* CoOpMultiplayer: While the game can be played by a single player switching between chefs, it's at its best when played by two to four people working together to assemble and serve dishes. If in multiplayer mode, the game forces the chefs to cooperate by splitting the kitchen in two zones, and not giving everything required for one player. Additional players make the game easier and therefore require more tips in order to receive awarded stars. The game also supports hydra-play, where one player can use two characters with one controller.

* MissingSecret: When you first get the recipe for burgers, the game tells you you can put cheese on them. However, no burgers in the first game include cheese, with their only optional ingredients being lettuce or lettuce and tomatoes. The sequel rectifies this by having you make cheeseburgers as well as the lettuce and tomato burgers.

''Overcooked!'' is a series of cooperative, cooking-themed games, developed by Ghost Town Games and published by Creator/Team17. The first game, ''Overcooked!,'' was released in 2016 on PC, UsefulNotes/XBoxOne, and UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, and in 2017 on UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch. Its sequel, ''Overcooked! 2,'' was released simulataneously on PC, Xbox One, Playstation 4, and Nintendo Switch in 2018.
The games put you in the role of chefs in the magical Onion Kingdom, who must cooperate to serve hungry customers. You have a constant stream of orders to fulfill. You must prepare ingredients, cook them correctly, put them on plates, and then serve them up. You've also got to take care of other common kitchen tasks, such as washing dishes and putting out fires. Get orders out quickly and accurately, and you'll get a nice fat tip. But watch out! If you take too long to prepare a dish, your customers will get angry and you'll ''lose'' money.
Complicating matters is the fact that these are ''not'' ordinary kitchens. They're located on hot air balloons, or moving trucks, or active volcanos, or space stations. And they're full of things like conveyor belts, and moving platforms, and poltergeists constantly moving around your tools and ingredients. As if feeding hungry customers wasn't hard enough!

* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Kevin can be underestood by the Onion King, but all the audience hears from him is "BARK."
* ItCameFromTheFridge: The Unbread in the second game are evil living moldy bread.
* LikeAnOldMarriedCouple: The DLC missions in the second game show Onion King and Kevin like this, bickering over the Onion King's failure in the Unbread incident and their subsequent banishment from the kingdom. [[IntelligibleUnintelligible We never get to hear Kevin's side of it,]] but he's clearly chiding the Onion King the whole time.
* LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy: Not only are there both human and animal chefs, but the Onion King is a living plant man. And Kevin has the look of an ordinary dog, but is clearly [[AmplifiedAnimalAptitude much more intelligent than one]]--smart enough to fly a helicopter, anyway.
* NoOSHACompliance: The kitchens of the game are ''not'' safe. They include things like fireball-spitting statues, bottomless pits, and straight-up lava.
* SecretLevel: The second game has unlockable "Kevin" levels. All of them involve making steamed buns and all need to be unlocked by meeting certain criteria in other stages, such as getting a certain score or not failing any orders.
* SpeakingSimlish: The Onion King speaks in deep-voiced grumbles. The chefs have higher-pitched grumbles.
* SymbolSwearing: The "swear" button in the first game causes a stream of this to come from your character's mouth, along with some grumpy [[SpeakingSimlish Simlish.]]
* TomeOfEldritchLore: The Unbread in the second game are summoned from the Necrodoughmicon.
* {{Unishment}}: The second game's DLC show that the Onion King's punishment for summoning the Unbread in the second game is temporary exile to the various DLC locations. Locations that include a beautiful tropical island and serene woods to camp in. He's well aware of this, and is determined to have fun with it.
