Charge Beam: Difference between revisions

The Charge Beam was an upgrade to [[Samus Aran]]'s [[Power Suit]] that created a more powerful shot through the [[Arm Cannon]]. The Charge Beam could be used with all of the [[Power Beam]]s aquired through the games. In th 2-D games, Samus can perform a small type of [[Screw Attack]] when spin-jumping with a fully charged arm cannon. The Charge Beam first appeared in ''[[Super Metroid]]'' for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and has been in all of the games that are after its release.

In ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', the Charge  attacks for the [[Light Beam]], [[Dark Beam]], and [[Annihilator Beam]] have very different attacks from when they are normally shot. For instance, when shot without charging, the Dark Beam fire swirling, star-shaped piece of dark matter. However, the charged Dark Beam creates a compact blob of dark matter that ensnares the enemy with dark energy that prevents movement, like the [[Ice Beam|Ice Beam's]] charge beam. The Light Beam is similar to a shotgun when shot without charging because it fires a long, powerful shot. When a charged Light shot is fired, it releases a volley of fast spherical projectiles that home on enemies. When a charged Annihilator shot is fired, it creates a superpowered shot that creates a space rift and damages enemies near the rift.
