The '''Franklin Badge''' (alternatively '''FranklnBdge''') | The '''Franklin Badge''' (alternatively '''FranklnBdge''') makes it's debut in [[EarthBound Beginnings]]. Here it game only capable of deflecting [[PK Beam|PK Beam γ]] attacks, which normally would result in an instant [[Status ailment|death]]. Unique to this game is that there are 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]]. It is described as being a reflective badge worn by {{wp|Benjamin Franklin}} when he was [[wikipedia:kite experiment|experimenting with lightning]]. | ||
When Mother first released in Japan, an official guidebook was also released. Inside contained a list of every item in the game along with an illustration of said item. The Franklin Badge in this guide was depicted as a simple yellow pin with a smiley face. Printed on the sleeve of this guide was an advertisement for a contest: the contest was to cut out a seal from the guide and send it to the publisher. Those who entered the contest had a chance at winning one of 200 real Franklin Badge pins. The real life Franklin Badge uses the traditional design based on the artwork shown in Encyclopedia Mother, however the background was tinted gold instead of pure white. | |||

Only one Franklin Badge is found in EarthBound, being given to [[Ness]] by [[Paula]] before he faces [[Mr. Carpainter]]. When Mr. Carpainter attack' s Ness with a lightning attack, his Franklin Badge reflects it back to 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. | |||

Because it reflects all lightning-based attacks it is not limited to only protecting the party from PK Thunder, but it can also reflect attacks such as the "crashing boom bang" attack (the equivalent to PK Thunder β). | |||
The Franklin Badge also appears in the [[EarthBound Player's Guide]], where it is shown it as a purple badge with a yellow circle and lightning bolt. | |||

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 | {{spoiler}} | ||

It is also important to the plot of the game: When the [[Masked Man]] ambushes Lucas and his friends at the sixth needle' s location, he attacks the party with lightning. Lucas's Franklin Badge sends the attack back at the Masked Man before engaging a fight. Later at the end of the game, the same event occurs when Lucas and his party reach the final needle, however only Lucas is protected by the badge and the others are knocked out, which results in a one-on-one fuel between Lucas and the Masked Man. Once the Masked Man regains his identity as [[Claus]] at the end if the fight, he fires one final powerful lightning attack which gets reflected by Lucas's Franklin Badge back to him, which kills Claus in the process. | |||
Mother 3 also came with a limited edition deluxe box which came with the game itself, a special Mother 3 themed [[Game Boy Micro]] (along with a clothbag to protect it) and also a Franklin Badge pin. This version looks the same as the real life badges for Mother, although the background is now white instead of gold. | |||
