The only neat fact I know about Cooking Mama is that the 3DS games reuse Cooking Mama 4's splash screen audio, you can even hear them getting cut off on saying four if you listen carefully
That one reviewer that said that it's obviously made for kids and parents is so wrong. I remember one day in elemantary school we had an open day which means we didn't have any classes and because a lot of kids just skipped out they combined us with the other kids and we were allowed to bring our eletronics and this one girl had cooking mama 2 and she couldn't for the life of her do the ice cream recipe without failing. The ice cream recipe, where you just slide the cone and get the scoops on it 😭 She was pretty shocked when I did it for her and got a 100% lmao cooking mama is not an easy game for everyone
Watching Ichigo struggle in the latter half of the games just made me laugh so much. Imagine everytime as a child your mom made you take out the trash even after you tell her about the cars, crows, etc that are actively trying to kill you
You should do a video on the "style savvy/style boutique" games or the "imagine" games (there were way too many of them!) . I feel like the DS was truly a girls girl. It had so many good girly games. "Imagine: fashion designer" was my childood!
Imagine: figure skating was honestly so difficult. Even later on as a teen when I tried to get through the competitions, I still failed 🥹 It's hard to make 3 circles at one time with a lil DS pen
@@kiona.tthat’s why I always made my own custom performances instead of going with the ones the game sets for you - the one with the triangles was the one that I found the easiest to do quickly so I always added it in lmao
The "Imagine" series is a weird one, because it bundles together a lot of games that have nothing to do with each other, aside from being targeted at girls. Some were localisation of preexisting Japanese games, they tended to have 2D art, intricate (and weird) plotlines, and generally were higher on the quality scale of the series. Others were made "in house", I think, they tended to be kind of shitty mini games collections, with rather ugly 3D art and not that much in terms of progression and difficulty scale (many were generally really easy, but sometimes, you'll get a stupidly hard minigame for no reason). I pointed the two ends, but it is a spectrum, there were just so many games, the quality really varied.
the first cooking mama game could definitely be pretty difficult to figure out. i have all gold (except for this stupid recipe that requires you to circle rice but you cant circle too much or too little. hate that step) but it took me forever to figure out some things. like for the spaghetti where you have to saute? when it tells you to add the ketchup, DO NOT ADD IT. keep flipping the pan until you have 1/4 of the time left, and then add the ketchup. if you add it too early, it'll burn no matter how much you keep flipping the pan, so you have to add it in later than it tells you
glad to see that somebody else owns the terrifying cooking mama baby plush. i bought it because one looked weird and silly. same reason i bought science papa
I’ve played Cooking Mama Cuisine! I get Apple Arcade included with my phone plan, otherwise I’d never have known it existed 😂 I really enjoyed it, you pick ingredients and it’s a surprise what recipe you create if you’ve never used that ingredient combo before. Every day of the week has different ingredients and recipes, and they included holiday recipes during holiday seasons. I had a bunch of fun with it ❤
Tip for peeling eggs, use a spoon! Crack the egg a little, get a spoon, put the pressure towards the shell and go around the egg. Not sure if I explained that well but it's such a time saver and usually the eggs come out nicely :)
I remember the hight of the Cooking Mama craze. My first DS lite was the lime green one bundled with personal trainer: cooking, and one of the reasons I chose that model was because I wanted a game with my new console, and I thought it was cooking mama or cooking mama adjacent lol. I still have that console, and even had my own fun with the pack in title. Never actually got Cooking Mama on DS, but did play it on my sister's ipod.
I still remember getting cooking mama for wii for Christmas and crying for two days straight because it was my dream and I didn’t expect my parents to surprise me with it
Wasn't one of the big talking points about Cookstar that it was causing severe heating issues for the Switch? I remember that was how rumors about bitcoin/cryptomining started for the game.
I used to love these games. I played them all the time! But all the cooking games were very similar and a lot of the mini games became easy, while a few were nearly impossible to get a perfect score on.
I’m not ashamed that I learnt how to cook by playing cooking mama games 😅 My real mama just mainly made frozen food so I had to learn from somewhere and some recipes are ingrained in my head with the hands doing the thing and that’s how I remember how to do it 😂
I played practically every cooking mama game released at the time of my childhood and early teens. My favorite of the regular series is dinner with friends and my favorite spin-off is crafting mama.
I had 20 bucks to spend and went into a store and they had 2 for 20 on select DS games. Mostly shovelware. I got this and Picross, both were a great discovery
I can't believe I watched roughly two hours of someone playing the WHOLE Cooking Mama franchise (yes I did watch the spin-offs video, and I actually watch it before this one lol). Honestly, it was ALL worth it. I loved the humor!
I had Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends and I have so many happy memories! I remember waiting for my boyfriend to finish teaching karate and sitting there at the dojo with that game to keep me company. It was such a lifesaver and made the evenings fly by.
OH YES!! I’ve always been so curious about the Cooking Mama games, and even since I found your channel, I’ve been hoping you’d cover them one day and see your takes on them! Thank you Liss ✌🏻✨
I grew up playing science papa because I wasnt huge on the cooking games. I LOVED IT. I have no idea how much of the motion controls holds up, and I know I struggled greatly with the brush scrubbing sections. I'd kill to see you try it out. They aparently had copyrighted "Math Papa" too, but I've no clue if they ended up making that.
I grew up loving the cooking mama games, on the ds. I remember struggling on dishes lol ^^ look forward to seeing more videos on games ^^ keep your fans updated too lol
can never have too much cooking mama, i love cooking so much so these games are definetly for me except for babysitting mama, im not too great with babies
I never got to play cooking mama besides the weird thanksgiving online version, if anyone knows. However, I had crafting mama and I wish more people talked about it!
Im glad mamas friends got names over time. Otherwise i could see tons of the I have English friends & African Friends too" memes and they would be hilarious ngl
I saw the issues you were having with this vid on Twitter, seems like cooking mama wanted you to WORK for this vid just like she worked in each of these games. Edit after watching: even though a lot of these microphone features seem annoying nowadays (ex: blowing on the mic to cool it down, using voice prompts in nintendogs, etc.) it's actually really cool to see how the game developers tried their best to incorporate all features of the DS into gameplay. Even modern consoles with mics don't do that nowadays
PART TWO…. The VERY strange Cooking Mama spinoffs:
ruclips.net/video/M84kOZOP69Q/видео.html
mama was a hard working woman and we love that. she raised me fr.
fr
shoutout to mama for giving me food ideas when i was in the depths of horrible eating habits
OMG SUCH A GOOD IDEA
WAIT NO BECAUSE LITERALLY AS A COLLEGE STUDENT ITS WHERE ALL MY RECIPE IDEAS COME CROM
LISS you forgot to say "allegedly" in the legal drama section!!! Planet Entertainment is gonna live in your walls now. Should have played Lawyer Mama
NOOOOO
@@lissthelass plz play ninokuni on switch I swear u will like it and no one on RUclips covers it well 🫶
Miss Liss, if you can, please look into the 'Style Savvy' games as well for the DS, especially if you're into fashion!
THIS!!!!!!
Loved those games
YES OMGGG
I LOVEEEE STYLE SAVVY
pls pls pls
I remember rage quitting Cook Off… the motion control was killer. I never looked Mama in the face again.
The only neat fact I know about Cooking Mama is that the 3DS games reuse Cooking Mama 4's splash screen audio, you can even hear them getting cut off on saying four if you listen carefully
The shopping one really captures what it’s like to shop with social anxiety 😂

Liss cooking for 1hr while cooking with mama is a combo I didn't know could work so well haha.
I have fond memories of this franchise and still say "don't worry Mama will help you!" often. This video was a blast to watch! Thank you! 🍤🥘🥞
the first cooking mama game could definitely be pretty difficult to figure out. i have all gold (except for this stupid recipe that requires you to circle rice but you cant circle too much or too little. hate that step) but it took me forever to figure out some things.
like for the spaghetti where you have to saute? when it tells you to add the ketchup, DO NOT ADD IT. keep flipping the pan until you have 1/4 of the time left, and then add the ketchup. if you add it too early, it'll burn no matter how much you keep flipping the pan, so you have to add it in later than it tells you
Imagine Cooking Mama as a super smash character XD
glad to see that somebody else owns the terrifying cooking mama baby plush. i bought it because one looked weird and silly. same reason i bought science papa
1 hr liss the lass video we are eating again on this fine monday lets go
I'm pretty sure cooking mama is the reason I feel inadequate doing basic tasks
You should try playing all the Papa's games! Like Papa's Freezeria etc.! 😍
I’ve played Cooking Mama Cuisine! I get Apple Arcade included with my phone plan, otherwise I’d never have known it existed 😂
I really enjoyed it, you pick ingredients and it’s a surprise what recipe you create if you’ve never used that ingredient combo before. Every day of the week has different ingredients and recipes, and they included holiday recipes during holiday seasons. I had a bunch of fun with it ❤

"I'm hot I don't know anything about this stuff" tea and I'm stealing that phrase lmao
Liss the mama! 👩🍳 I only played cook off and it got tedious very quickly. 😅 Props for going through all of them!
DS Cooking Mama has some GORGEOUS pixel art
I SCREAM ETERNALLY WHEN LISS UPLOADS
I remember the hight of the Cooking Mama craze. My first DS lite was the lime green one bundled with personal trainer: cooking, and one of the reasons I chose that model was because I wanted a game with my new console, and I thought it was cooking mama or cooking mama adjacent lol. I still have that console, and even had my own fun with the pack in title. Never actually got Cooking Mama on DS, but did play it on my sister's ipod.
I had dreams of getting that lime green DS lite! Literally woke up with my arms in the air like I was playing a DS 😂
I still remember getting cooking mama for wii for Christmas and crying for two days straight because it was my dream and I didn’t expect my parents to surprise me with it
I’m a guy and I enjoyed cooking mama cook off for the Wii, probably inspired my love for cooking.
The Cookstar release debacle was WILD to experience in real time lmao.
Wasn't one of the big talking points about Cookstar that it was causing severe heating issues for the Switch? I remember that was how rumors about bitcoin/cryptomining started for the game.
46:25 “spits out drink” lolll wasn’t expecting that 😂
there is no way that there are that many people in need of websites that square space is making enough money after paying for all the ads haha
YOU HAVE TO TRY PLAYING ALL PAPA'S GAMES !! 😈 (ex papa's wingeria, pizzeria, burgeria, sushiria, scooperia, and MOREEEEE) can't wait to see u struggle
I remember playing gardening mama on my DS and being so pissed off that I couldn't shoot the sapling on the pot
I used to love these games. I played them all the time! But all the cooking games were very similar and a lot of the mini games became easy, while a few were nearly impossible to get a perfect score on.
What a coincidence i was just reminiscing about cooking mama and WOW my fave posts ALL of them??? No way 🥰🥰🥰
I’m not ashamed that I learnt how to cook by playing cooking mama games 😅
My real mama just mainly made frozen food so I had to learn from somewhere and some recipes are ingrained in my head with the hands doing the thing and that’s how I remember how to do it 😂
I played practically every cooking mama game released at the time of my childhood and early teens. My favorite of the regular series is dinner with friends and my favorite spin-off is crafting mama.
Crafting mama was one of my favorites!
16:55 Ah yes, the Kingdom Hearts method of game numbering.
Girl you GOTTA play Fields of Mistria if you haven't already, it's so much fun!!
not afraid to admit i played every single one of these as a kid… obsession is an understatement
I still have my 3DS and will sometimes play Cooking Mama 3 when I’m bored. This video has made me wanna take it out and play it again.
I had 20 bucks to spend and went into a store and they had 2 for 20 on select DS games. Mostly shovelware. I got this and Picross, both were a great discovery
thank u so much for this im going thru a rough time and i love ur videos and have been super into cooking mama lately!
I can't believe I watched roughly two hours of someone playing the WHOLE Cooking Mama franchise (yes I did watch the spin-offs video, and I actually watch it before this one lol). Honestly, it was ALL worth it. I loved the humor!
i BEG u to do the apple arcade game and knock offs as a video!!! this was so nostalgic
Crafting mama is my favorite one
I love love LOVE your longer videos!!
I had Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends and I have so many happy memories! I remember waiting for my boyfriend to finish teaching karate and sitting there at the dojo with that game to keep me company. It was such a lifesaver and made the evenings fly by.
Your new camera angle and setup is SO cozy! Can’t wait to watch the video!
OH YES!! I’ve always been so curious about the Cooking Mama games, and even since I found your channel, I’ve been hoping you’d cover them one day and see your takes on them! Thank you Liss ✌🏻✨
You know it's a good day when liss the lass uploads a new video.
Liss, I would love to see you play games in the Papa's-verse! Papa's Freezeria, Bakeria, Scooperia, etc...
The fire face scared me growing up
I hope mama made it to the pink pony club after all these years… 🫶
I love the style of this video and the editing was amazing! Fantastic work :)
YESSS COOKING MAMA 5 WAS MY SHTTT
your home looks so cozy 🤎☕🍪
YESSSS this is the perfect pick-me-up for my rough workday 💕
I never knew about most of these!! I was obsessed with gardening mama as a kid
I grew up playing science papa because I wasnt huge on the cooking games. I LOVED IT. I have no idea how much of the motion controls holds up, and I know I struggled greatly with the brush scrubbing sections. I'd kill to see you try it out. They aparently had copyrighted "Math Papa" too, but I've no clue if they ended up making that.
Lisss this video is so good 🫶 love the shots & editing
get in nerds we're gonna watch the new liss the lass video
because they are really freaking good, I love them
I took a while to get round to watching thus because it came out within 24 hours of the Burback brothers video on cooking mama, but im glad i did
was literally just about to see if Liss uploaded 😳 love you, queen!!
i always think u deserve SO many more subscribers. your videos are made so well and ur so relatable as a creator :)
You make great videos, you have a great personality.
dinner with friends was the one i had growing up too it was So Good
8:43 real asf!!! I feel you
That was some effort put into here, keep up the good work as a long-time Cooking Mama fan
I grew up loving the cooking mama games, on the ds. I remember struggling on dishes lol ^^ look forward to seeing more videos on games ^^ keep your fans updated too lol
I remember when I first heard about this video (a minute ago).
I loved cooking mama! I remember playing crafting mama so vividly I loved that one (not as much as I love your videos ofc)
2:59 I chuckled like a kid!
Would love to see you play “Fashion Dreamer” on Switch, especially if you like fashion and dress up! Love from Canada💘
Handheld games = a lot more Liss on camera = awesome.
played enough cooking mama recipes for this to be in my recommendations
I loved Dinner with Friends! I'm ashamed to say I still have it 😂 it was the one I grew up with and definitely the best!
I love the 3ds!! So glad youre making 3ds content :)
idk if you take recommendations but you should totally try some of the imagine DS games! party planner was my favourite
can never have too much cooking mama, i love cooking so much so these games are definetly for me
except for babysitting mama, im not too great with babies
I‘m so happy right now to be blessed once again with a good video from Liss🎀💖
I wish they made more new games!!! Crafting Mama was like my favorite game ever!!!
you have to try the mobile ones on an ipad with a pencil. they are like the most precise and best versions of cooking mama in my opinion!
I never got to play cooking mama besides the weird thanksgiving online version, if anyone knows. However, I had crafting mama and I wish more people talked about it!
i really liked cooking mama cuisine as a mobile game :) you should try it out if you make a video about the spinoff games
So much nostalgia with the original Cooking Mama and Cooking Mama 2 🥹 Might have to dig out my DS again!
Jadain effect ❤😂
Im glad mamas friends got names over time. Otherwise i could see tons of the I have English friends & African Friends too" memes and they would be hilarious ngl
hiii miss lisss!!!! I hope ur doing well and you made my Monday wayyy better:)
Liss! Play Fields of Mistria!! Also My Sims when they release it on the switch
Gardening mama was a hit with me when I was 13
I saw the issues you were having with this vid on Twitter, seems like cooking mama wanted you to WORK for this vid just like she worked in each of these games.
Edit after watching: even though a lot of these microphone features seem annoying nowadays (ex: blowing on the mic to cool it down, using voice prompts in nintendogs, etc.) it's actually really cool to see how the game developers tried their best to incorporate all features of the DS into gameplay. Even modern consoles with mics don't do that nowadays
With Cookstar they did update and optimize it a bit so it's better than it was at launch which is why it doesn't seem as bad as people said it was
next video should be you playing the Trauma Center series, please!
Can lie never owned cooking mama but I played through it crazily
need to see you play crafting mama 🙏🙏 and hoping to see fields of mistria too!! 💞💞
i love how liss has a really nice looking couch behind her and shes not sitting on it😭
