The '''W Emblem''' is a [[badge]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. It can be bought from [[Charlieton]] for 360 [[coin]]s. If [[Mario]] equips the badge, it changes the color scheme of his clothes to resemble [[Wario]]'s and it also resembles his yellow costume from the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, turning his hat and shirt yellow and his overalls purple and his shoes green. If combined with the [[L Emblem]], it makes Mario's clothes resemble [[Waluigi]]'s having his hat and shirt turned purple, his overalls becoming black and his shoes becoming orange.
The '''W Emblem''' is a [[badge]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]]. It can be bought from [[Charlieton]] for 360 [[coin]]s in the original or 432 coins in the remake. It can be sold for 150 coins. If [[Mario]] equips the badge, it changes the color scheme of his clothes to resemble [[Wario]]'s, turning his hat and shirt yellow, his overalls purple, his shoes green, and his emblem blue.

In the remake, if W Emblem is equipped during the first battle with [[Doopliss]] when he steals Mario's name and body, his Mario disguise retains the badge's color scheme for the rest of Chapter 4, even if the badge is unequipped at any point before Mario gets his name and body back. Dialogue from certain [[Twilighter]]s is also changed to describe W Emblem's color scheme rather than Mario's usual colors.

The W Emblem is a badge in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its Nintendo Switch remake. It can be bought from Charlieton for 360 coins in the original or 432 coins in the remake. It can be sold for 150 coins. If Mario equips the badge, it changes the color scheme of his clothes to resemble Wario's, turning his hat and shirt yellow, his overalls purple, his shoes green, and his emblem blue. This look somewhat mirrors Mario's yellow costume from the Super Smash Bros. series (excluding Super Smash Bros. Ultimate). If combined with the L Emblem, Mario's clothes resemble Waluigi's, turning his hat and shirt purple, his overalls black, his shoes orange, and his emblem yellow.

In the remake, if W Emblem is equipped during the first battle with Doopliss when he steals Mario's name and body, his Mario disguise retains the badge's color scheme for the rest of Chapter 4, even if the badge is unequipped at any point before Mario gets his name and body back. Dialogue from certain Twilighters is also changed to describe W Emblem's color scheme rather than Mario's usual colors. This also applies if W Emblem is equipped when fighting Doopliss in the Palace of Shadow.
