Chef (Game)

Chef is a Game and Watch game in the Wide Screen series released on September 8, 1981. You play as a chef in this one, bouncing food with your frying pan.
==Gameplay==
In Chef, you control a chef who flips various pieces of food, which vary from a sausage to a fish, into the air with a pan. Failure to keep the food airborne allows a mouse to steal the food again, which will cost you one of three lives. Losing all three lives ends the game. A cat will poke the left piece of food, which holds it in place for a short time and makes it hard to guess when the piece of food will be flippable. As the game progresses, it gets faster. In Game A, you flip three items of food at a time, while Game B has the player flip four pieces of food at the same time.
==Legacy==
Chef is referenced in Mr. Game & Watch's moveset through his neutral special, Chef. This move has Mr. Game and Watch hold out a frying pan and flips bacon out of the frying pan. These projectiles move slowly through the air and trajectory is controlled by tilting the stick forward or backward. The food can be used to cancel attack animations of your opponents and can be used as a zoning tool. It also can prevent aerial approaches and edgeguards against opponents with predictable recoveries. If a character gets hit by the pan itself, it deals slightly more damage and deals flame damage. It also can semi-spike.
Flat Zone 2 and Flat Zone X also features the setting and characters of Chef as part of the stage layout. 
===Remakes and Rereleases===
Chef was recreated for Game & Watch Gallery for Game Boy and for Game & Watch Gallery 2 for Game Boy Color and Game & Watch Gallery 4 for Game Boy Advance.

It was also recreated for a DSiWare game released on July 29th, 2009 in Japan, March 22nd 2010 for the United States, and March 26th, 2010 for Europe.
