AMagic Shrink Potion, also referred to as aMagic Shrinking Potion, is a yellow concoction that is capable of shrinking almost anything it touches down to a minuscule size. In order to work, its target must be doused in it, as a few mere drops are not enough to have any effect. The effects of the potion can be countered with an antidote such as theMagic Growing Potion.Waldo the Wizard is apparently the inventor of Magic Shrink Potion, as he is capable of conjuring up a flask with little effort.

History[edit]

The Magic Shrink Potion makes its first and only appearance inThe Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "Princess, I Shrunk the Mario Brothers". WhenMario,Luigi,Princess Toadstool, andToad are sentenced to the dungeon of Waldo's castle byMouser and twoKoopa Troopas, Waldo reveals himself and douses the villains with his Magic Shrink Potion. Once they shrink, Waldo places them in a fishbowl and announces that he will use his potion to reclaim his castle fromKing Koopa.

Hoping to shrink King Koopa himself, Toad takes the Magic Shrink Potion from Waldo and runs out of the dungeon with it. While attempting to splash King Koopa with the potion, Toad accidentally hits Mario and Luigi with it, shrinking them instead. Although Mario and Luigi get into several misadventures while they are small, they are eventually restored to their normal sizes when King Koopa mistakenly sprays them with Waldo's Growing Potion.
