I found the hardest times to be when I had to move the stylus at the same speed as a whisk, and I'd get to a great momentum and then mess up so I would have to start slow again, limiting my chances for getting a Bonus Item. The controls for each step are generally good. This is also available in Wi-Fi multiplayer. However, lack of in-game instructions on this mode made it really perplexing for awhile, and I preferred Cook with Mama and Let's Cook!Ĭooking Contest is a mode that is great for working on certain steps you might have trouble with, such as cracking eggs or catching toast. Let's Match! is the third mode, in which you select two ingredients from a choice of six to create your own recipe. The second mode is Let's Cook!, where Mama introduces you to eight friends and family members who request that you make a dish of your choice, then grade you on how well you did. These are generally along the lines of "Circle the apple's stem to remove it, then touch the chopsticks at the right time to push them in." Once you complete a recipe, you unlock a new one be aware that skipping one recipe (in my case, the dreaded pickles) prevents you from unlocking all of the ones that are locked.

The first of the cooking modes is Cook with Mama, in which Mama gives you instructions before you perform each step. It sports four different cooking modes, one shopping mode, and three decorating modes. The latest game in the series is quite possibly the best yet. As of May 2009, the series has sold more than four million units in the U.S. Originating on the DS in 2006, Mama has had four DS games, including this new entry, two Wii games, and an iPhone port. Cooking Mama 3: Shop and Chop is the latest DS entry in the great-selling Cooking Mama series.
