also one that looks like Heffer.
  • Subverted in Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling, as those same children are now grown-up and look very different.
• Sidekick: The episode "Hello Dolly" has the supervillain The Entrepreneurinator creating an army of Eric dolls that he uses to destroy kids' toys so that they will buy new ones from him and then repeat the process over and over again.

Also when they hold onto one, they reminisce about a certain memory based on that head.
