''Wario: Master of Disguise'' is a 2D side-scrolling game for the [[Nintendo DS]]. As the title suggests, it stars [[Wario Land
One day, Wario was lounging on his sofa, watching TV, when a show called "[[Phantom Thief|The Silver Zephyr]]" came on. It was a show about a man named Count Cannoli who used his magic wand, Goodstyle, to transform into the eponymous master thief. After seeing him transform, Wario decided that he wanted in on the action, so he invented the Telmet, a device that allowed him to venture into the TV. Upon entering the TV, he landed right on Cannoli's head, causing him to drop Goodstyle. Wario, of course, being Wario, took Goodstyle for himself. Goodstyle proceeded to dub Wario his new master, and gave him his very own thief outfit.

Wario soon learns about the Wishstone, an artifact that, supposedly, can grant any wish. However, it was [[Dismantled MacGuffin|split into 5 pieces]], which were then hidden in separate places. With this in mind, Wario makes it his goal to obtain the Wishstone pieces and recreate the Wishstone. However, this quest does not come without obstructions: Cannoli does not particularly enjoy having his wand stolen from him and will stop at nothing to get it back. If that wasn't enough, the [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] Carpaccio also wants the Wishstone pieces, so needless to say, Wario has his work cut out for him.
The gameplay consists of traversing several different locations, beating up enemies and searching for treasure. The treasure chests require the player to win minigames to open, and consist of one of several different types of items, depending on the chest's color. Red chests contain treasures, which merely exist for the sake of [[

** The game itself is also an example, since Wario's "disguises" are much less "disguises" and more "[[Clothes Make the Superman|superpower costumes]]." Wario never attempts to fool anyone with his disguises, [[Paper-Thin Disguise|not that anyone with a functioning brain would fall for them anyway]]. The problem? "Wario: Master of Costumes" [[Rule of Cool|doesn't sound as good]].
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Carpaccio developed a morphing technology that lets him turn into Head Honcho Carpaccio, an enormous blue head resembling the Snow Globe and Blow Globe enemies. Notably, he only uses this form in the first battle against him—the second time, he challenges Wario to a [[Racing Mini Game]] instead of a fight.
Line 69:
* [[Riddling Sphinx]]: See [[Enter Solution Here]].
* [[Role Called]]
* [[Sealed Evil in
* [[Sequential Boss]]: Stuffy the 64th and {{spoiler|Terrormisu}}.
* [[Shout-Out]]: "The Silver Zephyr" is an obvious parody of ''[[The Scarlet Pimpernel (
* [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World]]: Sneezemore Cave.
* [[Slobs Versus Snobs]]: Wario's rivalry with Cannoli and Carpaccio has some shades of this.
