The W Emblem is a badge in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It can be bought from Charlieton for 360 coins in the original or 432 coins in the remake. 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, and his shoes green. 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, with his hat and shirt turned purple, his overalls becoming black, and his shoes becoming orange.
