Cookin

| ||||||||||||||
Cookin is a rare chef enemy appearing exclusively inKirby & The Amazing Mirror. It is a rotund, bright yellow creature with a pair of small eyes and a mouth that is constantly frowning, as well as two red feet and a singular, gloved hand holding a red frying pan floating next to its body. On its head, it wears atoque blanche, signifying its status as a cook. It is the only regular enemy in theKirby series to yield the Cook ability, apart fromPrank which has an identical attack in one of its pranks.
Game appearances[edit]
Kirby & The Amazing Mirror[edit]
Cookin is a completely stationary adversary, waiting in one place untilKirby approaches it. Once he does, it begins to repeatedly throw its large frying pan at him, which returns into its hand like aboomerang. If Kirby gets caught in it, he henceforth remains on top of the pan as it flies back to its owner, enabling Cookin to use it to fry him. During this process, Kirby takes no damage, but cannot move. Eventually, Cookin tosses Kirby a short distance, causing him to be harmed as soon as he hits the ground. Cookin's health is no greater than that of aWaddle Dee and it is vulnerable to any attack, but if Kirby inhales and swallows it, he is granted the rareCookCopy Ability. Once defeated, Cookin does not respawn until a goal is reached, aBoss is beaten or the game is restarted.
