Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends

***Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends*** (or simply ***Cooking Mama 2*** in the UK) is the sequel to the Nintendo video game *Cooking Mama* and its Wii successor, Cooking Mama: Cook Off. The game has twice as many minigames as the original, all-new recipes, and a new multiplayer "Cook Off " mode.

The game also includes voice clips similar to the ones used in Cooking Mama: Cook Off, although not as commonly used. *Dinner with Friends* is the second *Cooking Mama* game to include desserts, the first being Cooking Mama: Cook Off for the Wii.

## Modes

* **Cook with Mama**: The basic, main mode where the player can practice and cook yummy dishes!
* **Let's Cook!**: A challenge mode where the player mustn't fail ANY steps and is not given any instructions between them. A friend will then try out the food and rate it.
* **Cooking Contest**: Complete challenges either on your own or with up to 4 people on wireless!
* **Change Design:** Customize various parts of the game including Mama's outfit/accessories, utensils, kitchenware, and the top screen look.
* **Write in Diary:** Review entries of photos taken across the game and customize with stamps and decals!
* **Options:** Review credits, clear data, and send demo to other DS consoles.

## Trophies

In this game, three pure gold trophies will be awarded to the player for completing certain tasks:

* Unlocking all friends in **Let's Cook!** mode
* Obtaining all collectables

## Trivia

* During the month of December, Christmas items are unlockable, including Mama dressed as Santa and a Christmas background.
* This game introduces the feature of choosing which utensil to use during a specific step. For example, when mixing ingredients the player could use chopsticks or a whisk. One utensil would finish the job quicker and net the player a bonus with the risk of failing the entire step. The other would require more physical handwork at the benefit of a risk-free result.
* There is a recipe called NONE that can be accessed via glitches, however, it only contains 20 "Chop It!" steps and 1 "Boil It!" step. Selecting any step will softlock the game.
