Franklin Badge is an item in the Earthbound/Mother series, and an item in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In the Earthbound series, it could deflect electric based attacks back at the enemy, but its effects will be 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 them. However, the effects will wear off after a while.

Trivia

• The Franklin Badge is named after one of The United States of America's founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin, who discovered the power of electricity.
• The badge has a background picture of the northern hemisphere on it, as well as a large picture that says Earthbound's Japanese name, Mother.
