The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Article on WiKirby | Chef Kawasaki |
Chef Kawasaki (コックカワサキ, Cook Kawasaki) is an enemy from the Kirby universe.
Origin
Chef Kawasaki debuted in Kirby Super Star as a mid-boss and the source of the Cook ability, and later reprised this role in Kirby Star Allies. Originally, he had two attacks: using his ladle to grab the player character and cook them with a frying pan, or throwing dishes and silverware as projectiles. When copied, the Cook ability allowed Kirby to draw enemies toward him and cook them in a boiling pot, receiving an food item for each defeated enemy. Kawasaki's appearance as an Assist Trophy in Ultimate combines Kawasaki's ladle grab with Cook Kirby's attack.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

As an Assist Trophy
“ | He grabs opponents using his long ladle and mixes them into a pot! The unlucky opponent will continue to take damage as the chef cooks up health recovery items. You can then use his food to recover your health (just don't think about the recipe)! | ” |

Chef Kawasaki appears as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He uses a ladle to grab opponents from afar, then puts them in a boiling pot, which launches them and creates food; this is similar to Cook Kirby, Kirby's Final Smash in Brawl. He can also throw plates as projectiles, and he leaves behind a random food item before disappearing. He is one of several Assist Trophies that can be KO'd. Training Mode describes his Assist Trophy: Grabs hold of opponents and mixes them into a pot. Once the broth is ready, he'll make health recovery items! He cannot be summoned in King of Fighters Stadium, Mute City SNES, and Spirit Train.
