Cooking Mama: World Kitchen is a cooking simulation game for the Nintendo Wii. Players aim to prepare a variety of dishes by completing individual cooking tasks, such as chopping ingredients or cooking rice. Successfully finishing meals unlocks new recipes and characters, including family and friends, enhancing the gameplay experience and encouraging culinary creativity.
The goal of the game is to complete a meal of the player's choice. The player cooks in steps, for example, if making sushi, the player will cut the fish in one step, and do the rice in another. Every time a meal is finished, other meals are unlocked, and so are other characters, family and friends.
