| | ''A badge you can put on to gain the ability to reflect all projectiles. It has exactly the same effect as other reflectors in the game, like the one Fox uses. In Mother, it was used to deflect PK Beam when fighting Starman Jr. In Earthbound, it was used to counter Thunder attacks. The lightning bolt on the badge is proof of its capacity. Its importance and usefulness made a deep impression on players.'' | ||

{{Flag|ntsc}} ''While not the most flashy of accessories, the Franklin Badge is actually incredibly useful. When wearing it, any projectiles launched your way will be reflected harmlessly off you. There is no downside, so grab this as soon as it appears. Don't get too confident, though—the bonus doesn't last long.'' | |||

{{ | {{Flag|pal}} ''The Franklin Badge might not be flashy, but it's an impressive piece of kit. This tiny thing acts as a reflector shield for any projectiles fired your way. With no particular drawbacks to consider either, it's a real boon if you can snag it. It will run out, though, so don't get careless!'' | ||

==Origin== | |||
The Franklin Badge first appeared as an item in ''[[Mother]]''. It was 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 can be found from a box in {{s|wikibound|Duncan's Factory}}. It was used to reflect [[wikibound:PK Beam|PK Beam γ]], normally a one hit knock-out attack, making certain fights easier. It also was an item in ''{{b|EarthBound|game}}'' and ''[[Mother 3]]'', but was used to reflect all thunder attacks, most commonly [[PK Thunder]], which made it an important item in both games. Franklin Badges in ''Brawl'' reflect any projectiles directed towards the one wearing it. | |||
When ''Mother'' was first released, an official strategy guide also was released and it contained a list of items that are in the game along with a picture of each item. This included the Franklin Badge; however, the Franklin Badge simply had a smiley (refer to the gallery below for the image). 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. When ''Mother 3'' was released, a limited edition "Deluxe Box" was also released and contained the ''Mother 3'' cartridge, a special edition of a ''Game Boy Micro'', and a Franklin Badge pin. The Franklin Badge's design in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'' 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. | |||
