The Grapple Beam is a useful upgrade in the Metroid series. It allows Samus to swing across gaps and can also perform other tasks.
Super Metroid
The Grapple Beam was first introduced in Super Metroid. It is able to be obtained after defeating Crocomire. It is used to swing across Grapple Blocks and can defeat small enemies and open doors. After obtaining the Space Jump, the Beam is rendered useless whatsoever.
Metroid Prime
In the first Metroid Prime, the Grapple Beam is again used to swing across gaps and lava. After being lost at the explosion on Frigate Orpheon, it can be found again in Phazon Mines after solving a Spider Ball puzzle. It fires much slower than Super Metroid's Beam.
Echoes
The Grapple Beam in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes is identical to Prime's Beam. it is obtained after defeating the Grapple Guardian.
Corruption
The Grapple Beam remains the same in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption besides its name change to "Grapple Swing". Due to the Nintendo Wii's controls, Samus can now aim and fire while swinging. In Corruption, there are four new forms of the Grapple Beam.
