==Origin==
[[File:Mother 3 FB.gif|thumb|left|The Franklin Badge reflecting an electric attack in ''Mother 3''.]]
The Franklin Badge first appeared as an item in ''[[Mother]]'' (later released outside of Japan as ''EarthBound Beginnings''), in which it is given to the main protagonist, {{s|wikibound|Ninten}}, after saving his friend {{s|wikibound|Pippi}} from {{s|wikibound|PseudoZombi}}s in the {{s|wikibound|South Cemetery}}. Another one is found in a box in {{s|wikibound|Duncan's Factory}}. In ''EarthBound Beginnings'' it is used to reflect [[wikibound:PK Beam|PK Beam γ]], normally a one-hit knock-out attack, making certain fights easier. It is described as having been used by {{iw|Wikipedia|Benjamin Franklin}} during his experiments with lightning. It later appears an item in ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'' when [[Paula]] gives it to [[Ness]] to protect him from the lightning attacks from {{s|wikibound|Carpainter}}. In ''EarthBound'' it instead reflects all thunder attacks, most commonly [[PK Thunder]]. It once again appears in ''[[Mother 3]]'', where it first appears as the Courage Badge, which when cleaned by a [[Mr. Saturn]] reveals it is actually the Franklin Badge. It serves the same purpose as in ''EarthBound'' where it reflects lightning-based attacks, and thus the Franklin Badge is a very important item in all three ''EarthBound'' games. In ''Smash'', the Franklin Badge reflects all projectiles, not just electric-based ones.
When ''Mother'' was first released in Japan, an official strategy guide was also released, which contained a list of items that are in the game along with a picture of each item; the Franklin Badge was depicted with simply having a smiley. The strategy guide also contained a contest that involved the reader cutting out a seal and sending it to the publisher. Out of everybody who sent in a seal, two-hundred randomly selected people won a Franklin Badge pin. Franklin Badges were also packaged in the limited edition Deluxe Box of ''Mother 3''. The Franklin Badge's design in ''Smash'' is based on the Franklin Badge pins that were handed out for the official ''Mother'' strategy guide contest and the Franklin Badge pins included in the ''Mother 3'' Deluxe Box.

The Franklin Badge is an item originating from the [[EarthBound (universe)|''Mother''/''EarthBound'']] series. Named after [[Wikipedia:Benjamin Franklin|Benjamin Franklin]], it is capable of reflecting electricity-based attacks back at its caster.
 
The player can put a Franklin Badge anywhere on their body, which will protect them from projectiles. When the Franklin Badge is equipped, the player can notice the badge emits light in a sparkling fashion, and it can be noticed by other players. However, the item will not stay on the player the entire match, so players must be sure to notice when it disappears from their character's body or if the sparkling light has vanished.<ref name="dojo" />

The Franklin Badge can't be broken like other reflectors; if a projectile overloads the Franklin Badge, it will simply either be absorbed or pass through the character.

While the Franklin Badge itself does not have a [[spirit]], the item appears as skill which equips the player with it at the start of a match.
