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]].

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, 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.
