Chef

Template:Infobox Chef is a Game & Watch game that is also found in Game & Watch Gallery 2 and Game & Watch Gallery 4. Its goal is to keep the food off the ground. If any food hits the ground, the player loses a life.

Classic Version

A chef paces back and forth in a kitchen, using his frying pan to keep three to four pieces of food airborne. If a piece of food ends up on the floor, a mouse will grab it and the player gets penalized with a miss. The cat at the left hand side of the screen will occasionally grab the left-most piece of food with a fork, only to keep it from falling to the ground. It is also the origin of Mr. Game & Watch's standard move.

Modern Version

Princess Peach, who is holding a pan, has to feed Yoshi by cooking the food Mario and Luigi throw into the air. If the food hits Peach's pan, the player gets a point. If the food gets crispy, the player may have to feed it to Yoshi; feeding the Yoshi gains a few extra points. However, if Yoshi eats any burnt food, he changes into a Baby Yoshi. If the food goes on the floor, Peach will throw a fit and the player will receive a miss.

The different foods that the Mario Bros. toss out each require different amount of flips before getting crispy (ex. eggs require about three flips to cook). As the game progresses, the foods start flying off in angles instead of simply going up straight.

The Modern Version of Chef is remade in Game & Watch Gallery 4. Changes from the previous Modern Version are as follows:

• Thanks to the graphical capabilities of the Game Boy Advance, the sprites of Peach, Yoshi, and the Mario Brothers are far more consistent with the characters' official colorations than the Game Boy Color's limitations would allow.
• The previous Modern Version used eggs, fish, steak, and sausages as the flippable food. Game & Watch 4's Modern Chef uses bell peppers and lobsters as well.
• The background now changes as the player racks up more points. The background will change after every 200 points. Peach will start off in a kitchen, after 200 points, the background will blur and then be changed into what looks like the princess's castle garden.
