Unobtainable Badges[edit]
| Badge number | Japanese name | English name | Icon | BP needed | Effect/description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 00F0 | ハンマチャージ０ Hamma Chāji Zero Hammer Charge 0 |
|
1 | Uses 1 FP. Increases Mario's hammer attack by 1. Name, appearance, and effect suggest this would be obtained before Smash Charge. | |
| 00F6 | ジャンチャージ０ Jan Chāji Zero Jump-Charge 0 |
|
1 | Uses 1 FP. Increases Mario's jump attack by 1. Name, appearance, and effect suggest this would be obtained before Jump Charge. | |
| 0101 | イカリノパワー Ikari no Pawā Anger's Power |
 
|
8 | Causes Mario to assume a dark red tinge and angry pose during battles. Mario's portion of each turn is controlled by the CPU. The partner is controlled by the player. Mario's attack increases by 2, but his AI is quite rudimentary (enough so that he will jump on spiked enemies). Effects are much like the "berserk" status from other RPGs. | |
| 0102 | バッチリコマンド Batchiri Komando Perfect Command |
Right On! | 
|
8 | Activates all action commands perfectly and automatically. Causes a Japanese sign (バッチリ batchiri, which means perfect or right on the mark) to appear over the description of the action command. Note that it works for Mario, but not his partner. |
| 010E | ヒッサツフミイ Hissatsu Fumii Certain Kill Step |
|
1 | Uses two FP to execute a standard jump attack perfectly. | |
| 010F | ヒッサツナグーリ Hissatsu Nagūri Certain Kill Strike |
|
1 | Uses two FP to execute a standard hammer attack perfectly. | |
| 0110 | ハピハピーハート Hapi Hapī Hāto Happy Happy Heart |
|
10 | Like Happy Heart, but recovers three HP every turn instead of one. | |
| 0115 | スーパーゲットー Sūpā Gettō Super Get |
|
10 | Recovers more HP per hit than HP Drain, exact amount unclear. Possibly two HP per hit, up to a max of 5. Reduces attack power by 2 | |
| 0118 | オートツギツギー Ōto Tsugitsugī Auto Multibounce |
|
2 | Uses 5 FP, has the same effect as Multibounce, but no action command is required. | |
| 0119 | トテモセツヤーク Totemo Setsuyāku Total Saving |
|
10 | Reduces the FP consumed by every move by 2. It won't make a move free. Note that it stacks on top of the 2 Flower Saver Badges. | |
| 0122 | バゴーンジャンプ Bagōn Janpu Bagōn Jump |
|
2 | Uses 4 FP to do 4, 5, or 6 damage to 1 enemy, depending on which set of boots Mario has. The action command, which is the normal jump action command, increases damage by 1. Appearance suggests the Badge would "belong" between Power Jump and Mega Jump (having three spikes on the bottom, whereas the others have two and four). | |
| 0125 | バゴーンナグーリ Bagōn Nagūri Bagōn Strike |
|
2 | Uses 4 FP to do 4, 5, or 6 damage to 1 enemy, depending on which hammer Mario has. The action command, which is the normal hammer action command, increases damage by 1. Appearance suggests the Badge would "belong" between Power Smash and Mega Smash (being the same name and color as the above jump badge). | |
| 0127 | ガツーンナグーリ Gatsūn Nagūri Force Strike ドカーンハンマー dokān hanmā Bang Hammer |
Power Smash/Mega Smash | 
|
3 | Called Power Smash in the field, Mega Smash in battle. Uses six FP to do Mega Smash. Its in-game description changes to match its name. Unused badge #128 is a duplicate of this badge. |
| 012A | スーパーネガーウ Sūpā Negāu Super Deep Focus |
|
5 | Appears to be a different design for Deep Focus. It seems to function exactly like Deep Focus. For some reason, when the Deep Focus Badge is revealed from the red ? Block in front of Bowser's Castle, it uses this design. When collected, however, the design is reverted to normal. | |
| 012B | ミニミニナグーリ Minimini Nagūri Minimini Strike |
Shrink Smash | 
|
1 | Uses 2 FP to create a hammer-based Shrink Stomp. Its description, notably, says it uses only 1 FP. |
| 012C | コウラワーリ Kōra Wāri Shell Crack |
|
3 | Uses 6 FP to execute a normal(?) hammer attack. | |
| 012D | カイデーン Kaidēn Initiation |
|
0 | Effect unknown. Possibly not a Badge. | |
| 0131 | ジシーンジャンプ Jishīn Janpu Earthquake Jump |
|
2 | Uses 2 FP. "(NOT USED ANY LONGER!)" appears at the bottom of the screen in place of an action command. Mario jumps up and down repeatedly in the center of the enemy side of the field. All ground enemies are hit for 1 damage each time he lands. The player must press A every time Mario hits the ground to keep him jumping and racking up damage. | |
| 0149 | ピッキョローンＦ Pikkyorōn Efu Pikkyorōn F |
Attack FX F | 
|
0 | Changes the sound effects from Mario's hammer and jump attacks. The sound effect is the laughter of flowers in Forever Forest. Unused badges #0151, #0152, #153, and #154 are duplicates of this badge. |
| 0150 | ゲンキゲンキ Genki Genki Healthy Healthy |
|
1 | Prevents poison and dizziness. Appearance and effect suggest this is a lesser variant of Feeling Fine. |
