Developed by Cooking Mama Limited (Office Create) and published by Taito in Japan, it kicked off one of DS's most recognizable minigame franchises: a succession of recipes broken into small stylus challenges -chopping, kneading, frying, plating- instantly graded by the voice of 'Mama,' as encouraging as she is unforgiving of mistakes.
Its simple, addictive formula turned it into a commercial phenomenon that went beyond the gamer core and reached a general audience, often people with no connection to video games; along with Brain Training, it remains one of the symbols of DS as a console with software for everyone.
