Cooking Mama: World Kitchen (クッキングママ2 たいへん!!ママはおおいそがし! Kukkingu Mama 2: Taihen! Mama wa Ooisogashi!) is the fourth game in the Cooking Mama series developed by Cooking Mama Limited and the sequel to the 2007 video game Cooking Mama: Cook Off. However, the publishers differ; the game was published by Taito for Japan, while the game was published by Majesco for North America and the PAL version of the game was published by 505 Games. The game was released in North America on November 18, 2008, in Japan on December 11, 2008, in Europe on February 6, 2009, and in Australia on June 4, 2009.
Several previews have been shown at E3 2008 including new characters, over 50 recipes, and new controls.
The goal of the game is to complete a meal of the player's choice. The player cooks in steps, for example, if making sushi, the player will cut the fish in one step, and do the rice in another. Every time a meal is finished, other meals are unlocked, and so are other characters, family and friends.
The game received "mixed" reviews according to video game review aggregator Metacritic. In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of two eights, one seven, and one six, for a total of 29 out of 40.
