Side Scrolling Levels
LEVEL TIMER
When you are in a side scrolling level, there is a level timer located in the upper right corner of the screen. You need to complete the level before the time runs out. While you are in the level, you can find Time collectables that increase the time you have.
In certain places, you find holes in the world that are portals to other areas. Press Up or Down on the +Control Pad to enter these areas.
Top-Down Levels
SCENT METER
In Top-down levels, the Level Timer is replaced with a Scent Meter. Remy needs to keep on the trail, and his scent meter tracks how well you are doing. Each time you run into an obstacle, the scent meter goes down a little bit. If your scent meter runs out, Remy has lost the scent and you need to start over.
Pressing the L Button activates Remy's keen sense of smell to help you locate hidden objects, or lead you towards the main ingredient in a level (if a main ingredient is in the area).
Cooking Mini-Games
Once you have collected the five ingredients, you will be able to compete in a cooking mini-game. There are three burners - Low, Medium, and High. There are pots on each of the burners.
Look at the icon above each pot. This tells you which ingredient is needed in each pot. Select the ingredient with the +Control Pad and press the A Button. Now select the pot with the +Control Pad and press the A Button to put the ingredient in the pot.
When all the ingredients are in a pot, you are prompted to press the +Control Pad Down. The only thing you have to do now is to heat or cool the dish to the proper temperature - indicated by the green zone on the thermometer.
Switching the pots from burner to burner allows you to accelerate or decelerate the cooking speed. To serve the dish, press the +Control Pad Down.
Garnish Mini-Game
When you serve a dish, a Garnish mini-game will begin. Follow the pattern on the screen with the +Control Pad. The farther you get with the pattern, the more bonus points you earn for the mini-game.
If you serve a dish early, you can still get full marks if you do well at the Garnish stage.
NOTE: You cannot get the full 5 star rating from Gusteau unless you have found the hidden Garnish in the preceding chapter!
