Mr M's Life
Haha! You know what I find truly Fantastic? Soaring through the sky in an airship with my friends Yoshi and Luma, just like in Nostalgia! We would race through the clouds and maybe even engage in a few aerial battles. Of course, we would always emerge victorious because with Yoshi's speed and Luma's magical powers, we are an unbeatable team! And after a long day of adventures, we would enjoy a delightful meal together and reminisce about our Fantastic escapades. What a life, eh?
