After making the Rainbow Waffles and feeling confident that I could follow on-screen instructions, I was ready to have a go at some of the 70+ promised recipes, tournaments or challenges. However, Yum Yum informed me that I needed to learn some new techniques to gain more recipes. The techniques are practice mini-games, but there is no option to skip this learning. The graphics are good, but the movement requirements are similar. However, six culinary techniques later, my recipe repertoire increased. In order to progress further, I had to cook these new delights to the bronze trophy level.

Let Loose in the Kitchen – Not Quite

I easily achieved this and even gained a gold trophy, to which Yum Yum and the judges performed a dance (a snapshot of which I could share on social media). Alas, no tournaments or daily challenges unlocked, just more techniques. Complete the technique training and a new set of recipes appear. Complete the recipes and new techniques are available. It seemed like an endless circle. Initially, there are 50 recipes, I believe more are available from completing various tasks, including sharing on social media. There are some delicious-sounding delights, such as Unicorn Hot Chocolate or Rainbow Marshmallow Dream Bars. Aaero: Complete Edition Switch

The recipes consist of various steps (mini-games), sometimes as little as 4, but it could be as many as 12. Generally, the recipe has different mini-game mechanics, but on some of the longer recipes, there is repetition. The mini-game could be keeping in time with the timer, stirring the pot, moving or chopping the ingredients, catching the falling ingredients or selecting the right ingredient order in a mini-memory game. Nothing overly complicated, although I struggled to get the timings right on the rolling pin game. Your score is displayed after each completed step and you have a humorous picture to look at whilst the next recipe step loads.

The mini-games almost played to the beat, but not quite.

This loading screen can be there for 7+ seconds. This doesn’t seem long, but when the mini-game only takes seconds to complete, it started to interrupt the flow of the game and became increasingly annoying. It took around 10 hours to complete the cycle of techniques/recipes and still, no tournament opened up. I don’t know what triggers this event as there is no information provided. It was very disappointing. However, the Daily Challenges did appear on the morning after release. I had a go at them, but it was based on the top skill level which I couldn’t successfully complete.

I started my culinary adventure using a Pro-Controller, although pressing buttons was easy enough, rotating the stick didn’t feel comfortable. Swapping to Joy-Cons with motion control was more enjoyable and intuitive for certain mini-games, but not for all. The touch screen was great for mixing and selecting, but trickier for smashing when you have to use the buttons. I returned to using a Pro-Controller. I really wanted to like Yum Yum Cookstar. I enjoyed the bright colours, some of the recipes were inspiring and the music was fun, but overall the game failed to keep me engaged. Amazing Princess Sarah Switch
