"bad" or "badly" ?

Which one of these two is correct?

I want this so bad.

I want this so badly.

I've googled and found that "I want this badly" sounds logical, but if there is another adv (so/too/very), should I change to "bad"?

SORRY! I mean use "badly" by strict grammar.

Thing is, "bad" <em>can</em> be an adverb, as a matter of fact, which means the same as "badly", like the "quick", "quickly" stuff. But use "bad" when you want to make your writing sound serious (I mean scholaristically), in an exam or something.

Badly is correct. As you are describing a verb (want), you should use the appropriate adverb (badly). 'Bad' is an adjective, and can only describe a noun.
