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. | When ''Mother'' first released in Japan, an official guidebook was also released.

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. | Only one Franklin Badge is found in EarthBound, being given to [[Ness]] by [[Paula]] before he faces [[Mr. Carpainter]].

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. | 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.
