Badges

Badges give Mario and his companions special abilities and instill other special effects as well. Each Badge costs a certain number of Badge Points to equip, and Mario can equip as many Badges as he has Badge Points.
A Badge's "cost" indicates how much money you can sell the Badge for at the Lovely Howz of Badges. Even Badges that cannot be bought there normally can be sold there. If you sell a Badge there, you can buy it back for twice its "cost". At any given time, there will be five Badges on sale there, which sell for 30% off.
Many Badges are "stackable", meaning that if you equip more than one of them, the effects will double (For example, two HP Plus Badges will raise Mario's HP by 10 instead of just 5). For Badges that give special abilities, this makes the attack stronger, but doubles the amount of FP required too.
For more detailed descriptions on the attacks Mario can gain from Badges, go the Mario's Character Page.
