Cooking Mama is a great game, and I think it definitely deserves more love. This is my first guide submitted, though not neccessarily the first written. Let's hear it for procrastination!

I ask that you only e-mail me regarding my FAQ, be it a question for me to add, an error you've noticed, FAQ theft, constructive criticism, etc. (This does not include recognition that I am indeed, a CHIXXOR1!!1!!11) For the subject line, put in 'RE: FAQ'.

I've picked up a few handy tips during the game. 1. Use the wrist strap. It may seem like a no-brainer, but seriously. This game can be very hard on your wrist. 2. The more sensitive, the better. I have the sensitivity of the Wiimote cranked for this game. It's easier if you don't have to smash the Wiimote as hard. Also, when doing stuff like cracking eggs or remove carefully, start off by lightly shaking the Wiimote. Always remember than lightly is better than heavily. 3. Take advantage of the practice option. I never used to be very good at stir frying or using the grill. But I practiced, and got the hang of it. 4. Try and be as accurate as possible. It'll earn you bonus points - handy for 2p and vs. AI cookoffs. 5. Keep an eye on the timer in the top right. If it begins to tick quicker, you don't have much time left. Focus on time more than accuracy. 6. Watch the smoke. For steps that require you to fan and flip (ie, the grilled bonito), watch for when it starts smoking. That's when it's done. 7. Serve as little as you like. With the 'serve as much as you like' step, you can do whatever you want. I usually click on a few pieces of food then click serve. Why not finish off with a nice healthy time bonus? Mama actually doesn't care how much you serve - it's just for fun. Same goes with decorating. 8. Color is key. When deep frying, watch for the food to turn an orange-ish color, then again to a darker orange. That's when you know it's done. Be quick to grab the finished food and drop it in the bottom pan, otherwise it'll drop. Also, keep an eye on your temperature bar - it rises quickly. | FAQs | Q: DOES MY SCORE AFFECT WHAT RECIPES I UNLOCK? A: No. You can get a Try Harder grade and a recipe will still be unlocked. Unlike the DS version of this game, recipes cannot be altered. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | 0.6 | | LEGAL STUFF | | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This FAQ is copyright 2007 to Kayli Ruck.

I hope you found this in-depth FAQ helpful. I'd appreciate any feedback you have, as this is my first published and complete FAQ. If you enjoyed cooking with Mama on the Wii, I'd suggest you try out the DS version. (I haven't yet got the chance to play it myself, but I imagine it's pretty good.) That's it from me though - see you next time!
