Line 158:
* In ''[[Ragnarok Online]]'', in order to get to the Rekenber Corporation's laboratory for various quests, you just have to wear a pair of geek glasses and a white mustache to get pass the guard guarding the laboratory, and the guard will allow you to pass even if you have a different hairstyle, clothing or even as a female.
* The 1994 PC game ''[[Eagle Eye Mysteries|Eagle Eye Mysteries in London]]'' has a mystery called "Case of Blood's Bold Bauble," where the protagonists have to get information from an obstructive hotel desk clerk. Your partner borrows another character's glasses and puts them on you, then pretends that you're the star of a new TV show and he/she is your agent. The kicker: the glasses is the only thing your (unseen by you) character's avatar wears in the way of a disguise, your partner doesn't even attempt to disguise him/herself, both of you are children (which means your partner shouldn't be old enough to be a TV actor's agent), the clerk will have presumably met you before (if you're playing the mysteries in the order they're presented), ''and the clerk still falls for it''.
* Lee Chaolan from ''[[Tekken]]'' enters the King of Iron Fist Tournament 4 under the disguise of Violet - which consists of dyeing his hair purple and wearing sunglasses. One wonders who he was trying to fool, but oddly enough, he can even fool Heihachi Mishima - as in, ''his adoptive father'' - with it.
* ''[[The Adventures of Robin Hood (video game)|The Adventures of Robin Hood]]'': Putting on a monk's robe fools guards every time - even when they see you doing it.
* In the second ''[[Sly Cooper]]'' game, [[Spell My Name with a "The"|The]] [[Large Ham|Murray]] disguises himself as an anthropomorphic moose [[Furry Confusion|by wearing a stuffed moose head over his own]]. To be fair, these guys [[The Guards Must Be Crazy|aren't exactly the brightest]] or [[Conspicuously Selective Perception|most perceptive]].
Line 167:
* Despite having long green hair, horns, not altering his voice, and a tendency to wear the same blue clothing, Arle couldn't identify her ''long-term antagonist'' Satan in ''[[Puyo Puyo]] TSU's'' Alternate Ending, all because he was wearing a gold mask that only covered his eyes.
* ''[[Monster Girl Quest Paradox]]'' has Alicetroemeria, actually Alice VIII disguised as a human. Said disguise consists solely of wearing a different kind of dress - her face is completely uncovered. The party immediately figures out her identity upon meeting her, yet Heinrich (who's on a journey to defeat Alice VIII) is comically unable to realize this.
** Alice is no better in the original ''[[Monster Girl Quest]]'' either. She uses magic to disguise herself before entering Iliasburg, but while the disguise might pass for human, it clearly can't pass for a normal human; it makes her horns disappear, switches her tail for legs, and turns her skin flesh-colored, but does nothing to replace her [[Stripperific]] outfit and tattoos. Also, while humans see nothing suspicious about this, Granberia has no problem recognizing her, but then, {{spoiler|it is doubtful a general of the Monster Lord's army would have trouble recognizing their queen.}}
* In ''[[Shantae|Shantae and the Seven Sirens]]'', Rottytops disguises herself as a half-genie, calling herself "Fillin the Blank". Even Shantae (who is often [[The Ditz|rather ditzy]] is suspicious, and anyone familiar with the franchise likely recognizes her quickly. ▼
* ''[[Shantae]]'' games:
▲* In ''
* Shantae’s Ninja Mode in ''Shanae: Half Genie Hero'' DLC; Shantae’s mail-order Ninja costume is barely a disguise. Despite this, her [[Arch Enemy]] Risky Boots doesn’t recognize her at all.
* A bizarre example occurs in the Stalingrad level of ''[[Call of Duty|Call of Duty Vanguard]]'', where a German soldier sees the disarmed female player character and starts treating her as though she were a civilian (even after having seconds to look at her alone while not under fire), ordering her to stay in an apartment where she promptly finds a knife to stab him in the back and take his gun. The writer seems to have forgotten this woman is still wearing a military uniform, complete with rank tabs, a military cap, and ammo pouches so the ''only'' way she is currently disguised is that she is ''not currently holding a gun''.
