For later titles in the series, the publishers and Office Create joined together to form Cooking Mama Limited, which was made exclusively to develop the Cooking Mama series. The menu includes simple snacks such as fried eggs, to full cordon bleu-style culinary masterpieces. Simply follow Mama's instructions to prepare tasty-looking meals with your DS touch screen; chopping vegetables, frying meat, rolling dough and finally arranging the food on the plate for the finishing touch. Playing in the main game enables players to earn bronze, silver and gold awards for their efforts based on the quality of their cooking and recipes can even be shared with up to four other people via DS Wi-Fi link up.

Cooking Mama is an original and fun title that boasts immediate ‘pick up and play’ action, to ensure that players of any age or skill level will be able to enjoy its wholesome wholemeal gameplay. A sixth main series game, Cooking Mama: Cookstar, was released for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 in 2021. If the funds have not yet been merged, you will have the option to do so during the purchase process.

In perhaps what was the most bizarre spin-off to the Cooking Mama series, Babysitting Mama adapted its mini-game mechanics to none other than childcare. Two new modes: Friends and Foods of the World , in which the player battles against 10 foreign friends in a cook-off and Friends and Food, in which the player battles head-to-head against someone in multiplayer mode.

Although there are a few clever mini-game ideas worth seeing, overall it will not hold your interest for long, which is disappointing since the whole concept of using the DS touch screen to control your way around the kitchen seems so natural.Get it right, however, and you can expect an overjoyed dinner guest and some high praise from Mama herself! Follow real recipes or experiment with your own combinations to create a culinary masterpiece with your stylus.
