'''Ice Missiles''' are [[Missile]] upgrades in the Metroid series that can freeze enemies and other objects.  
'''Ice Missiles''' are an upgrade to Samus's reliable [[Missile]]. As a direct enhancement to the regular concussive Missiles, Ice Missiles not only deal damage through an explosion, but also slows enemies down or immobilizes them completely by freezing them. Some enemies, such as [[Metroid (species)|Metroids]], are more susceptible to the freezing effect than others.


==''Metroid Fusion''==
==Appearances==
Ice Missiles first appeared in ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'' as a replacement for the [[Ice Beam]], as the Federation was afraid Samus's new Metroid DNA would reject the Ice Beam due to its weakness to low temperatures. Ice Missiles can freeze enemies and other living obstacles.
===''Metroid Fusion''===
Ice Missiles first appeared in ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'' as an alternative to the [[Ice Beam]], as the Federation was afraid that Samus would reject the Ice Beam upgrade because of the Metroid DNA spliced into her genes. Samus obtains the Ice Missiles in a [[Data Room]] in [[Sector 5 (ARC)]]. Ice Missiles can freeze enemies and living things. Like enemies frozen through her former Ice Beam, Samus can then use frozen enemies as stepping stones to reach otherwise unreachable heights.

In ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'', they are obtained after defeating [[Rundas]] in the Temple of Bryyo on the [[Bryyo|planet of the same name]]. They can freeze enemies and [[Fuel Gel]]. They serve as a replacement to the Ice Beam, like ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes|Echoes']]'' [[Dark Beam]]. Though reason for using Missiles instead of a beam is never explained, it is likely due to Samus's inability to change beam weapons and with one of the beams being a [[Plasma Beam|heat-based weapon]], Samus would be incapable of freezing foes. Ice Missiles can open doors with White Blast Shields.

*If a [[Reptilicus]] throws its boomerang at [[Samus Aran|Samus]] and she freezes the creature before the boomerang gets back to it, the boomerang will shatter the reptile and Samus will receive a [[Friend Voucher]] and "Icy Repltilicide" will appear on the screen.
