In the first ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'', the Grapple Beam is again used to swing across gaps and lava. After being lost in the explosion on Frigate [[Frigate Orpheon|''Orpheon'']], it can be recovered in [[Storage Depot B]] of [[Phazon Mines]] after solving a [[Spider Ball]] puzzle while fending off [[Metroid (species)|Metroid]]s. Once the upgrade is obtained, a small cannon-like periphery is attached to Samus's left arm. It fires much slower than ''Super Metroid's'' and other games' Grapple Beam. Samus can also use this upgrade to grapple onto [[Glider]]s, humble bioforms with a magnetic underside. | In the first ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'', the Grapple Beam is again used to swing across gaps and lava.

The Grapple Beam in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'' is identical both in function and appearance to ''Prime's'' Beam. It is obtained upon defeating the [[Grapple Guardian]] in [[Torvus Bog]]. | The Grapple Beam in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'' is identical both in function and appearance to ''Prime's'' Beam.

In ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'' the Grapple Beam received a set of [[upgrade]]s of its own. These include the [[Grapple Lasso]], Grapple Swing, [[Ship Grapple Beam]], [[Grapple Voltage]], and [[Hyper Grapple]]. All Grapple upgrades are used in conjunction with a special attachment to the left hand of Samus's [[Power Suit]] that constantly glows green around its openings. The color of the beam shot out is variable depending on the type: Yellow for the Grapple Lasso, light-blue for the Grapple Swing, gray for the Ship Grapple Beam, purple for the Grapple Voltage (red when releasing energy, blue when absorbing energy), and [[Phazon]]-colored for the Hyper Grapple. All Grapple upgrades, regardless of hue, have a static-like, electric look. Samus is able to hold onto the beams, probably because of her left hand's attachment. | In ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'' the Grapple Beam received a set of [[upgrade]]s of its own.
