The Sonic's Nose Challenge: Step 1: Sculpt a new big Sonic nose. Step 2: Get a flight to Japan. Step 3: Find the location of the Sonic statue. Step 4: Carefully glue the new nose you created to the Sonic statue. Step 5: Pat yourself on the back. Sonic can now smell again.

I'm not sure if the decision to place the statue in the forest was a good idea. On one hand, it could give more attention to the character of Sonic the hedgehog. On the other, it's a unique piece of video game memorabilia on one of the most popular characters of all time that has lost a great amount of value due to damages.

I want someone to fully restore this thing. Like repaint it and give it a new nose and all that. Then put it back in the same place and put glass around it to protect it and check up on it from time to time. Edit: damn, they did it huh

[@ToaKoran]

The glass is sadly a bad idea, it would be broken pretty quickly, and just be a nuisance, and that's IF they even allow it put in. Restoration is definitely possible, as well as regular maintenance, but I don't see a protective case being something that'll be done.

I know it's just a joke, but if the area sees lots of heavy snow, it's likely that the nose simply snapped off under the weight of snow that piled on top of it given its deteriorating condition. The nose is probably the weakest point on the statue and, with time, more parts would probably fall off.

Nice to meet you. I am Japanese of Sonic fans for over 20 years. Thank you for posting valuable videos. I live in Miyagi Prefecture. Mie prefecture is far away, I know the place where this statue is, but I have never actually seen it. I would like to see it soon. There is an accommodation facility called "Kodera Sanso (Kodera Mountain retreat)" at the end of the forest road behind the statue, which is my expectation but I think that it is a accommodation facility for officials of Sega. So, after the "Sega World Kadoma" closed, I think that Sonic's statue moved to that place.Again, thank you so much for posting valuable videos.

I so desperately want to see this statue get preserved, it's such a good looking one and it very well may be the only one of its kind, which means if we want future generations to see it, preservation is of the utmost importance. It's also a part of the history of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and too often we see important pieces of a franchise's history become lost to time and then eventually become forgotten completely. I don't want that to happen to this statue, nor to any other remaining pieces of Sonic's history, because this franchise is very important to me and is close to my heart, so I want to see it last as long as physically possible, even if it's just in random pieces like this it's better than becoming lost forever, irretrievably gone.

I think this statue represents Sonic's reputation in the gaming industry: Still intact and alive after a long time, but is in the state of almost breaking down and become a forgotten legacy.

I hope this can lead to the owners being contacted and they agree to preservation or repairs to halt its deterioration, even if done or paid by the Sonic community. The owners may not even realize how famous the model is and all the work that has been put into finding it over the years. Now the the location has been revealed we should look forward to even higher quality photos and videos.

"[The nose has] either been broken off, or worn away due to time" Come on dude. It isn't just going to spontaneously evaporate down to a nub.

[@BitchCookie]

No, but due to the shape, the area closer to his face is likely to rust first, which would make it much less stable. A stick, an animal, the nose's own weight, etc. Could knock it off if the base rusted first.

[@AstroTibs]

@@BitchCookie Exactly. So pretty obviously it was broken off.

[@BitchCookie]

@@AstroTibs I see what you mean, but if it were just broken by wear and tear rather than a person, I wouldn't really consider it being broken off over just worn off.

Hey Badnik Mechanic! I'd just like to say that I extremely grateful for the attention my channel has experienced as a result of this awesome video. My videos about the recent discovery of the Sega World Sonic and Sally statues found abandoned in a Sydney junkyard have truly boomed in the last week and now I have an army of Sonic the Hedgehog fans demanding more information about their rescue. Once again thank you and oddly enough I did subscribe to your channel because I liked your thumbnails at first and stayed for the content!

[@abbycollins]

I just want to thank you for sharing this video. While I wish I had ties to this story so I can help or at least find someone who can, I was very surprised on this topic nonetheless. While I don't consider myself a hardcore sonic fan, this whole video, along with the russian gameshow and the alton towers episode, is making non hardcore fans like me learn about obscure sonic history. And the serious overlay to the video is what sold me to this channel's content. I believe giving knowledge is the best gift you can give someone. With it, some major changes can happen and horrible wrongs can be righted. And honestly? I hope someone, out there, who has the tools, the skills and the money to fix it watches this video and realizes the impact it has on fans and the local community. Then they could fix it, and you can be the one to say that you helped fix the sonic statue. And that is a bragging right beyond compare. Your new subscriber, Abby Collins

[@BadnikMechanic]

Wow, this is one of the best and nicest comments I have ever received on KZbin since starting my channel way back in 2006. I'm just really glad you've found my content so enjoyable that you want to stick around, it really does make me happy that people truly are interested in what I create. On the matter of sharing knowledge, I will be doing a small follow up video to this one in the near future since I've been given some new information and video of said statue, but in terms of wider gaming, I do want to produce some more videos that focus on game design outside of Sonic. So I hope that you and everyone who follows this channel will find those interesting since it'll be exploring game design theory and not just a standard review or critique of something. But again, thank you for this very nice comment!

[@butcherax]

Re: the impact it has on fans - Sonic is an important symbol for us and therefore wherever we see him, we want to see him in good condition. Honestly I could have lived my life not knowing there was a Sonic statue there, but now I know he is there I want him to be in the best condition possible. As for the local community, I doubt very much anyone there cares about Sonic or his statue, otherwise it wouldn't have fallen into disrepair. Sonic is more popular in the west than in Japan, being largely designed to appeal to a western audience in the first place.
