| '''Beams''' are a type of weapon that [[Samus Aran]] can discharge using her [[Arm Cannon]]. The default beam that is used in the start of most Metroid games is the [[Power Beam]], and it can be upgraded via collecting beam upgrades. They can be stacked or have a menu to choose from. Some beams can be enhanced by obtaining [[Charge Combo]]s, which can eliminate groups of enemies quicker, but at the cost of various [[missile]]s.
