Shrink Ray

The Shrink Ray is an item. It was first seen on Shrink Ray Island, where is revealed that it was created by CJ. You can also buy it in the store for 150 credits. If you put this on and press SPACEBAR, it will shoot a green ray that can shrink other poptropicans.

Appearance
The Shrink Ray resembles a crude gun put together with numerous spare parts like wires, dials and tape. There is a prominent dial at the side that allows the ray to switch between "Shrink" and "Grow".

History
CJ created the shrink ray as a top-secret science project for the P.S 201 River City Science Fair.

Role In Shrink Ray Island
When you discover the message by CJ. under her microscope, Mr. Silva walks into the room dressed as a wild west villain. He uses the ray to shrink you down and you must find out what happened to CJ.. After finding CJ.captive in his office, Mr. Silva will walk in and attempt to shrink you to microscopic size. You have to hide behind numerous objects and hold out long enough for you to make it to the table and hide behind the mirror. The ray will then bounce off the mirror and render Mr. Silva tiny. You and CJ. then push the dial to "Grow" and unshrink yourselves.

Trivia

 * Technically, when you are holding the gun, you aren't. Your poptropican's hand seems to be holding air and not the trigger on the gun.
 * There is also a shrinking machine in Virus Hunter Island though this one is much larger and shrinks you to nanoscopic size.
