==[[Mother (video game)|Mother]]==
==In {{vg|Mother}}==
Two Franklin Badges are found in Mother, the first being given to [[Ninten]] by [[Pippi]] after rescuing her, with the second being found in [[Duncan's Factory]]. If in a character's inventory, it automatically reflects [[PK Beam|PK Beam γ]] back to the enemy, allowing the character to survive an otherwise automatically fatal PSI attack.

The '''Franklin Badge''' (alternatively '''FranklnBdge''') is in the original {{vg|Mother}} game only capable of deflecting [[PK Beam|PK Beam γ]] attacks, which normally would result in an instant [[Status ailment|death]]. A total of two Franklin Badges can be found in the game. One is obtained from [[Pippi]] by answering her questions in a certain order, and one is found in a [[Present|present]] in the northern area of [[Duncan's Factory]].

Only one Franklin Badge is found in EarthBound, being given to [[Ness]] by [[Paula]] before he faces [[Mr. Carpainter]]. Unlike in the previous game, it reflects all lightning-based attacks back to the enemy if in a person's inventory, instead of PK Beam γ.

The Franklin Badge is given to [[Lucas]] indirectly by [[Flint]] in [[Chapter 7]], originally as a '''Courage Badge'''. However, after giving it to a [[Mr. Saturn]] in [[Saturn Valley]] for inspection and cleaning, it is revealed that the Courage Badge was merely an old and rusted Franklin Badge. It is given back to Lucas after he meets [[Ionia]] in [[Argilla Pass]], and stays in the key items section of the inventory, as opposed to being able to stay in an individual's inventory. Because of this, it will only deflect lightning for Lucas. It otherwise behaves similarly as it does in EarthBound.
