Ice Beam: Difference between revisions

This weapon has appeared in nearly every game in the [[Metroid (series)|''Metroid'' series]], and has played a vital role in each entry. In the original [[Metroid (game)|''Metroid'']], Samus was able to choose between the [[Wave Beam]] and the Ice Beam but was unable to defeat Metroids without the latter. The Ice Beam was absent in ''Metroid Prime Hunters'', which features a similar weapon known as the [[Judicator]], ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'', where Samus would use the [[Dark Beam]] to freeze enemies, and ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'', where Samus would use [[Ice Missile]]s instead of an Ice Beam. The beam was mostly absent from ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'', although Samus could obtain it by absorbing the [[Core-X]] left behind when the [[Omega Metroid]] defeats one of the [[SA-X]] aboard the [[Biologic Space Laboratories Research Station|Biologic Space Labs Research Station]]. Strangely, Samus was told that she would be unable to regain the Ice Beam functionality due to her changed cellular structure, as her DNA changed to resemble that of a Metroid, and Metroids are vulnerable to extreme cold.
