Fantasy Star-Ball Planet

There is a fantasy planet in the universe that is veiled in vibrant colors. The universe is abuzz with legends of the fantasy planet. However, no one has ever set foot on the planet, people only know that it looks like a bunch of meatballs, hence the name “Ball Planet.”

The Adventures of Pig Lily Star

Being a curious individual, Uncle Jump decides to reveal the mystery of the Ball Planet and embarks on a series of adventures. First, he arrives at Juliet Star and when the friendly piglets learn that Uncle Jump is looking for the Ball Planet, three of them volunteered to assist him.

Cuttlefish Princess's Help

On the second stop, they arrive at a teardrop-shaped planet inhabited by laid-back sea creatures and everyone calls it the Blue Lazy Planet. When the wise Squid Princess knew that Uncle Jump is a renowned meatball expert, she merrily invites them to taste the exclusive “Blue Lazy Balls,” a specialty of the Blue Lazy Planet. The fresh, chewy meatballs replenished the energy of Uncle Jump and his entourage!

Rocket crash lands on Sunflower Star

With the Squid Princess’s guidance and feeling reinvigorated, Uncle Jump and his companions felt utterly confident about finding the Ball Planet!

When they are dancing with joy, the rocket’s screeching Beeping noise dampens everyone’s mood. As it turns out, the rocket is out of fuel! Feeling anxious, they decided to crash land on a lettuce-like Vegetable Planet.

Refuel

After the rocket successfully lands, the sound of their laughter attracts Mr. Mushroom, who kindly refueled and cleaned their rocket after he becomes aware that they have run out of fuel. Having been blessed by many people’s assistance, Uncle Jump decided to use ingredients on the Vegetable Planet to whip up a meatball feast for Mr. Mushroom. While Uncle Jump is cooking, the three piglets helped prepare the ingredients for him.

-END-

After bidding farewell to the Vegetable Planet, they soon arrived at the legendary Ball Planet, a breathtakingly beautiful planet surrounded by stardust! Since the environmental conditions on the Ball Planet such as temperature and humidity are conducive for making meatballs, coupled with the inspiration obtained from various planets along the journey, they decided to stay here to develop a plethora of meatballs. Now, Uncle Jump and the piglets are happily making meatballs with diverse flavors on the Ball Planet every day!
