"The video was posted with no context, no description, and even its comments were turned off, so no one could speculate about its meaning in the comments. Today, Nintendo uploaded an updated version of the short on the Nintendo Today app that sheds some light on the mystery by revealing Pikmin, the titular little plant-like creatures from Nintendo's strategy game series, were behind the original video's shenanigans all along."
"But there was also a fair bit of speculation that it could have been a clip from the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie , depicting what could have been a baby Rosalina taking her first steps. But now we know for sure, because the updated video shows all the weird floating items in the baby's room were actually being moved by Pikmin the whole time."
Nintendo released an animated short titled "Close to You" on YouTube and social channels without context, description, or comments enabled. An updated version on the Nintendo Today app revealed that Pikmin, the plant-like creatures from Nintendo's strategy series, were moving the floating items in a baby's room. Fans had noticed musical motifs and background figures that hinted at Pikmin, while others speculated the clip could relate to the Super Mario Galaxy Movie and a young Rosalina. The updated video adds a rendering layer showing dozens of Pikmin. The video's purpose remains unclear, with speculation about a game, movie, or a standalone animated piece.
