Badges

Hey, bud! Rowf, the owner of the Badge Shop in Toad Town, here! There are several badges in Paper Mario that will give Mario all sorts of abilities! Each takes a certain number of "Badge Points", and Mario can equip as many badges he wants, as long as he has enough Badge Points. Remember that badges don't take effect unless they're equipped!
Here are all the badges in the game. There are some badges you can find multiples of, and the locations of all the multiples are included too! Just remember that all the BEST badges can be bought from me, ok bud?
