The badge selection screen of Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
Badges in Super Mario Bros. Wonder are collectable and equippable items that are found from completion of a Badge Challenge or bought from Poplin Shops. Prince Florian equips these items to assist the players in levels. Players can equip a badge before starting a course or losing a life. "Prince's Choice" randomizes the badge chosen, which can be selected by pressing 
on the Badges selection screen.[1]
The first badge, Parachute Cap, is obtained from Badge House in Pipe-Rock Plateau. The final badge, Sound Off, is unlocked from completing the final level in the game, The Final-Final Test Badge Marathon. The badge replaces the default sound effects in the game with voiced al capella sound effects. If players obtain every badge, the game adds a medal to the save file.
List of badges
There are twenty-four badges, including nine Action Badges that add new abilities to the characters, eleven Boost Badges grant passive benefits to players, and four Expert Badges, which grant an advanced skill intended for more experienced players.[2][3]
