The Franklin Badge, as it appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

The Franklin Badge is an item in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It was revealed on Smash Bros. DOJO!! on August 10, 2007.[1]

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. 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.[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.
