The souvenir (お土産,Odosan?) is an object that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a type of item that is associated with a specific country on earth.
In the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 version of Sonic Unleashed, souvenirs are items that can be brought from the Shops in each of the game's Town Stages with Rings. When the player purchases a souvenir, it can be given it to Professor Pickle, and, in return, he will give the player some advice on how to clear enemies better, unlock missions, clear Action Stages, and defeat bosses. He will also give occasional rewards in Sun/Moon Medals or other collectibles. Giving Pickle one souvenir unlocks a trophy/achievement of the game while giving him all of them will unlock another trophy/achievement.
Oh my, look at this! It's a handcrafted piece made only in a small region of Apotos. Note the fine embroidery. To think, each of these is put together by hand!
A rare and valuable archaeological artifact (well, a replica of one).
This is a replica of an ancient water jug that was unearthed in the area. Supposedly, the people of the time used vessels like these to carry water from its source.
An ornate mask. Unfortunately, it isn't Sonic's size.
Nobles used to don these masks and cavort the night away. Ha, would you look at the ornamentation? Can't you just picture the extravagant lives people lived back then?
Crystal ware whose resonant "clink" punctuates any toast.
This is a glass drinking vessel, very fragile, with etchings on its surface. I suppose you'd feel quite dainty sipping your favorite beverage from one of these.
Jewelry cut in raised relief. The perfect gift for any lady.
Spagonia is famed for its craftsmanship, and this piece certainly proves why. It takes tremendous skill to carve a raised relief out of solid stone. Ooh my, it's so lovely... So very... precious.. Hmm? Ah, yes, what was I saying?
This implement is used to perfume the air. You place pieces of aromatic plants and what-have-you inside and light the censer to release the scent. Yes, it is very relaxing.
A hanging lantern lit by the faint glow of candlelight.
This is used as a light. My, isn't this craftsmanship simply tremendous? Just put a candle inside, hang it up, and voila! You're in the Far East! ...Well, you have to admit that it feels that way.
I'm sure you've noticed the lovely painting on the exterior? Well, that was all done by hand. Let's handle this with care, shall we? I'd hate to see it wind up broken.
This is a picture frame from Mazuri. A single glance at the uninhabited, wild style of it says as much. Mm, from up close it faintly smells of trees. Lovely!
A handmade pot that heats up slowly for a nice, even boil.
This is a pot hand-sculpted from clay. It heats slowly, making it perfect for stews and boiled dishes. I'm sure a mother would appreciate this, especially if she has a houseful of discerning palates to please.
A hand-carved souvenir that's also the area's most popular.
A craft product made locally. It's shaped like an animal called an Ibanga. What? What do you mean it's not an Ibanga? Of course it is! What else would it be? My word!
Dolls of decreasing sizes, placed one inside the last.
Look at these dolls. They fit together! See, open the first one, and you'll find a smaller one inside. Open that, and you'll find a smaller one still! And so on. I wonder what the record is for how many of these dolls they've fit in one set. A dozen? A hundred?!
A sled built to scale so it can be put on display.
This sled has always been this country's preferred means of transport. Real sleds are exceptionally sturdy, capable of carrying up to one hundred passengers! Or something like that, anyway.
All of Holoska used to be underwater long ago, or so they say, so its people chose the whale as their symbol. That's why you see them placed around the village. Now wouldn't it be a hoot if they stuck a REAL whale right smack in the middle of the village!? What? What do you mean, "cruel?"
A traditional charm carved in relief. It does not deter birds.
Since long ago, the sun and moon have had special importance to the people of Shamar. This charm is based on that motif. Hang on to it; maybe it's lucky.
The work of a master. It would cost an arm and a leg abroad.
Shamar has always been famous for its carpets, you know. Each one is a work of art woven by hand. They come in all sorts of patterns, and the fancier ones will run you as much as a small house.
A common local charm fashioned after the emissary of light.
According to legend, the last time the planet was shattered, an emissary arrived with the daylight to put the world back as it was. That must be the fellow you see here on this charm. It's funny, though. I could swear I've seen him somewhere before.
This is Empire City's flag. The many stars represent the many diverse people who live there, while the stripes represent their interconnection. The whole design is a sort of call for unity, if you will.
The hottest mag on the stand. Read up on all of Empire City's latest.
This magazine's pages are chock full of articles about this region. Brenda's stories are especially good reads. She knows how to pull you into the action with her writing.
"The Perfect Friend! She Sings and Bakes, for Goodness Sake!"
What a cute doll! I hear parents in Empire City buy dolls for their children when they're born. The dolls are sort of like a first friend, if you will. Oh, look here. This one's named Jenny. Hello there, Jenny.
The goggles Eggman always has on. (For ages 3 and under.)
These look like the goggles Eggman wears, except this pair is just a replica. Wearing them has no effect. Well, other than the effect of making you feel like a complete dunce, of course.
Trivia[]
The unused laptop Souvenir.
In the internal data of the game, it was discovered that another Souvenir was planned for Empire City, which was going to be a laptop. It is suspected that it would have been sold by Traveling Salesman Wentos.
