==Description==
The '''Absolutely Safe Capsule''' is a device in ''[[Mother 3]]''. It was designed by [[Dr. Andonuts]] and the [[Mr. Saturn]], for use by [[Porky Minch|King P]], to protect him from any threats outside the capsule. The Absolutely Safe Capsule is put to use by Porky when his [[bed mecha]] fails during the penultimate boss battle of ''Mother 3'', wherein he discovers its ultimate flaw: once sealed, the capsule cannot be re-opened. While Porky is indeed "''absolutely safe,''" he is trapped in the machine forever, doomed to spend eternity in isolation. Shortly after, Dr Andonuts arrives confessing his sympathy for the tyrannical child, as in his own words, "''. . . All he can do now is spend eternity inside the capsule, in absolute safety.''" During and after the battle, all Porky can do is "''stick his tongue at you''", as this does nothing but taunt [[Lucas]]. Because Porky could not escape (nor could he take damage), the battle was over. Dr. Andonuts also stated that the Absolutely Safe Capsule was not meant to protect whoever was inside from the outside, but to protect what was outside from what was inside.

The Absolutely Safe Capsule is a device in Mother 3. It was designed by Dr. Andonuts and the Mr. Saturns for Porky Minch to protect himself from any threats outside the capsule.

Description

After 'defeating' Master Porky during the penultimate boss battle of Mother 3, his bed mecha fails, and he summons the Absolutely Safe Capsule. Dr. Andonuts reveals that the capsule can never be reopened and that Porky will be absolutely safe inside the device forever, doomed to spend eternity in isolation.

During and after the battle, all Porky can do is "stick his tongue at you", as this does nothing but taunt Lucas and his companions. Because Porky could neither attack nor take damage, the game states that the battle, by definition, is over. Dr. Andonuts also states that the Absolutely Safe Capsule was not meant to protect whoever was inside from the outside, but to protect what was outside from what was inside.

For some reason, Porky seems to be amused inside the capsule; when the player accidentally stumbles upon it at the end of Mother 3, the capsule "wobbles with glee." It is highly possible Porky does not know or understand his fate at this point in time, although it has been hinted that being alone in the universe, isolated from everyone who "doesn't like him", is the closest thing to paradise Porky can conceive of.

In an interview with Shigesato Itoi, he stated that when the world ends 5.5 billion years later, Porky would still be alive. He ended the statement saying that "Porky is truly a poem in himself."[1]
