New recipes include corn dogs, cherry pie, and gourmet cupcakes. The gyroscope gives players new abilities such as cracking eggs, flipping pans, balancing plates, and grating cheese. Boasting 60 recipes and over 200 mini games, Cooking Mama 4 utilizes the familiar DS touch screen feature along with the new gyroscope feature of the 3DS. Various steps in the cooking process are mimicked through simple mini games such as chopping, stirring, kneading, and tossing.
