==''Super Metroid''==
The '''Hyper Beam''', called the '''Phazon Beam''' in ''Metroid Prime'', is a powerful, [[Phazon]]-infused [[Arm Cannon|Beam Weapon]] in the [[Metroid (series)|''Metroid'' series]].
In ''[[Super Metroid]]'', the Hyper Beam appears in the final battle with [[Mother Brain]]. After the [[Metroid Hatchling|Super Metroid]] is killed, its remains fall on [[Samus]], giving her the Hyper Beam. After Mother Brain is defeated, Samus escapes Planet [[Zebes]] before it detonates. The Hyper Beam is the ultimate weapon in the game as it defeats any enemy in one shot, and can even destroy some walls.


==''Metroid Prime''==
==Appearances==
In ''[[Metroid Prime]]'', the Hyper Beam makes another breif appearance in the battle with the [[Metroid Prime (specimen)|Metroid Prime]] when Samus steps into pools of [[Phazon]] that the creature seems to retch out. Samus enters "Hyper-Mode" and can defeat the creature when it's exoskeleton is removed.
===''Metroid Prime''===
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.


==''Corruption''==
===''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes''===
The Hyper Beam makes a major role in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''. After [[Dark Samus]] fires at Samus and the other hunters and Samus aquires the [[PED Suit]], she can enter [[Hypermode]] and transform her [[Power Beam]] into the Hyper Beam. She can fire ordinary shots or [[Charge Beam|charge the beam]] to fire a continuous stream of energy. While firing, a Phazon level appears and Hypermode will end if Samus fires out the level. However, if she gets Corrupted and does not expell the Phazon, the will be fully corrupted and it will be game over. A full [[Energy Tank]] is depleated when the Phazon level is emptied.
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>


===''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption''===
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.
