I've been recording all the available health upgrades in the game and the ones I've found will only amount to a hp count of 98 (95hp in upgrades plus 3hp in starting health) rather than 100. So I am missing 2hp worth of upgrades (one +2 or two +1).

Here's what I have so far:

Any ideas as to where I can find that remaining 2hp?

I don't believe you can get two extra hp.

I beat everything with 62 life in the end. I think it's possible.

I think what Andwhy is trying to say is that hes wondering where the extra 2 hp bonuses are, not if he can beat it without them.

And sorry, I can't help you with this as I have never played cs3D.

I have found no new weapons as of yet. Also, it is called prinny's CAP, not hat. Inner Wall and the secret grave are the only two new areas. I have also found that 82 is the max health outside of hell. In hell, it is 96. There are now two life capsules in hell, and destroying a statue in the statue room and reading the new plaque gives you plus 1 each. -Lord Shadow

And I have written down the locations of all those heath upgrades in the link in the first page. I'm just asking if anyone has encountered a health upgrade that ISN'T on that list. You don't have to have gotten 100hp to have found the one or two upgrades I missed.

I'll summarise. I've gotten:
First Cave: The first cave life capsule and the extra one on revisiting.
Mimiga Village: The Yamashita Farm capsule and the Arthur's house basement capsule.
Egg Corridor: The start of egg corridor capsule, the Cthulhu's Abode capsule, the Egg Corridor Detour capsule.
Grasstown/Bushlands: The capsule near the Big Jelly, the one left of the Power Room, and in the Execution Chamber.
Sand Zone: The bonus for beating Curly, the three bonuses for finding the dogs, the sand zone top half capsule, and the one next to Mick's chest.
Labyrinth: The junkyard capsule, the Labyrinth Shop capsule, the Labyrinth pit capsule, the 4th floor "Labyrinth Fight" capsule.
Waterway: The capsule before the Jellies and the hp bonus for taking Curly with you.
Outer Wall: The capsule near the top.
Plantation: The top-left corner capsule and the one you get from Hajime (the dog).
Inner Wall: The capsule below the moving block stack.
Balcony: The capsule in the upper-rightmost corner and that one you find in Falling Tower.
Hell: The B1F capsule, the B3F capsule and the four statue bonuses.

I need to know what I haven't gotten.

I believe the italicized areas should give you a good idea where you messed up, check them out if you can. (You're planning on making a new account up until the planatation, correct...? Anybody?)

I actually listed those, just not directly by name because no-one ever remembers what letter corresponds to what section of the labyrinth anyway. Thanks anyway.

I have a save at plantation, one before hell, and another at pre-Labyrinth Egg Corridor.

I'd like to point out that I'm 96% certain that the bonus for beating Curly is in fact a bonus for saying you are not going to kill the Colons. That should probably be verified.

Life Capsules are an item in Cave Story, usually placed in a hard-to-reach or hidden area, that will award the player between one or five extra HP. This number is not determined by the progress throughout the game. If all of the Life Capsules are grabbed, the maximum amount of HP is 50 (55 if the Blood Stained Sanctuary is accessed).
In Cave Story 3D, there is a gradual increase in the amount of possible HP. Most of the new HP is granted to the player by interacting with NPCs, such as when returning a dog to Jenka, Quote receives more HP. Also, there are more Life Capsules bringing the maximim amount of HP to 84, or 98 if the player chooses to go to Blood Stained Sanctuary.
Apparently the Wiki has troubles as well?

Not sure if anyone missed these. Just going to throw them out there. There's a Life Capsule when you return to First Cave for the Spur. It can be easily missed if you're not getting the Spur. There's also another in the Labyrinth where the Professor falls. If you use the booster to fly up and to the right where the healing box is there's a Life Capsule obscured by the 3D effects behind the wall.
Gamefaq forums says otherwise, however.
