'''Power Bombs''' are the one of the ultimate weapons in the [[Metroid (series)|''Metroid'' series]]. They are a heavily upgraded version of standard [[Morph Ball Bomb|Bombs]], creating a large superheated explosion that can incinerate organic matter instantaneously (including [[Metroid (species)|Metroids]]), and destroy [[Bendezium]] and [[Denzium]] alloy. They were first featured in ''[[Super Metroid]]'', and have appeared in ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'', ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'', ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'', ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'', and ''[[Metroid Dread]]''. The number of Power Bombs held at once can be expanded with [[Power Bomb Expansion]]s, with the exception of ''Other M'', in where the number of usable Power Bombs is limitless. This weapon is the most powerful conventional weapon in each game in which it appears.

Power Bombs function in much the same as they did in ''Prime'' in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]''. They are used to destroy [[Denzium]]. They are obtained after defeating the [[Power Bomb Guardian]] underneath [[Torvus Bog]]. Unused combinations for the Power Bomb upgrade include the [[Light Bomb]]s, [[Dark Bomb]]s, and [[Annihilator Bomb]]s.
Power Bombs remain the same as they did in ''Prime'' in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]''. They are now used to destroy [[Denzium]]. They are obtained after defeating the [[Power Bomb Guardian]] underneath [[Torvus Bog]]. In the [[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes#Multiplayer|Multiplayer]], a power-up similar in destructive nature called the [[Death Ball]] can be acquired.

===''Super Metroid''===
In their first appearance in ''Super Metroid'', Power Bombs are used to destroy walls and enemies, as well as open Orange Doors. Power Bombs are used to activate the [[Crystal Flash]] technique. Power Bombs cause Samus to [[Bomb Jump]] as if she had used a [[Morph Ball Bomb]]. They can also be used to activate Charge Beam Combos. Like other 2D appearances, Power Bombs are especially useful in finding other types of weak blocks and secret passages.

The Power Bomb reappears in ''[[Metroid: Other M]]''. It is tested by [[Samus Aran|Samus]] along with her other weapons very early in the game. However, once Samus on the [[Bottle Ship]], [[Adam Malkovich]] lets Samus know that he has no intention of authorizing the use of Power Bombs because their blast radius is extensive, and they are powerful enough to incinerate organic matter.<ref>{{cite|As you know, they have the ability to spread a high-temperature heat wave over a large area, impacting living things, which is a nice way of saying they can vaporize humans instantly.|Adam Malkovich|Metroid: Other M}}</ref> This appearance is the only appearance in which the Power Bomb does not require ammunition of any sort. She must charge a regular Bomb while in Morph Ball mode then release while the charge gauge is full. The time it takes to charge can be lessened through the acquisition of [[Accel Charge]]s. However, Samus must wait to use a successive Power Bomb. She does not use Power Bombs until one of her final battles, the [[Queen Metroid]] battle (curiously, she is not notified that she is able to use Power Bombs in this situation). After that battle and the confrontation with [[MB]], Samus is free to use the Power Bomb.

To obtain the Power Bombs, the [[Galactic Federation]] sends Samus to a [[Data Room]] to better defend herself against the [[SA-X]].

===''Metroid Dread''===
In ''[[Metroid Dread]]'', the Power Bomb can be found in Hanubia, after defeating another Red Chozo Soldier. It can destroy any block from Beam Block to Power Bomb Blocks. It can also be used to reveal Hidden Blocks. Samus only starts with 2 Power Bombs and along the way with [[Power Bomb Expansion|Power Bomb Tanks]], Samus can get a total of 15 Power Bombs. However, Power Bomb Tanks can be acquired before even getting the Power Bomb Item.
