'''Missiles''' are long-range concussive projectiles and one of [[Samus Aran|Samus Aran's]] most used weapons, featured in every ''Metroid'' game. They can only be used once Samus has obtained the [[Missile Launcher]] upgrade for the [[Arm Cannon]]. They typically do more damage than most of Samus's uncharged beam weapons. Samus commonly uses them to destroy barriers such as rocks or shielding on doors and enemies. Some enemies, such as the [[Core-X]], can only be damaged with Missiles.<ref>{{Cite manual|The abilities of the Core-X parasites differ from type to type, but the thick thorny membrane that encases them is a common feature.
