Capsule (Super Smash Bros. series)

Capsules are pink and white containers found in every installment of the Super Smash Bros. series. They are light and can be easily carried and thrown by any fighter, and releases a single item when opened. Any item can be released from a Capsule, regardless of its size. Alternatively, there is a 12.5% chance (1 in 8) that the Capsule will explode when contact with the ground or another character is made, causing damage comparable to that of a Bob-omb.

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.
