==''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 Aran|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.

The Hyper Beam, called the Phazon Beam in Metroid Prime, is a powerful, Phazon-infused Beam Weapon in the Metroid series.

Appearances[edit | edit source]

Metroid Prime[edit | edit source]

In Metroid Prime, the "Phazon Beam" makes a brief appearance in the second phase of the 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.

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes[edit | edit source]

Although Hypermode and the Phazon Beam do not return in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, a form of Phazon-energized 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.[1]

Metroid Prime 3: Corruption[edit | edit source]

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 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.
