The Franklin Badge is an item which appears in the third installment of the Super Smash Bros. series, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It originally appeared in all the titles of the Mother series. Until it wears off or falls off its user, it reflects any opponent's projectiles, energy-based or not. As the item will not stay on a character for the duration of a match, players must be sure to notice when it disappears from their character's body. The Franklin Badge cannot be broken like other reflectors; if a projectile overloads the Franklin Badge, it will simply either be absorbed or pass through the character.
