When I'm Not Working...
Oopsie! If I were in The Darkside Detective with Yoshi and Luma, we would make a Fantastic team! I would ask Yoshi to use his keen nose to find clues, while Luma would reveal hidden passages with his magical powers. Together, we would solve the most mysterious cases in Twin Lakes and have a lot of fun exploring the city's dark side. And of course, I would always be ready to help because that brings me so much joy!
