Trivia

 * The Safety Badge and Safety Ring are accessories in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. In this game, they act as a combination of the Safety Bit and the Ribbon. The Badge and Ring both protect against all status ailments, but because instant death is considered a status ailment in this game, they prevent it as well.
