A Third Thief Brings Grief! is the fourth episode of Wario: Master of Disguise. It takes place in Sneezemore Cave.

Plot
When Wario arrives at the cave, he drops down a large pit. He begins his search for the "guy in a suit" the Sphinx mentioned in the previous episode, assuming that the person in question is Count Cannoli. However, once Wario is gone, a nearby snowman reveals itself to be Cannoli in disguise, who is also searching for the "guy in a suit" and by extension, the Wishstone piece.

Shortly after exploring the cave for a bit, Wario meets Carpaccio. He mistakes Wario for Cannoli, who is quick to correct him. Carpaccio apologizes for all the traps he set in the museum, which were intended for Cannoli. Wario then realizes that Carpaccio is the person Wario is looking for, not Cannoli. However, Carpaccio blocks the path to him with four stone doors, telling Wario to look him up when he's "tired of being a loser." Goodstyle notes the bird statues next to the doors, but this only angers and frustrates Wario. Cannoli appears and offers to tell him how to open the doors in exchange for Goodstyle, but Wario refuses.

Wario searches the cave for a method of opening the doors and finds four bird-shaped crystals. On the way, he acquires the Dragon Wario disguise, as well as an upgrade for Arty Wario. Wario uses the crystals to open the doors, and Cannoli shows up again, amazed that Wario was able to figure out how to open them. Wario then recloses the doors, leaving Cannoli behind.

Wario confronts Carpaccio, who has the next Wishstone tablet, in the next room. Carpaccio notices Goodstyle and once again mistakes Wario for Cannoli. He introduces himself as the head of Sigil Securities, but Wario doesn't care and simply wants the Wishstone piece. Carpaccio transforms into Head Honcho Carpaccio and swallows Wario whole, however, Wario is able to defeat him from the inside. Carpaccio realizes that Wario is not Cannoli and leaves, allowing Wario to get his second Wishstone piece.

The text on the Wishstone piece was: ...the wishes were...bargained for...the Pharaoh's dreams...made real...his dynasty preserved forever...the Pharaoh forever...in his palace...palace turned into a pyramid...pyramid buried under the sand...and one piece of the stone..buried alongside him...

Goodstyle uses this to deduce that the next Wishstone piece is likely buried alongside the Pharaoh in his pyramid.

Layout
The episode begins at the entrance to the cave. Upon entering, Wario will drop down a large pit. A red treasure chest containing the Majestic Heart-Shaped Straw is at the end of a hidden passage to the right. To the left, Wario will encounter the first enemy of the episode, a Mr. Cheeky. Right next to it is a moneybag. Further to the left is a large room with a purple chest where the cave's map can be found. If Wario continues further to the left, he will meet Carpaccio, who will block the path with four stone doors. Four bird-shaped crystals must be found to open them. There is a door on the upper right which leads to an area with a green background where Wario can climb a ladder to find a moneybag and a green chest. The chest contains the Dragon Guise Gem. Wario can now turn into Dragon Wario, who can breathe fire. He can use this new ability to destroy fiery red blocks and reach a nearby moneybag. Dragon Wario also falls through Semi-Solid Platforms, which can be used to find a Hat Switch on the bottom right corner. Near the green chest is a door which leads to a room with a lot of dripping icy water and a breakable floor over a pool of water. In the water is a chest holding the Jurassic Snot, but it cannot be reached without Captain Wario's upgrade. There are a Snow Globe and a Mr. Cheeky in here, and at the top of the room is a large heart and the purple chest containing the Red Crystal.

Back in the green room, Wario can climb upward while destroying red blocks to find another door. Upon entering the door, Wario will immediately find a red chest with the Paranoid Bear Carving in it, as well as a Blow Globe and a Sipping Stalk. To the right is a moneybag and a pair of blue blocks blocking the way to the Bath-Time Shampoo Hat, making it impossible to obtain without Dragon Wario's upgrade from Episode 9. Wario can make the Sipping Stalk grow by defeating the Blow Globe while it's above the sprout. By climbing it, Wario will find another moneybag and a ladder leading up to a room with two large ice chunks over a pit. Wario must use Dragon Wario to destroy the red block beneath the ice chunks so they'll fall down, then use Cosmic Wario to shoot down the small ice formation on the ceiling to make the hill below it icy. He can then slide over to the other side of the pit to find the Yellow Crystal guarded by a Sir Lance-A-Lot. Dropping down the pit leads back to another part of the previous room, where the large ice chunks will have formed a floor. Past some red blocks is a red chest containing the Spoiled Child's Pacifier. After that, Captain Wario can be used to get past the water current and return to the green room.

There is a small ice formation near the door which can be shot down to create an icy floor. By sliding off of it as Cosmic Wario, he can reach a section with multiple icy slopes leading to another door. It leads to a room with two dripping icy water spots and a Hat Switch. A small, somewhat hidden passage to the right leads to a moneybag. By falling down the left side of the pit on the left, Wario will land on a ledge in the room below, allowing him to access another room, which contains a pool of water with the Haunted Television treasure inside. Wario can glide over the pit by shooting down the ice formation near it. The room to the left contains a moneybag, a Sipping Stalk, and two Snow Globes. By climbing the Sipping Stalk and several ladders, Wario will encounter a Slithervine. From here, there is a hidden passage on the right, and a ladder leading up. Going up leads to a dark room. There is an upper path and lower path, the lower one having a red block in the way, but both lead to the same place. On the right is a pair of Mr. Cheekys, a big heart, and a red chest holding the Mustache Wax. A ladder leads up to a room with another Mr. Cheeky and two dripping water spots. A pit on the right takes Wario to another portion of the dark room, where Wario can drop through two Semi-Solid Platforms into a large area, where he'll find a moneybag. The upper portion of this area has dripping water and two Mr. Cheekys (this is where the hidden passage near the Slithervine leads). The lower portion has a pool of water with several chandelier-like ice formations above it. By going through a passage in the pool on the left, Wario can find a red chest containing the Fancy Ramen Noodle Soup. The "ice chandeliers" function exactly like the chandeliers found in previous episodes and can be lowered by shooting them with Cosmic Wario. By hopping across them, Wario can reach the purple chest holding the Blue Crystal. The door next to the chest leads to a room with an icy slope and a ledge with a red chest. The chest contains the Seductive Lipstick. Going to the right leads to the upper-left corner of the large green room.
