Capsule

Capsules are pink and white containers that appear as an item in every Super Smash Bros. game. They are lightweight and can be easily carried and thrown by any fighter. When a capsule hits a fighter or the ground, it opens and releases an item. Any item can be released from a Capsule, regardless of its size. Alternatively, there is a 12.5% (1 in 8) chance that the Capsule explodes when contact with the ground or another character is made, causing damage comparable to that of a Bob-omb.

There is a Capsule trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the Container trophy is only obtainable in Trophy Rush.

Trivia

 * In the Developer Direct video for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, it was shown that the Capsules retained their original design from the previous Super Smash Bros. games. However, it was later shown in a Miiverse announcement by Masahiro Sakurai that they have received a slight redesign, being shorter and wider.
