I’m not sure if I understood Vinny’s ~lore~ right, but Vlinny is still in a time loop between Miitopia and Tomodachi Life?

I’d like to think that this was the first experience Vlinny had of being sent away as punishment after Miitopia’s events, being sent down icy cold waters of… Antartica? The Arctic? Cold waters to be “preserved” somehow, which is a pretty cold way to punish people [ I don’t think you preserve things with cold water directly, but I was already coloring away ].

If not that, then Vlinny’s just falling into the void + crying a lot more tears.
