Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is a remake of the classic game from the GameCube. The game follows Mario and his friends as they search for the Thousand-Year Door and the treasure behind it before anyone else can reach it.

In the game, Mario can find Badges that will help him and his friends out. Some will help his stats, some may give him new attacks, and others may help him in battles. If players find a Badge with a P at the end of the name, those Badges will help his partners. Here are all of the Badges and where to find them.
