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.

Cooking Mama is the follow-on game after the Nintendo DS Cooking Mama game. This time mama teaches you to cook up some delicious international dishes from 10 different countries. After you've mastered your skills you'll want to see how you fair against some of the other chefs out there. With multiplayer you can cook against a friend to see who really is the grill master. With the unique controls of the Wiimote, you use it to actually move utensils to "cook."

In Cooking Mama 3, players use the stylus as the ultimate cooking utensil to create 80 all new dishes including chili con carne, tulip chicken, mushroom quiche and more. For the first time players can shop for the necessary ingredients before they start cooking in 200 different mini-games that let them chop, grate, slice, and stir up phenomenal foods. Cooking Mama 3 also lets aspiring chefs create their own dishes by combining ingredients together in delicious new ways. In addition, the game features multiplayer cooking challenges and five other gameplay modes. As recipes progress from simple to complex and from small to large dishes, players must do their best to meet Mama's expectations and impress their hungry friends. If friends think a dish is delicious, gamers will get to unlock another new friend!

As in the original The Cooking Mama, players in The Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends, prepare various culinary dishes using the Nintendo DS's touch screen. Following the on-screen instructions of the titular "Mama", the player uses the stylus to perform various activities such as chopping vegetables or mixing ingredients. Each of these tasks is performed by completing a short minigame, with a number of minigames strung together to form an entire dish from a catalog of 80 different recipes. After completing a dish, the player's cooking performance is evaluated and given a numerical score (out of 100) along with a corresponding medal. Failing to accomplish a step in Let's Cook mode or getting a "fail" within steps (in various ranges), the player will receive a "Broken Silver" medal, in which the medal is similar to that of the Silver medal with an addition: a crack. Unlike in previous Cooking Mama titles, bonuses earned during minigames do not influence the overall score, but instead accumulate as "bonus stars". For every 5 such bonuses which are earned, the player earns an unlockable item upon completion of the recipe.

The gameplay structure consists of the player progressing through a series of short minigames. The game features a total of 96 different dishes. Each minigame represents a different activity in the meal preparation, such as mixing, frying, or chopping the provided ingredients. The minigame mechanics themselves range from quickly drawing parallel lines in order to chop items, to a rhythm game where ingredients are added to a skillet or the heat is adjusted at precisely the right time. In many cases, players must look at the top screen of the DS for guidance on what to do next and then perform the task on the bottom screen. If the player makes a serious blunder or time expires without sufficient progress being made, that step in the cooking process is considered a failure. When this happens, a graphic of an angry "Mama" with flames erupting from her eyes is displayed, along with the caption "Don't worry, Mama will fix it!".

Charlie the Chef keeps all the ingredients locked away in the pantry, only letting them out when he wants to cook them! Now this makes them jolly upset, let me tell you. So! As soon as they can, the ingredients dash out of the pantry dragging all the sorts of nasties, found in the bottom of drawers and cupboards, with them, to escape, and run wild. Poor old Charlie! He has to daze the ingredients with his flour bombs and knock them into the mixing bowl, because if they go into the dustbins they will be eaten by the bin monster, who doesn't care one little bit where he throws any rubbish. Should any rubbish or nasties get into the cake mix then the "ingredients needed" counter will change, and Charlie will have to work quicker and faster, if he's going to bake his cake
