[edit] Gameplay
The player maneuvers Wario with either the directional-pad or the A, B, X and Y buttons. All other actions will be controlled by the touch-screen. To advance through levels, the player will be required to take advantage of various different forms of Wario.
Like its predecessor, Wario Land 4, Wario: Master of Disguise features health as opposed to invulnerability.
[edit] Forms
- Thief Wario: Faster jumping and running. Attacks directly. (To use, draw a check mark)
- Cosmic Wario: Jumps with longer hang time, as if in low-gravity. Attacks with lasers. (To use, draw a circle, starting from the bottom and going in clockwise direction, as if to make a space helmet)
- Arty Wario: Can draw doors and crates, but cannot move. (To use, draw a square, starting from the bottom-left corner and going in clockwise direction. Once it's a square, continue drawing from the bottom-left to the top-right corner.)
- Dragon Wario: Breathes fire, can be used to destroy fire blocks. (To use, draw a line diagonally down and left, then go right, as if to make a tail)
- Genius Wario: Can use certain mechanical objects (Including an extending boxing glove he carries with him), and is able to see objects invisible to the naked eye. (To use, draw a line up, then right and curve down and left to form a "P". Continue the curving until it gets to the top of the P again.)
- Sparky Wario: Can generate electricity, to light up dark places. (To use, draw a reversed thunderbolt.)
- Captain Wario: Allows Wario to travel through water and lava with no hindrance, and shoot torpedoes. (To use, draw half a circle, starting at the top and going clockwise.)
- Wicked Wario: Allows Wario to fly by blowing into the DS mic. (To use, draw a triangle.)
[edit] Storyline
This game starts out with Wario sitting back in house, watching his television. As he flips through the channels, he comes upon a show about a thief, Silver Zephyr, who can wield various disguises. Jealous and infuriated of this character, Wario quickly creates a helmet that allows him to enter the T.V. show. He steals the thief's disguise changing wand, Goodstyle, and starts looting the ocean liner that the Silver Zephyr had been about to clear out. The Silver Zephyr himself, now known only as the powerless Count Cannoli, gives chase, and eventually catches up with Wario, only to be defeated. He attempts to make an deal with Wario, in an attempt to retrieve Goodstyle, but then breaks the pact when he discovers that a piece of the Wishstone, an ancient tablet that grants wishes, is being carried by the ship. Wario gets to it first, and decides to track down the rest of the pieces.Later he meets a third thief named Carpaccio who is also seeking the wishstone.after almost dying in a volcano, wario meets a girl named Tiaramisu who really is a demon sealed inside the Wishstone but she doesent tell you that until you beat the game where Wario finds out that Goodstyle is actually the first of all Cannoli´s and that Wario get´s all the treasures the Cannoli clan have but when he leaves the show, Wario doesent find the money and treasures because the helmet only teleports him.FIN
