The '''Guard's hat pin''' is an item in the DOS and Deluxe versions of ''[[Mario is Missing! (PC)|Mario is Missing!]]''. It depicts the traditionally Communist symbol of the {{wp|hammer and sickle}} (although despite what its image shows, it also sits on top of a {{wp|red star}}), and it is worn on the hats of those guarding [[Lenin's Tomb]]. A single one of these is stolen from one of the guards by some invading [[Koopa Troopa]]s, causing the entire tomb to be closed off to the public. [[Luigi]] then acquires it from a wandering Koopa Troopa, and sets out to find the pin's original location by asking [[Moscow]]'s various locals. He eventually learns that he needs to return it to Lenin's Tomb, and he does so through its information booth, receiving an award of $1275.
