* In one chapter of ''[[Mother 3]]'', Lucas and his dog Boney need to gain access into a nightclub. However, the club doesn't allow minors or pets, so Boney dons a t-shirt and hat and stands on his hind legs to look more like a person. They're still rejected, but the waitress lets them in anyway (incidentally, {{spoiler|the waitress is also another party member in disguise; she just happens to be better at it.}}) |

* Iroquois Pliskin in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 2'' is so ''obviously'' Snake in a different uniform with his hair down that it's [[The Untwist|genuinely shocking]] when he turns out to be Snake in a different uniform with his hair down. [[Word of God]] is that [[Hideo Kojima]] kept pressuring them to make the disguise more and more transparent, the idea being to take advantage of paranoid gamers expecting his [[Gambit Pileup|twisty]] plots to be more twisty than they actually are. |

** Exactly the opposite and a great example of this trope occurs in ''Metal Gear Solid 3'' with {{spoiler|[http://img826.imageshack.us/img826/2196/metalgearsolid3evatatya.png EVA/Tatyana]}}.

Combed back hair, glasses, and a different set of clothes shouldn't really fool anyone, but instead of relying entirely on it, the person in question also changes body posture, movement, and entire way of acting. |

** {{spoiler|Liquid's disguising himself as Master Miller}} retroactively is this, as not only did he mimic {{spoiler|Miller}} in both {{spoiler|appearance and in voice}}, he also changed his {{spoiler|overall demeanor}} to be more similar to how {{spoiler|Miller}} would act. Originally, it was closer to [[Paper-Thin Disguise]], but the rereleases of the MSX [[Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake]] redid the design for {{spoiler|Miller}} to match his "appearance" in Metal Gear Solid, and his appearance in Peace Walker was based on his Metal Gear Solid appearance. |

* ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'': In the middle of their adventure, the brothers stumble upon a situation that requires a stand-in for Peach. They weren't aware of this earlier, but, conveniently, have one of Peach's dresses with them [[Noodle Implements|((don't ask))]]. [[Bellisario's Maxim|We probably don't want to know]] why they have the wig, but this fits the trope namer to a ''T'', because, in addition to the dress and wig, in all of the other scenes, both brothers have vague-italian accents—though, in this instance, Luigi does a disturbingly accurate impression of Peach... |
