Play Wario - Master Of Disguise (eu) Online

Wario: Master of Disguise came out for the Nintendo DS in 2007, developed by Suzak and published by Nintendo. It was part of that experimental period on the DS where developers tried all sorts of things with the touch screen and dual displays. This game definitely fits right into that category, offering a side-scrolling adventure that feels quite different from the WarioWare titles people were more familiar with at the time.

You control Wario, who gets his hands on a magic wand that lets him transform into different costumes, each with a unique ability. Your main goal is to hunt down an ancient treasure by traveling through a series of themed episodes, which are essentially self-contained levels. The core loop involves navigating screen-by-screen environments, using the touch screen to draw symbols that activate your disguises, like drawing a zigzag for the thief form to turn invisible or a circle for the astronaut to float. You'll do a lot of platforming, solve environmental puzzles, and fight enemies using the specific attack of whatever disguise you're wearing. The pacing can be a bit stop-and-start as you frequently switch forms to progress, and some of the touch controls require precise input. Ultimately, it feels like a quirky, hands-on puzzle-platformer where your success hinges on quickly swapping between Wario's many ridiculous outfits.
