How to Get the Mink Pin in "The World Ends With You"
Neku, your character in "The World Ends With You" on the Nintendo DS, uses pins with special powers, or psychs, to battle monsters called Noise. You get more pins by completing tasks in the game, buying them in shops, evolving them from other pins or winning them from Noise. The Mink pin is numbered 289, and you can only get it from Noise. To activate it, you blow into the microphone on the DS, creating a tornado that damages Noise. To obtain this rare pin, you have to play through the entire game, then revisit previous chapters.

Tips & Warnings
The Mink pin is also dropped by Noise 21, Death Thrash Mink, on the ultimate difficulty level. Buy the ultimate difficulty sticker from Shibu-Q Heads after completing the game. Noise 21 can be found throughout Shibuya on days 3, 5 and 6 of Beat's chapter.
The default drop rate for the Mink pin for both types of Noise is 0.30 percent. This percentage increases when you gain more character levels and lower your character level gauge. For example, if your character level is 42 and you lower the level gauge to 21, the adjusted drop rate increases to 6.60 percent. With character level 42 and the level gauge set to 1, the drop rate becomes 12.60 percent.
You can also increase the drop rate by engaging multiple Noise symbols in chain battles and equipping certain pins, like the Mother Lode pin.
