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. | ||

Upon entering this new world, Wario inadvertently crash lands on Count Cannoli himself. The impact forces Cannoli to drop his wand. Wario, quick to snatch his first piece of treasure, immediately recovers the wand. Upon seeing this, Cannoli demands that Wario return his wand, as it is the source of his power. Wario is quick to inform Cannoli that he will never be getting his wand back, as Wario is having far too much fun waving it about in the air. However upon doing this, the wand begins to speak, revealing that the wand is a being of its own, known as Goodstyle. Goodstyle, with no harsh feelings towards Wario, informs him of the many capabilities that he possesses and how Wario, who Goodstyle refers to as "master", much to Wario's pleasure, can use these capabilities to his advantage. After a quick lesson about how to use him, Goodstyle transforms Wario into a master thief, the silent, but deadly [[Purple Wind]]. | Upon entering this new world, Wario inadvertently crash lands on Count Cannoli himself.

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. | ||
Terrormisu is then banished into an alternate dimension where she can threaten the world no longer. It is then revealed that Goodstyle is actually the first member of the Cannoli clan who enlisted Wario to tackle the foreboding threat of Terrormisu. Wario, feeling used and cheated, expresses his rage and discontent to Goodstyle. Goodstyle quickly informs Wario that through his accomplishments, he has earned the vast amount of treasure and riches that the Cannoli clan has accumulated throughout the generations. Wario agrees to this arrangement and the player is then treated to a clip of Wario being showered with treasure. Wario, content with the events that transpired, resolves to head back to the real world with his treasure. | Terrormisu is then banished into an alternate dimension where she can threaten the world no longer.

''Wario: Master of Disguise'' received generally mixed reception. Critics were generally complimentary of the creativity of the disguise mechanics, but criticized the unnecessary and imprecise implementation of the touch screen controls and the tedious and repetitive nature of the minigames. | ''Wario: Master of Disguise'' received generally mixed reception.
