Capsules are stat-increasing items in EarthBound Beginnings and EarthBound which permanently raise a specific stat of one party member. They can only be obtained through opening certain presents, so the amount of Capsules are limited.
Capsules will permanently increase a stat by 3 to 5 points. There are five different types of capsules, and a total of nine capsules, that can be found throughout the game. The capsules can also be lost to enemies with the ability to steal items, such as Crows, Gorillas, Seagulls and Oh-Mooks.
The Fight Capsule (ファイトカプセル Fight Capsule), abbreviated FightCapsul in-game, increases one party member's fight. There is a total of two Fight Capsules present in the game; one being in the upper right presents in the room in Queen Mary's Castle, where only one of six presents is openable, and one being located in the Western portion of Sweet's Little Factory.
"Take this capsule to raise your FIGHT."
The Force Capsule (フォースカプセル Force Capsule), abbreviated ForceCapsul in-game, increases one party member's force. There is only one Force Capsule in the entire game, which is located in the most Northern point of Duncan's Factory.
"Take this capsule to raise your FORCE."
The Physical Capsule (フィジカルカプセル Physical Capsule), abbreviated PhysicalCap in-game, increases one party member's 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.
"Take this capsule to raise your STRENGTH."
The Quick Capsule (スピードカプセル Speed Capsule), abbreviated QuickCapsul in-game, increases one party member's 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 the 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.
"Take this capsule to raise your SPEED."
The Wisdom Capsule (ウィスダムカプセル Wisdom Capsule), abbreviated Wisdom Caps in-game, increases one party member's wisdom. There is only one obtainable Wisdom Capsule in the game, which can be found in the Southern portion of Duncan's Factory.
"Take this capsule to raise your WISDOM."
Stat Capsules can now only increase a given stat by only 1. Like in EarthBound Beginnings there are five different types of Capsules that can only be found by opening presents. Additionally, the Rock candy functions as essentially a randomized version of a stat capsule (which, unlike the capsules, can have its effect increased by condiments).
Guts Capsules (ガッツカプセル Guts Capsule) will permanently increase a character's guts. One can be found in the Gold Mine guarded by a Guardian Digger.
IQ Capsules (ＩＱカプセル IQ Capsule) will permanently increase a character's IQ. Their locations are: the Southern-Eastmost room in Belch's Factory, the Gold Mine guarded by a Guardian Digger, the second floor of the Dungeon Man (when exiting for the first time), in Deep Darkness by the bird where the Photo Man appears, and in Stonehenge Base.
Luck Capsules (ラックカプセル Luck Capsule) will permanently increase a character's luck. One is located in the center portion of Peaceful Rest Valley, and another in the Gold Mine.
Speed Capsules (スピードカプセル Speed Capsule) will permanently increase a character's speed. They are located in the Pyramid, Stonehenge Base and Fire Spring
