There are a total of 85 different badges in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and 87 in the Nintendo Switch remake.

Badges that have a "P" at the end of their names are identical to their non-"P" counterparts, but affect Mario's partner. Equipping more than one of the same badge doubles the FP cost of the move for each extra badge equipped. Equipping more than one of the same attack badge increases the attack's power by 1 and/or increases the duration of the applied status effect by 1. Equipping multiple Charge badges gives Mario or his partner 1 extra power when charging. When both the W Emblem and L Emblem are equipped, Mario's clothes will change into Waluigi's clothes.

1 - Like other piercing attacks, Iron Clefts are immune to this.

2 - There is a common misconception that the Feeling Fine badges have an effect on Poison Shrooms. In reality, all they do is stop the user from being poisoned. There is a slight chance that the user will not be poisoned or lose half HP, but instead will be fully healed. This is simply a random occurrence; wearing these badges makes no difference. This has been proven by extensive testing.

3 - All badges that can be stolen from an enemy can also be dropped after battle; the reverse is not true.

Trivia[edit]

  • The Japanese version is missing the number of obtained/total badges in the pause menu's Badges screen.
  • The Official Nintendo Player's Guide states on pages 61 and 108 that Damage Dodge P can be found in Pirate's Grotto, which is only true for the Japanese version of the game.
