The Badge Market is where you can spend Materials and Rupees to earn upgrades, called badges, for your characters. Typically the rarer the material used in the badge, the more powerful that badge is. Each character gets his or her own badge 'tree' that branches out into different powered badges. These powers range from adding different attacks to your repertoire of moves, or elongating a specific items power-up time. There are 3 types of badges; Attack, Defense, and Assist. Attack gives characters more power during battle, defense gives characters more defense during battle, and assist help characters with special abilities during battle.
