The Grapple Beam is a useful upgrade in the Metroid series. It allows Samus to swing across gaps and can also perform other tasks.
Super Metroid
The Grapple Beam was first featured in Super Metroid. It is able to be obtained after defeating Crocomire. It is used to swing across Grapple Blocks and can defeat small enemies and open doors.
Metroid Prime
In the first Metroid Prime, the Grapple Beam is again used to swing across gaps and lava. After being lost at the explosion on Frigate Orpheon, it can be found again in Phazon Mines after solving a Spider Ball puzzle. It fires much slower than Super Metroid's Beam.
Echoes
The Grapple Beam in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is identical to Prime's Beam. It is obtained after defeating the Grapple Guardian.
Corruption
In Metroid Prime 3: Corruption the Grapple Beam is the the name used for the ship upgrade to pick up large objects, but there is an item, the Grapple Lasso, that once upgraded with the Grapple Swing, functions the same as in previous games. The ship upgrade is aquired in SkyTown, and Samus uses it throughout the game. It is first used to assemble the Theronian Bomb. The Grapple Lasso, once fully upgraded, functions like the previous Grapple Beams, but it can also be used to rip things from your path. Much later in the game, it can also drain or give energy to electrical devices.
