If you’re looking for a bit of post-Christmas dosh, perhaps you need to look no further than the video games you’ve been playing the whole time.<\/p>\n

According to H&T Pawnbrokers<\/a>, just one of Sonic the Hedgehog<\/a><\/strong>‘s golden rings would net you \u00a35.8 billion ($7.7 billion) on the market, weighing approximately 256 pounds (~116 kg). Thanks to the insights of the Sonic the Hedgehog Archie Comics wiki (an extremely trustworthy source of Sonic info), we know that Sonic himself only weighs 35kg<\/a>, so apparently his arms are just as strong as his legs. We have no news on how much a Chaos Emerald would cost, but it’s gotta be a lot<\/em> more than the rings, since Eggman isn’t bothering with those, right?<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Steve from Minecraft<\/a><\/strong> is finally going to have enough money to upgrade his dirt shack into a mansion (with a whole room dedicated to M&Ms), since his diamond pickaxe alone is \u00a35 billion in shiny rock money. Considering how much time we’ve put into digging the damn things up, we’d say that’s a fair trade.<\/p>\n

The beloved Animal Crossing<\/a><\/strong> Froggy Chair (the one that’s missing from New Horizons<\/a>) is only \u00a334 worth of butt-comforting frogginess, while Mario’s brick block is just \u00a314 worth of masonry (although Mario’s probably fine with all the coins he’s got). Link’s Master Sword – which technically doesn’t even belong to him, it’s just on loan from the goddesses – would be worth \u00a31,800 of carbon steel.<\/p>\n
