Power Beam

From Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki

Samus Aran's Power Beam is her basic weapon. It comes with her Power Suit. The Power Beam does little damage to enemies, although it can easily kill the first ones in the games. Over the course of the Metroid games, Samus has received various upgrades to her beam:

• Long Beam
• Spazer Beam
• Wide Beam
• Wave Beam
• Ice Beam
• Plasma Beam
• Charge Beam
• Dark Beam
• Light Beam
• Annihilator Beam
• Nova Beam

Also, if Samus is wearing a certain Power Suit at a certain time, she can absorb things in her environment and transfer the power to her beam. This ability is demonstrated in Super Metroid, when she gains the powerful Hyper Beam to defeat Mother Brain, and in Metroid Prime and in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes when she acquires the Phazon Beam to defeat the Metroid Prime.

In Metroid Prime Hunters, Samus's beam has a rapid-fire effect. It fires four shots at once, a fifth beam a second later, then begins to charge.

[edit] Cheat Beams

There are also three semi-functional glitch beams in Super Metroid. These can be accessed by collecting the required beams and using a glitch to activate Spazer and Plasma simultaneously.

• Spacetime Beam, a combination of Ice, Spazer, and Plasma
• Murder Beam, a combination of all beams available: Charge, Wave, Ice, Spazer, and Plasma
• Chainsaw Beam, a combination of Wave, Spazer, and Plasma
• Strange Beam, a combination of Wave, Ice, and Spazer. Take the morphball and click it and press right. and keep trying till a thing next to the Charge says Ice.
