In Wario: Master of Disguise, Wario decides to hit it big after watching a TV show about a master thief. He makes a device called the Telmet, which he then uses to enter his TV and take the show for himself. With gameplay and an art style that departed from the normal look and feel of Wario games, it was met with mediocre reviews.

Hmmm...
To do:
  • Get the rest of the unused stuff up, rewrite some of the text in the article, and split certain findings into their own pages.
  • Add Images to the regional difference regarding the museum quiz's

Debug Menu

A debug menu exists in all versions of the game, and can be accessed by using the below Action Replay codes.

Hold L when the screens fades to black, and you’ll be taken to the Debug Menu. Pressing Select will also instantly bring it up, though it may lock up the game depending on where you are. Do NOT pause and unpause the game, as doing so will freeze the game if attempting to bring up the menu. It's advised to enter the Debug Menu from the title screen when first booting up the game. If the top screen fails to display when going back to the Debug Menu, press L+Down, then pick a screen in SUB to fix it.

When you’re in the Debug Menu, L and R buttons switches between pages (MAIN, SUB, DS), Up and Down on the D-Pad selects the screen. Left and Right reveals the next or previous set of screens/levels, and A will take you to the desired screen/level. A few parameters can also be set, like SCRIPT MAIN, SUB, and ENTRANCE. B toggles SCRIPT MAIN. Y toggles SUB. X sets the entrance, though it's unknown what exactly this option does.

Alternatively, use this less complicated version:

Just hold Select whenever the screens fade out to reach the Debug Menu. These codes only work well in the menus and screens, they have no effect in-game.

There’s the following strings of text in the Debug Menu; "WARIO THE PHANTOM THIEF" which is possibly the game's working title, and a build date.

Misc. Debug Screens

WMOD rankshopdebug.png

Rank Shop: Sets whether any of the disguises is in possession. A button sets the highlighted disguise to "on", pressing A one more time upgrades it. B takes away the disguise.


WMOD itemshopdebug.png

Item Shop: Sets what items the player has obtained. The A button adds the selected item to the status screen at top, B removes it.

Unused Tiles

Please elaborate.
Having more detail is always a good thing.
Specifically: Explain them in more detail.

Tilesets belonging to an early level (MAP256, specifically) exist in the game.

Unused Graphics

Acactussayswhat?
Please elaborate.
Having more detail is always a good thing.
Specifically: Detail these better.

Various graphics also exist inside the ROM, completely unused.

Picture Frames

Selecting EKAKI in the Debug Menu, and using any of the below codes will display a set of graphics that never appear anywhere else in the game. Interestingly, they seem to be early designs for the treasure pictures in Wario's coffee table book. The first picture doesn't have any description, and instead shows garbled tiles. Touch the garbled icons that blink at the bottom of the touch screen to shift between the images.

Nose Picking Wario

WMOD wario nosepick2.png WMOD wario nosepick.png

A image of Wario picking his nose. Note that this was not extracted from the games internal files, but found by extensive sprite hacking. The right image shows what it looks like when all parts are joined. They can be viewed on the title screen with the below Action Replay codes.

Ribbons

WMOD ribbons-parts.png

Graphics for ribbons can be found as well. They all go unused in the final game, but can be seen by using the below codes and selecting EKAKI in the Debug Menu. The ribbon parts in the above image have been cleaned and grouped together in one set for better viewing, as every part were originally separated along with some garbage tiles around them.

Like the above unused image, the ribbons all come in chunks. By piecing them together, they form the ribbons as seen in the below images.

ほねつきにく bone with meat (such as a rib)
バギー buggy

Wario

Hmmm...
To do:
Get Wario's other unused sprites ripped and animated, and get them up on the page. Also get the other unused sprites and document them, and the frames of that nose thing with glasses performing.

There's quite a bunch of them in here. Use the Action Replay codes below to see them for Wario's respective forms ingame.

WMOD Nose Jump.gif

The nose-like creature from the unused minigame W59_09_01 has unused animations for dancing on stage and winning. The only way to see them is to modify the unused minigame's setup pointer address and replace it with the setup from Roach Smash.

Unused Music/Sounds

SSEQs

A number of tracks are unused in the game. For the SSEQ music, use these codes to listen to them in the game.

An early version of the final Wishstone music. Internal filename is BGM_CHARA_ETC01.

Streams

These streams remain inside the ROM, but are unused. They can be heard ingame by using the codes below.

Replace XX with the values that correspond to the below tracks:

Unused Music

Track ID: 01

An unused short jingle. Internal filename is STR_SCOOP.

Unused Music 2

Track ID: 03

Sounds like a jingle that would have played in the scene where Wario demonstrates his Telmet, but is never used. Internal filename is STR_OP_03B.

Unused Music 3

Track ID: 0C

Perhaps an game over jingle. For whatever reason, it ended up being unused. Internal filename is STR_GAMEOVER.

Sounds

Hmmm...
To do:
Get up the unused sound effects, and document them regarding their uses and so on.

A whole load of unused sound effects has been left in the game as well. The sounds are categorized by the folder they are located at in the ROM. They can be listened to ingame by using the below Action Replay code to replace all the sound effects with the value specified by 120683AC at the end of the code (EU only atm.):

The SFX_SYSTEM folder has a few unused sound effects, the four last ones supposedly being for some kind of scrapped mission mode:


Sound ID: 07

The same piece of sound as the one at 06, but in reverse.


Mission Completed

Sound ID: 0E


Mission Failed

Sound ID: 0F


"Mission Complete"

Sound ID: 10

"Hahaha! Wario!"

Sound digit: 35


"Ha!"

Sound digit: 39

Unused Levels/Screens

Hmmm...
To do:
Get screenshots of the unused levels, document them here, and detail them.

By using the Debug Menu codes, various unused levels, minigames, and screens can be found. The names for the levels here are derived from the Debug Menu.


WMOD betacredits.png

STAFFROLL01: A unfinished staff roll screen with Wario sitting on his sofa watching TV. This screen never appears in the final game.


WMOD betaminigame1.png

W59_09_01: A minigame with a nose wearing glasses standing on a platform. The goal of this minigame could have been that the player would touch the arrows with the stylus (the arrow graphics are not visible for some reason), changing the color of the lights. The player would then tap the "OK" icon and the creature would start performing.

There's unused animations of the creature dancing and hopping in place. It's unknown what the win and lose conditions would be due to the unfinished nature of the minigame.


WMOD betaminigame2.png

W50_01_02: Unused Paint Picture minigame. Unlike the above unused minigame, this one is actually playable.

W50_01_03: Same as W50_01_02.

W50_01_04: Same as W50_01_03.


WMOD flagshopdebug.png

FLAG SHOP: Blanked out, with a single “!” in the top left corner. While it is unknown what this screen was used for due to the code having been removed, it's possible this screen would have let developers set flags that change things in the game, like progress, treasures obtained, and maybe even more debugging functions.


WMOD MAP256 Area.png

MAP256: An unused level with graphics not used anywhere else. Only the view can be moved around. This level is unplayable in its current state. Trying to make it playable via hacking only makes the level layout become a garbled mess.

The area normally crashes when trying to select it in the Debug Menu. Using any of the below codes fixes it.

Version Code
JP 220911F4 00000005

US 2209286C 00000005

EU 22091B54 00000005


WMOD EKAKI.png

EKAKI: Maybe a screen used for promoting the game. Some Japanese symbol graphics which scrolls at the bottom are glitched for some reason.


WMOD earlytitle.png

TITLE: Early title screen with an earlier model of Wario. Touching the blinking nose makes the top screen switch to a screen explaining how to move Wario, using the stylus in gameplay and such.


WMOD W10 03 08.png

W10_03_08: The room used for the cutscenes and the final (and easy) phase of the Terrormisu boss, with a few differences; located in the upper left part of the room is Terrormisu along with two Wishstone pieces. At the bottom left part of the room is the door that looks like it can be entered. Even if the player has the Crimson Gem the door still won't open. The door always appear in front of Wario.


WMOD W10 01 02.png

W10_01_02: Unused room that would connect between W10_01_01 and W10_01_03. Could be possible that it was to contain some enemies or treasure. The entrances on both sides of the room don't work. Strangely the entrances DO work in the likewise unused W30_01_02 room.


WMOD W00 01 45.png

W00_01_45: Unused scene of Wario in front of his TV, with smoke coming out of the screen. This screen comes after W00_01_44, so this would likely have followed the previous scene. In the final version the screens simply fade to black with a "The End" graphic followed next by the Staff Credits, so this screen is never used.

The upper screen for this scene does exist, but selecting it from the Debug Menu in retail versions will freeze the game. It doesn't freeze in the US Kiosk demo though. For retail versions, the below codes fixes the X00_01_45 entry in SUB.
