The '''Franklin Badge''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|フランクリンバッヂ|Furankurin Baddji}}''' in ''{{vg|Mother}}'' and ''[[Mother 3]]'', '''{{tt|フランクリンバッジ|Furankurin Bajji}}''' in [[EarthBound|Mother 2]], both meaning ''Franklin Badge'') is a recurring item in the {{se|EarthBound}} series, and also makes an appearance in ''{{se|Super Smash Bros.}}'' series. Its functions vary depending on the game that it appears in, however it's primary purpose is to reflect [[PK Thunder]] back at the user.

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).
