From Metroid Wiki

(Warning: This is a dangerous glitch, For more information visit: Glitches in Super Metroid)

The Spazer and the plasma beam activated, the plasma beam has the word VAR next to it

The VAR Beam is a glitched weapon from Super Metroid that is achieved by mixing the Plasma Beam with the Spazer, this is the most powerful weapon in the entire metroid saga, with the ability to alter the laws of physics, corrupt the reality of the game, or massively drain the frames.

One of the effects of the VAR beam: The game has been restarted from the beginning and therefore the bosses have revived, but samus has all its improvements, Also the graphs of the missile table, the Grapple Beam, and the X-Ray Scope have been corrupted although they work correctly.

Way of obtaining and uses[edit | edit source]

The Spazer cannot be mixed with the Plasma Beam, and this is not known for sure perhaps it was because the qualities of the two beams are very different in power, However, as the years passed, it was discovered how to activate them, you had to have the Plasma Beam, the Spazer and the Hi-Jump Boots,

we had to activate the Spazer and deactivate the Plasma Beam, then we went to the boots section and in the Hi-Jump Boots section and pressed A and Left at the same time, and if it is achieved, the plasma section will be activated with the word VAR which is part of the word Varia Suit

the uses are to cause extreme damage, restart the game, and use it to be fully equipped. If you Charge the beam before activating you do not have to deactivate Wave. If so than you can do lots of damage to one time infinitely

Shape[edit | edit source]

This beam is black in color and becomes totally invisible when shooting although its color varies depending on what beam they are activated, its shape is the normal one of a flickering energy sphere, this is appreciated when this beam is charged.

Advantages[edit | edit source]

This beam does a lot of damage and is capable of taking down bosses with a single shot, with this beam the enemies are no longer a problem, This beam is capable of charging extremely fast which increases the damage.

Disadvantages[edit | edit source]

This beam is capable of destroying your game with just one shot, This beam is capable of reviving the bosses so you must face them again, it can damage the game cartridge preventing you from playing again, this may freeze the game and you will have to restart the game.

Ways to decrease videogame damage[edit | edit source]

To prevent the game from freezing instantly, the Wave Beam must be deactivated, there are no other ways to lessen the damage.
