The main mode, the player has a choice of what dish to cook, depending on what they've unlocked.
After each dish, you are awarded with a bronze, sliver or gold, depending on the average score of each mini-game. To dish may contain playing one or more mini-games. Then you continue to the next stage of the dish. An angry anime-styled Mama with flames erupting from her eyes appears with a caption saying ' Don't worry, Mama will fix it'. If the player makes a serious mistake, or time runs out and they've got no where on the mini-game, its considered a failure.
Players may have to use the top screen for guidance on the task in hand. To perform the task you do such things as quickly draw lines to taping a button or ingredient.
These happen during mini-games to make the dish which can last as little as 10 seconds.Įach mini-game represents a different activity, weather mixing, frying, chopping or finalizing the dish. You follow the instructions of Mama, who will tell you to do such tasks as chop vegetables, chop meat, flip food and arrange the final dish using the stylus. In Cooking Mama, you are tasked with cooking over 70 dishes using the DS's touch screen.
