The '''Franklin Badge''' (alternatively '''FranklnBdge''') makes it's debut in ''[[EarthBound Beginnings]]''. Here it is a reflective badge capable of deflecting [[PK Beam|PK Beam γ]] attacks, which normally would result in an instant [[Status ailment|knock out]]. 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]]. | The '''Franklin Badge''' (alternatively '''FranklnBdge''') makes it's debut in ''[[EarthBound Beginnings]]''.

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

The real life Franklin Badge uses the traditional design based on the artwork shown in Encyclopedia Mother, with the exception that the lines override with the continents. While initially the background is white, it eventually tints yellow overtime due to age and can be sped-up with heavy UV exposure. | ||

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 thus the other party members are knocked out, which results in a one-on-one duel between Lucas and the Masked Man. Once the Masked Man regains his identity as [[Claus]] at the end if the fight, Claus 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.
