Mario discovers the Close Call Badge.
Badges are items used by Mario in Paper Mario, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. In all four games they are equipped as accessories, similar to the weapons, armors and accessories from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, the main difference being that, while these items serve to raise Mario's stats, not all the badges raise Mario's stats. The badges instead have many different uses, from prolonging Mario's Spin Dash to changing the sound effects of Mario's hammer and jump attacks. Some badges also allow Mario to use special attacks with the hammer and shoes that use FP.
Each badge requires a certain amount of BP to be equipped, which means that Mario can't equip all the badges at the same time. The more useful a badge is the more BP it requires.
Badges can be found scattered in all the Mushroom Kingdom, but some particular badges can be only bought from Rowf in Toad Town and from Merlow in exchange for Star Pieces.
Paper Mario Series
Badges can be obtained in a multitude of ways in the Paper Mario series. Most badges provide a special attack for Mario and consume BP (Badge Points) when equipped.

Trivia
- Super Paper Mario eliminates the use of badges for there is no RPG style battling system. Although, there are two items that were previously badges in the past games: Power Plus and HP Plus, they retain their main purpose. Power Plus boosts the character's attack power by one and the HP Plus boosts the character's Heart Points by five. But with the badges they had to be equipped and could be unequipped. In the most recent game, once it is used, it's permanent.
