“You figured out exactly what I wanted! I've been without a purse since I lost mine that terrible day...”

—Pauline,Super Mario Odyssey

Pauline's lost items,^[1] also known asPauline's lost articles,^[2][3]Pauline's Possessions,^[3]accessories,^[4][5][6] orprizes,^{[7][page number needed]} are collectibles inDonkey Kong. WhenDonkey Kong kidnapsPauline, she loses three of the items she has: herParasol^{[8][page number needed][9][10]} (also known as anumbrella),^{[11][page number needed][6]}Hat,^{[12][page number needed][6][9]} andBag^[9] (also known as apurse,^{[13][page number needed][6][14]}Purse,^[10] orhandbag^[15]). WhenMario sets out to save Pauline from Donkey Kong, Mario can also optionally recover her lost items, which can be found throughout the game in all but thefirst stage. Each item is worth 300points in level 1, 500 in level 2, and 800 in subsequent levels. The presence of these items varies among home ports; for example, the hat does not exist and is sometimes replaced by a second parasol in theFamily Computer andNintendo Entertainment System version, whereas some home computer ports published byAtari add a fourth prize called abirthday cake.^{[16][page number needed]}

All three items are featured as optional collectible items in the 1994Game Boy titleDonkey Kong. In this game, collecting all the items can let Mario gain up to sevenextra lives in a post-level minigame. InMario vs. Donkey Kong, thepresents have a similar function. In theNelsonic Game Watch adaptation ofDonkey Kong, all three items are required to progress through the stage.

Pauline's parasol is an inventory item in theNintendo Adventure BookDoors to Doom.

Pauline's parasol, or a similar one, appears in the arcade version ofDonkey Kong Jr. during the transition cutscene between theJump Board Scene andMario's Hideout, whereDonkey Kong Jr. is in pursuit of Mario's chopper via a parasol.

InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl,Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, andSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, the items appear in the stage75 m, which is based on the originalDonkey Kong. Touching the items causes a sound effect to play and adds points to the tally at the top of the stage, and then they disappear for a while. The items do not affect gameplay.

Pauline's lost items reappear as objects that Mario can pick up inSuper Mario Odyssey in theMetro Kingdom after clearing the game. The white sunhat is found on a bench close to Pauline, the pink striped parasol is found on a bench by theOutdoor Café, and the pink purse is found atop some scaffolding on theNew Donk City Hall's east side. Upon Mario picking one of the items up, the points sound effect fromDonkey Kong plays. ThePower Moon for the objective "A Request from the Mayor" requires Mario to bring the purse to Pauline as a birthday present, whileCappy informs Mario that the hat and parasol are not appropriate gifts. The items are also referenced in the final question of her quiz, which talks about her most treasured possession, with the correct answer being her hat, which is part of her mayoral outfit and resembles the sunhat but is colored purple and replaces the flower with a bow. During theNew Donk City Festival, Pauline wears a hat similar to the one from the Game Boy version, colored red.

Pauline's lost items return inDonkey Kong Bananza as the rarefossils in thePlanet Core, using their pixelated appearance from the arcade version.
