{{quote|Putting on badges and taking them off is a vital skill.|Goompa|Paper Mario|(Item Description)}}
'''Badges''' appear in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as [[List of items|items]] in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] and [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]]. They are equipped onto the player and they have a variety of uses depending on the game. They may increase stats, provide unusual abilities, or give characters access to new moves.
==History==
===''Paper Mario'' series===
[[File:Close Call obtained PM.png|thumb|320px|Mario discovers the Close Call Badge from ''[[Paper Mario]]'']]
Each badge requires a certain amount of [[Badge Point|BP]] to be equipped, which means that Mario cannot equip all the badges at the same time. The more useful a badge, the more BP it requires. Instead of changing Mario's stats, badges have many uses, from prolonging Mario's [[Spin Dash]] to changing the sound effects of Mario's [[hammer]] and [[jump]] attacks. Some badges also allow Mario to use special attacks with the hammer and [[boots]] that use [[Flower Point|FP]].

{{Main|List of Badges in Paper Mario}}
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Badges (as capitalized only in this game) can be found scattered in all the Mushroom Kingdom, but some particular Badges can be only bought from [[Rowf and Rhuff|Rowf]] in [[Toad Town]] and from [[Merlow]] in exchange for [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Pieces]]. In the prologue, [[Goompa]] gives [[Mario]] the [[Power Jump]] Badge and teaches him how to use Badges. Later in the game, [[Merluvlee]] in the [[Shooting Star Summit]] can predict the locations of Badges. There are 80 Badges in total, and aside from the pause menu, Mario can also read from the board in [[Mario Bros.' House|his house]] to see how many Badges he has collected.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
{{multiframe|[[File:HP Plus TTYD.png]][[File:Power Plus TTYD.png]]|The HP Plus and Power Plus badges in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''|size=120|align=left}}
{{Main|List of badges in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door}}
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', as well as being scattered over the world, badges can also be dropped by enemies, bought from the [[Lovely Howz of Badges]] and [[Charlieton]] in [[Rogueport]] with coins, from [[Pianta Parlor]] in Rogueport with [[pianta token]]s, and exchanged from [[Dazzle]] in [[Rogueport Underground]] with [[Star Piece (Paper Mario series)|Star Piece]]s. [[Ms. Mowz]] can steal badges from enemies and enemies also occasionally drop badges when defeated. In this game, some badges have a "P" at the end of their names, they are identical to their non-"P" counterparts but affect Mario's partner instead.

Equipping multiple copies of an attack badge now doubles the FP cost of the move for each extra badge equipped, but increases the move's attack power and/or the duration of its status effect by 1. Similarly, equipping multiple copies of [[Charge (badge)|Charge]] or [[Charge P]] will double the cost of charging, but make it provide 1 more Attack. Equipping both available copies of [[Double Dip]] or [[Double Dip P]] will allow the use of [[Triple Dip]] — unlike other badges, doing this will still allow the normal version of Double Dip to be used.

There are 85 kinds of badges in total, 87 in the remake. Interestingly, enemies cannot drop Badges until after [[Professor Frankly]] has given Mario the [[Power Smash]] Badge. The player can hold only a maximum of 200 badges.

====''Super Paper Mario''====
{{multiframe|[[File:HP Plus SPM.png]][[File:Power Plus SPM.png]]|The HP Plus and Power Plus items in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''|size=120|align=left}}
''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' eliminates the use of badges, as there is no RPG-style battling system. There are, however, two items that were badges in the past games: [[Power Plus (Super Paper Mario)|Power Plus]] and [[HP Plus (Super Paper Mario)|HP Plus]]. They retain their main purposes: Power Plus boosts the character's attack power by 1, and HP Plus boosts the character's maximum Heart Points by 5. Unlike the badges seen in the first two ''Paper Mario'' games, the effects of these items in ''Super Paper Mario'' are permanent. The player can also buy them both from the [[Flipside Arcade]], but both are extremely expensive, costing 2,500 [[Flipside Token]]s each. Badges also get a reference in Ms. Mowz's Catch Card description.

{{Main|List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga gear}}
{{Main|List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions gear}}
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', each bro can only wear one badge at a time. Badges are used to raise Mario or Luigi's stats (like their [[Bros. Point]] or [[Power]] stat). Certain badges also allow different effects to be used in battle, such as defense from spiked enemies like [[Sharpea]]s and [[Pestnut]]s, [[Heart Point|HP]] recovery, and attacks with different effects, among others. In the original game, the first badge Mario and [[Luigi]] obtain is the [[Bean Badge]] (the [[List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions#Bwaha Badge|Bwaha Badge]] is received before the Bean Badge in the remake, which is dropped by [[Dragohoho]]) from a [[Pea]] before they head off to [[Chucklehuck Woods]]. More badges can be bought in shops all around the [[Beanbean Kingdom]], dropped from defeated enemies/bosses, or gained from NPCs, mainly after completing certain sidequests (ex. finding all [[Beanstone]]s for an old [[Beanish]] in [[Beanbean Castle Town]] in exchange for a [[List of badges in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga#Bros. Rock|Bros. Rock]]).
{{br|right}}

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
[[File:Badge - MaLPiT.png|left|frame]]
{{Main|List of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time gear}}
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', Badges only give special effects to Mario, Luigi, [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]]. [[List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|Clothing]] instead affects all the stats in this game. Badges can be found all around the Mushroom Kingdom of the past, dropped by enemies/bosses, or bought in the present [[Peach's Castle#Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|Peach's Castle]]'s [[Shroom Shop]], [[Gritzy Caves]]' [[Monty Mart]], [[Toad Town#Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|Toad Town]]'s [[Gramma's Place]] and [[Peach's Castle Dungeon]]'s [[Fawful's Bean 'n' Badge]] (for [[bean]]s). Like the game's predecessor, only one badge can be given to each bro at a time.

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
[[File:MLBISDX BadgesMenu.png|thumb|The badges menu in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'']]
Badges appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', in which they are used in battle by only Mario and Luigi. The first two badges are given to the player by [[Princess Lipid]] in the [[Flab Zone]]. When a gauge fills up, touching the two linked badges with the stylus activates the badge, yielding a variety of results, such as restoring health. The gauge is filled up by performing an attack in either a "GOOD", "GREAT" or "EXCELLENT" way (the requirements vary from badge to badge), though switching a badge to a different one resets the gauge to zero. Some badges can be purchased at a shop in [[Toad Town]] and others can be found throughout the game. Luigi's badge (the left side of the gauge) determines how good the action command must be to fill the bar, and how big the effect is. Mario's badge (the right side of the gauge) decides what the effect is.

In the game's remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', the Badges return and are received at the same place as the original game and function how they did in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'', except the badge meter does not fill up if there are two badge effects stored.

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
[[File:M&LDTBadges1.png|thumb|The Badge Meter in ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'']]
Badges reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', and are received much earlier than the previous installment. The first two badges, the Starter and Mush Badge, are both found in the depths of [[Pi'illo Castle]], where the petrified [[Prince Dreambert]] is also found.  Mario can equip one badge out of a set of six and Luigi can equip one badge out of the a different set of six. In total, there are 36 combinations, each with a different effect. 

The remaining 10 badges are purchased from specific shops in the game. All badge shops carry the same inventory, though certain events prompt the appearance of new Badges.

During battle, a Badge Meter on the bottom screen fills up as the Mario Bros. attack successfully. In the [[Pi'illo Island|Real World]], the badges are filled up the same way as in ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''. In the [[Dream World]], regular attacks fill up Mario's side, and [[Luiginary Attack]]s fill up Luigi's side. When the two badges meet at any point on the meter, the meter resets and their corresponding badge effect is stored in a space of the touch screen. This space is called the "effect stock". By default, there are two spots available. This can be increased to three spots if the [[Rank#Mario & Luigi: Dream Team|Badge Stock +1]] Rank-Up Bonus is selected for one of the bros, and can be increased to four spots if both characters have that bonus. Touching the badge effect displays what it does, and a second tap triggers the effect. (Badge effects are "consumed" after being used.) If a badge effect is earned while the effect stock is full, the leftmost badge effect in the effect stock is removed. All effects are moved a space backward, and the new effect takes the rightmost space.

The side of the Badge Meter corresponding to a Bro. who [[Downed|falls in battle]] will fully deplete, akin to getting a Great! or worse when Luigi equips his Excellent!! badge in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''.

In the chart below, Mario's badges are listed across and Luigi's are listed downwards.

Badges are introduced in the mainline ''Super Mario'' titles in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. While [[Prince Florian]] equips one on his head, he grants players additional skills that can assist them in the level. Players can obtain badges from completing Badge Challenges or purchasing them in [[Poplin Shop]]s. Badges are divided into three categories: orange Action Badges let players take a special action such as gliding with their caps; blue Boost Badges are passive abilities that grant benefits such as attracting nearby coins; and yellow Expert Badges include advanced skills with trade-offs intended for experienced players.
