In ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'', the "'''Phazon Beam'''" makes a brief appearance in the second phase of the [[Metroid Prime (specimen)|Metroid Prime]] battle. When Samus steps into the pools of [[Phazon]] that the creature expels, she enters "Hyper-mode" and can damage the creature with the Phazon Beam.

Although Hypermode and the Phazon Beam do not return in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', a form of Phazon-energized [[Charge Beam|shot]] is used to defeat [[Dark Samus]] in Samus's last fight against her. When Dark Samus releases shots of Phazon energy, Samus is able to draw them in by charging her arm cannon, energizing her next Charge shot with Phazon. This blast is powerful enough to penetrate through Dark Samus's energy shield, which is described as impermeable to any weapon except that of Phazon energy.<ref>{{cite|Dark Samus has temporarily become a being of pure yet unstable Phazon energy. She can generate a shield that is invulnerable to all attacks, save one - blasts of Phazon energy itself. Use your Charge Beam to collect Phazon energy that she expels, then fire it back at her. Direct hits will overload and disrupt her essence.|[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Logbook]] "Dark Samus 4"|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes}}</ref>
Although Hypermode and the Phazon Beam does not return in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, a form of Phazon-energized Charge Shot is used to defeat Dark Samus in Samus's last fight against her. When Dark Samus releases shots of phazon energy, Samus is able to draw them in by charging her arm cannon, energizing her next Charge shot with Phazon. For the time-being while she keeps from firing the Phazon-infused shot, her arm cannon becomes the Phazon Cannon. The charged shot is as deep blue as Phazon itself, with blue radiation flowing out of the arm cannon. The Phazon Cannon's single shot is powerful enough to penetrate through Dark Samus's energy shield, which is described as impermeable to any weapon except that of Phazon energy.

The Hyper Beam plays a major role in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''. After [[Dark Samus]] corrupts Samus and the other hunters, Samus acquires the [[PED Suit]], allowing her to enter [[Hypermode]] and transform her [[Power Beam]] into the Hyper Beam at will. She can fire ordinary shots or [[Charge Beam|charge the beam]] to fire a continuous stream of energy. A fully charged Hyper Beam yields the best damage output in the game, but at the cost of a heavy toll on her Phazon resources, even more than a [[Hyper Missile]].

In Hypermode, a Phazon Meter appears at the top of Samus's HUD and Hypermode will end if Samus empties the bar. Firing the Hyper Beam will empty the bar. Samus consumes about 4 energy for each individual Hyper Beam shot fired.
