[TAS] DS Wario: Master of Disguise by IsaGoodFriend in

[@jruler93]

This game has been a favorite of mine for a long time, and I actually just finished a playthrough of it on the Wii U VC earlier today. So this TAS is quite a lovely coincidence for me.

[@drumstickpickle6167]

I have a ds version for sale

[@masonhhoffman]

Been waiting for a tas of this for a long ass time

[@vashtanerada2731]

One of my favourite games, it's awesome!

We have Mario Odyssey at home.

Very cool run!

[@billlllllllllllll]

DAMN!

Wariovania

[@Austinator0630]

Wario Land 3 for the Gameboy Color was technically a metroidvania. Wario Land 3 is a continuation of the sub-genre Nintendo R&D1 started with Metroid.

this was a great tas to watch

[@CorprayTheWonderfulBoy2024]

I Love It!

Volcano level has the most risky strat. Good thing the Dragon is immune to Lava. 42:08 DEAD 58:01 DEAD TOO

Looks like it’s on purpose

good job isagoodfriend !

[@IsaGoodFriend]

Thank you!

[@KimeramonRocks]

Uh why is Wario the master of disguise? Is Wario even in the turtle club?

[@Austinator0630]

This game was originally called Phantom Thief: Wario the Seven in Japan. The Japanese version has lyrics in the title theme.

THIS JUST IN: Local Thief suffers from Head Trauma!

Too bad! Get the treasures!

my version had a keypad instead of a drawing letters

TASなら黄タイム赤タイム入らずにクリアできるのか、すげえ RTAやってみようかなあ

[@wonderguardstalker]

This game always gave me a headache because the visuals and music combined with the puzzles and drawing was very obnoxious. Definitely a stand out bummer purchase for me especially after Wario Land 4 and Wario World which I played all the time. Looked up Suzak to see they did GP Legend as well, another game I wasn’t crazy about but I loved GX too much not to try it lol

[@Austinator0630]

Suzak Inc was a shovelware company. That's why this game is unpolished.

[@ThaTickingTymeBomb]

Call me crazy but I’ve always loved this game and the music and such. Maybe it was because I played it on a 3ds instead of a ds or something idk

[@RADish-official]

This is the only canonical metroidvania in the entire Mario franchise, which is probably why Nintendo refuses to make a Mario metroidvania Nintendo please make a Mario metroidvania im begging you

[@chelvo56]

​@@Austinator0630Currently playing that one and it's really not. It's a puzzle platformer

[@Austinator0630]

​@@chelvo56Wario Land 3 was made by Nintendo R&D1, the same internal team responsible for Metroid.

[@IsaGoodFriend]

@@chelvo56 Having had played both games, I would consider Wario Land 3 more of a metroidvania than this game

[@Austinator0630]

@@IsaGoodFriend That's because Wario Land 3 was developed by Nintendo R&D1, the same internal team responsible for Metroid. Wario Land 3 essentially picked up where Super Metroid left off.

Lucky Gameplay.

its a tas, there is no luck

this game is carried entirely by its music and writing holy shit this game sucks lol

[@XanthinZarda]

So I think I see a few issues with this game. A) What? You want the classic Wario powers that have been around since Wario Land 2? Too bad, here's a bunch of clumsy costumes instead. B) Each costume is unlocked via an asinine minigame. C) Enforced stylus use. D) Nobody could be bothered with something as simple as an event flag or a ? button to make sure instructions don't repeat without need. E) The checkpoint mechanic could have been so much better, letting you select them as you see them. F) The fastest way though the game is by ignoring most of it. G) You can lose your disguises in stupid ways. H) Nothing about this feels very Wario. Maybe Crygor could have gotten a gaiden game.

[@ssg-eggunner]

I agree with most of those, as for A, I think the disguises idea is fine and as for H, I think it still feels like Wario (in the presentation and wackyness department that is)

[@Austinator0630]

@klaymodopostoffice9885 Nintendo has a long and terrible history of throwing there IPs to questionable companies. In a way, 2007's Wario: Master of Disguise exemplifies a weakness that will ultimately lead to Nintendo's undoing.

[@Austinator0630]

@klaymodopostoffice9885 The only redeeming qualities about the game is the story and the characters.
