Sphinx is a character in Wario: Master of Disguise. He is found in the Smithsnorian Museum. When Wario meets him, he says that because the museum is closed that day, he cannot ask Wario riddles. Wario tells him that he is looking for a Wishstone. Sphinx knows what it is, and tells Wario that if he finds his three items he had lost for centuries, he can give Wario and Goodstyle information.

Wario finds the lost items by answering some 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.

In-game description

The Sphinx works at the museum, but spends all of his time goofing off and asking dumb riddles of everyone he sees. Plus he never pulls OT.
