Badge

Badges are used in Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. In all four games they are equipped as accessories.

Paper Mario Series
Badges can be obtained in a multitude of ways in the Paper Mario series. Most badges provide a special attack for Mario and consume BP (Badge Points) when equipped.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Notes: Equipping more than one of the jump or hammer attack badges Mario has already obtained doubles FP requirements, but increases attack power by 1. When wearing both Double Dip badges, Mario can use Triple Dip for 8 FP. For more than one Charge badge, Mario or his partner gains an extra 3 attack power for 2 FP for the next turn. When both the W Emblem and L Emblem are equiped, Mario will wear Waluigi's clothes.

Total number of badges: 85.

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga
In this game, badges do not provide new attacks. However, they do increase POW and BP, and sometimes have other special features. BP is not Badge Points, but Bros. Points, and serves a completely different function. Each brother can only wear one badge at a time.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
In the second installment, the setup is the same, except that badges only add special effects to each of the four brothers. Clothing increases and decreases all the stats in this game.
