'''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.
'''Badges''' are items used in several ''[[Mario (series)|Mario RPGs]]'' ever since their first appearance in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Badges are equipped as accessories, similar to the [[List of weapons in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|weapons]], [[Armor (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|armors]] and [[Accessories|accessories]] from ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. The main difference is that, unlike the items in ''Super Mario RPG'', Badges have a variety of uses depending on the game. They may increase stats, provide unusual abilities, or give [[Mario]] access to new moves.

Each badge requires a certain amount of [[Badge Point|BP]] to be equipped, which means that Mario can't 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 shoes that use [[Flower Point|FP]].

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]].
====''[[Paper Mario]]''====
In ''Paper Mario'' badges 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)|Star Pieces]].
 
====''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''====
[[File:PMTTYD Badges HPplus Powerplus.png|frame|left|HP Plus and Power Plus in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.]]
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', badges can instead be bought from the [[Lovely Howz of Badges]] in [[Rogueport]]. They can be traded for [[Star Piece]]s with [[Dazzle]] in [[Rogueport Sewers]]. [[Ms. Mowz]] can steal badges from enemies and enemies also occasionally drop badges when defeated.
{{br}}
 
====''[[Super Paper Mario]]''====
[[File:HP Plus and Power Plus.jpg|frame|left|HP Plus and Power Plus in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.]]
''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' eliminated the use of badges for there was no RPG style battling system. Although, there are two items that were previously badges in the past games: Power Plus and HP Plus; they retain their main purpose. Power Plus boosts the character's attack power by one and the HP Plus boosts the character's maximum Heart Points by five. But with the badges they had to be equipped and could be unequipped. In the most recent game, once it is used, it's permanent. The [[Happy Flower (item)|Happy Flower]], albeit distinctly different than its badge form, also appears in ''Super Paper Mario'' as an item.
{{br}}
===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', each bro can only wear one badge at a time. Badges are used to raise Mario or Luigi's Attack stat or their [[Bros. Point]]s. Certain badges also allow different effects to be used in battle, such as defense from spiked enemies, [[HP]] recovery, and attacks with different effects, among others. In the game, badges can be bought in shops all around the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] or dropped from defeated enemies.
 
====''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', Badges only give special effects to Mario, Luigi, [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]]. [[Clothing]] instead increases and decreases all the stats in this game. Badges can be found all around the Mushroom Kingdom of the past, dropped by enemies, in the present Kingdom's [[Item Shop]], or bought from [[Fawful]]. Like the game's predecessor, only one badge can be given to each bro at a time.
 
====''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]''====
Items known as Bros. Badges appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', in which they are used in battle by Mario and Luigi (but not Bowser). 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). Switching a badge during a battle will reset the gauge to zero. Some badges can be purchased at a shop in [[Toad Town]] and others can be found throughout the game.
 
====''[[Super Smash Bros. series]]''====
 
The [[Franklin Badge]] is an item in this series that lets the user deflect projectiles.
 
==List of Badges==
 
===''Paper Mario'' series Badges===
Badges can be obtained in a multitude of ways in the ''Paper Mario'' series. Most badges provide a special attack for Mario and consume BP (Badge Points) when equipped.


====''Paper Mario''====
====''Paper Mario''====
There are sixty-nine badges in ''Paper Mario'', but some appear more than once, making a total of 80 badges.

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.

=====Unused Badges of ''Paper Mario''=====
{{main|Paper Mario/Beta elements#Unused Badges}}


====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
Notes: There are now badges that are exactly the same as its regular counterpart only having a "P" on the end, signifying that these badges are for partners. Equipping more than one of the jump or hammer attack badges Mario has already obtained doubles FP requirements, but increases attack power by 1. When wearing both Double Dip badges, Mario can use Triple Dip for 8 FP. For each additional Charge badge, Mario or his partner gains an extra 1 attack power for the next turn, but the FP cost doubles. When both the W Emblem and L Emblem are equipped, Mario's clothes will change into Waluigi's clothes.
{{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.


Total number of badges: 85.
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. If the player somehow maxes out the badges in inventory during [[Elusive badge!]], Ms. Mowz leaves the [[Attack FX B]] badge in front of Lovely Howz of Badges.

<nowiki>*</nowiki>When using P-Down D-Up (P) the defense point added additionally decreases damage received from a defense-piercing attack by 1, whereas even Defend Plus doesn't protect against such an attack.

====''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.
{{br}}


<nowiki>***</nowiki>There is a common misconception that the Feeling Fine badges have an effect on [[Poison Mushroom#Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Poison Shroom]]s. In reality, all they do is stop the user from being [[Poison (status effect)|poison]]ed. There is a slight chance that the user will not be poisoned or lose half [[Heart Point|HP]], but instead will be fully healed. This is simply a random occurrence; wearing these badges makes no difference. This has been proven by extensive testing.

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]]).
'''<sup>10</sup>''' Inflict twice as much damage on Spiny enemies with Jump attacks.<br>

{{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.

Items known as "Bros. 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.

====''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.

Goompa, Paper Mario

Badges appear in the Super Mario franchise as items in the Paper Mario series and 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[edit]

Paper Mario series[edit]

Mario discovers the Close Call Badge from Paper Mario

Each badge requires a certain amount of 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 FP.

Paper Mario[edit]

Main article: 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 in Toad Town and from Merlow in exchange for 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 his house to see how many Badges he has collected.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

Main article: 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 tokens, and exchanged from Dazzle in Rogueport Underground with Star Pieces. 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 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. If the player somehow maxes out the badges in inventory during Elusive badge!, Ms. Mowz leaves the Attack FX B badge in front of Lovely Howz of Badges.

Super Paper Mario[edit]

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 and 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 Tokens each. Badges also get a reference in Ms. Mowz's Catch Card description.

Mario & Luigi series[edit]

Main article: 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 Sharpeas and Pestnuts, 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 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 Beanstones for an old Beanish in Beanbean Castle Town in exchange for a Bros. Rock).

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]

Main article: 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. 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's Shroom Shop, Gritzy Caves' Monty Mart, Toad Town's Gramma's Place and Peach's Castle Dungeon's Fawful's Bean 'n' Badge (for beans). 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[edit]

Items known as "Bros. 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[edit]

Badge Meter
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 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 Attacks 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 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 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.
