I decided to create this guide upon finding no
reliable sources for recipes. 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'm reluctantly putting up my e-mail for contact
purposes regarding my FAQ. 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'. Thanks.

| TIPS |

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.

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.

So, that was it. 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!
