Wario finds the lost items by answering some [[Sphinx Simulator|riddles]] and returns them to Sphinx. Wario reveals he is a thief, so Sphinx doesn't want to give him information. However, because Wario helped him, he gives him a chance. If Wario answers his three riddles right, Sphinx tells him about the Wishstone. If Wario answers all wrong, Sphinx shoots him and makes him start for the last Save Point.
 
If Wario answers all right, Sphinx is shocked to see Wario answer them all, and tells him to go to [[Sneezemore Cave]]. Wario then leaves the museum and goes to the cave. In the museum, what Sphinx does is ask a riddle to guests visiting the museum, just for fun.


After receiving the treasures, the Sphinx tells Wario and Goodstyle that a "[[Carpaccio|guy in a suit]]" was taking boxes out of the museum. However, after Wario inadvertently reveals that he is a thief, the Sphinx refuses to let him leave unless he solves three riddles. After Wario correctly answers the riddles, the Sphinx tells him to leave quickly before the guards find out he let him go. Before they leave, Goodstyle asks where the man in a suit was headed. The Sphinx says that he mentioned a "cave hidden by a perpetual blizzard". Goodstyle deduces that he is referring to [[Sneezemore Cave]], giving Wario his next destination.
