'''''Wario: Master of Disguise''''' is a [[Genre#Platform|platform]] game developed by [[Suzak]] for the [[Nintendo DS]]. It is the first ''[[Wario (franchise)|Wario]]'' platform title since ''[[Wario World]]'', and the seventh ''Wario'' platform game overall. This game returns to the franchise's traditional 2D style, as ''Wario World'' was designed in 3D. It is also the franchise's first and only ''Wario'' platform title launched for the Nintendo DS. The game sees [[Wario]] getting sucked into a television show, where he seeks to overtake a famous {{wp|Gentleman thief|phantom thief}}, [[Count Cannoli]], as the world's greatest thief. He receives the ability to transform into eight different disguises, each one serving a unique purpose for specific levels. The Japanese title refers to Wario's transformations, with the exception of the first one: [[Thief Wario]], as this disguise is his standard form.

Through this new persona, Wario begins a race around the world, along with rival Count Cannoli to collect all the pieces of the infamous [[Wishstone]], believed to grant the wishes of the one who possesses it in its entirety. Throughout their adventures, Wario and Cannoli also run into master thief [[Carpaccio]], who is also in search of the Wishstone fragments. Wario, whose wish is to own all the treasures and riches of the world, stops at nothing and manages to gather all five pieces of the Wishstone through the help of Count Cannoli (who recognizes Wario as the superior criminal) and the mysterious masked maiden known only as Tiaramisu. Wario, Cannoli, and Tiaramisu manage to assemble the Wishstone in its entirety, only to have Tiaramisu reveal to them a secret. It is revealed that Tiaramisu is actually a demon known as [[Terrormisu]] who was trapped within the Wishstone, and through its reassembling was now free to reign over this world. This doesn't settle well with Wario, who is furious about the Wishstone not granting his wish for treasure. In a fit of rage, Wario and Goodstyle take Terrormisu on and after a heated battle, emerge victorious.

This tab contains a record of all treasures collected throughout the game. It is divided into four unspecified categories. When the player taps on a treasure, its value and description are displayed. Depending on their value, the treasures can be represented with a tin, bronze or silver medal. Wishstone pieces also appear as treasures and are represented with gold medals.

This tab features a collection of enemies that have been defeated at least once. The player can tap on an enemy to read a description on it and see how many times they have defeated it. The list spreads on twenty pages; each boss is dedicated their own page, except for Stuffy the 64th who is shown alongside Fluffy the Dolphin.
