In ''Brawl'', you can put a Franklin Badge anywhere on your body which will protect you from projectiles.

Overview

The Franklin Badge is an item obtainable originating from the Mother (series). Named after Benjamin Franklin, it is capable of reflecting electricity-based attacks back at its caster.

In Brawl, you can put a Franklin Badge anywhere on your body which will protect you from projectiles. When the Franklin Badge is equipped, you can notice the badge emits light in a sparkling fashion, and it can be noticed by other players. However, the item will not stay on you the entire match, so players must be sure to notice when it disappears from their character's body or if the sparkling light has vanished.[1]

The Franklin Badge can't be broken like other reflectors, if a projectile overloads the Franklin Badge, it will simply either be absorbed or pass through the character.

Trophy Info

A badge you can put on to gain the ability to reflect all projectiles. It has exactly the same effect as other reflectors in the game, like the one Fox uses. In Earthbound, it was used to counter Thunder attacks. The lightning bolt on the badge is proof of its capacity. Its importance and usefulness made a deep impression on players.

  • Earthbound (1995)
  • Mother 3 (2006)
