Capsule: Difference between revisions

'''Capsules''' ({{tt|'''カプセル'''|Kapuseru}} ''Capsule'') are stat incriminating items in [[EarthBound Beginnings]] and [[EarthBound]] which permanently increase a specific [[Status|stat]] of a party member. They can only be obtained through opening certain [[Present|presents]], so the amount of capsules are limited.

The '''Fight Capsule''' ({{tt|'''ファイトカプセル'''|Faito Kapuseru}} ''Fight Capsule''), alternatively '''FightCapsul''', increases one party member's [[Status#Fight|fight]]. There is a total of two Fight Capsules present in the game; one being in the upper right present in the room in [[Queen Mary]]'s [[Queen Mary's Castle|Castle]], where only one of six presents is openable, and one being located in the western portion of [[Sweet's Little Factory]].

The '''Force Capsule''' ({{tt|'''フォースカプセル'''|Fōsu Kapuseru}} ''Force Capsule''), alternatively '''ForceCapsul''', increases one party member's [[Status#Force|force]]. There is only one Force Capsule in the entire game, which is located in the most northern point of [[Duncan's Factory]].

The '''Physical Capsule''' ({{tt|'''フィジカルカプセル'''|Fijikaru Kapuseru}} ''Physical Capsule''), alternatively '''PhysicalCap''', increases one party member's [[Status#Strength|strength]]. One is located in the southern portion of [[Sweet's Little Factory]], and one is located in the southern portion of [[Duncan's Factory]].

The '''Quick Capsule''' ({{tt|'''スピードカプセル'''|Supīdo Kapuseru}} ''Speed Capsule''), alternatively '''QuickCapsul''', increases one party member's [[Status#Speed|speed]]. There are three Quick Capsules present in the game, which makes it the Capsule with the highest frequency. One is located in the eastern portion of [[Sweet's Little Factory]], one in southern portion of [[Duncan's Factory]], and one can be obtained from a monkey in the southern portion of the lower floor of the [[Ruins of Desert]].

The '''Wisdom Capsule''' ({{tt|'''ウィスダムカプセル'''|Uisudamu Kapuseru}} ''Wisdom Capsule''), alternatively '''Wisdom Caps''', increases one party member's [[Status#Wisdom|wisdom]]. There is only one obtainable Wisdom Capsule in the game, which can be found in the southern portion of [[Duncan's Factory]].
