'''Franklin Badge''' is an item in the [[wikibound:Mother (series)|''EarthBound/Mother'' series]], and an item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and will later appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''. In the ''EarthBound'' series, it could deflect electric based attacks back at the enemy, but its effects are slightly altered in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', once it is collected, it will automatically cling to the player that picked it up. The player will wear it like a normal badge. If a projectile is shot or thrown at a player wearing the Franklin Badge, it will automatically be deflected right back at the attacker. However, the effects will wear off after a while.


The appearance of the Franklin Badge in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' does not match with the appearance of the item in any of the original ''[[wikibound:EarthBound|EarthBound]]'' games. The badge has a background picture of the northern hemisphere on it, as well as a large picture that says ''EarthBound'''s Japanese name, ''[[wikibound:Mother|Mother]]''. In ''EarthBound'' it didn't have any appearance because like most RPG games ''EarthBound'' doesn't have sprites from each item, so instead the item is based off the appearance of the Franklin Badge promotional item that came with the ''Mother 1 + 2'' game that was only released in Japan. In the sequel ''[[wikibound:Mother 3|Mother 3]]'' the Franklin Badge reappears, and unlike ''EarthBound'', ''Mother 3'' has sprites for each item, but its appearance is completely different from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', looking like a yellow badge with a grey bolt.

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.''
