'''Missiles''' are high powered concussive blast projectiles. The '''Missile''' has been featured in every game thus far. There are a few different types of '''Missiles''', such as [[Ice Missile]]'s, found in [[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]] and [[Metroid Fusion]], there are also [[Super Missile|Super Missiles]] in nearly every game except the original [[Metroid]], [[Metroid II: Return of Samus]], [[Metroid Prime Hunters]], and [[Metroid Prime Pinball]]. There was also a [[Charge Missile]] which was found only in [[Metroid Prime Hunters]]. '''Missiles''' are often used to destroy structures and objects made of [[Brinstone]].

'''Missiles''' are long-range concussive projectiles and one of [[Samus Aran|Samus Aran's]] most used weapons, featured in every ''Metroid'' game. They can only be used once Samus has obtained the [[Missile Launcher]] upgrade for the [[Arm Cannon]]. They typically do more damage than most of Samus's uncharged beam weapons. Samus commonly uses them to destroy barriers such as rocks or shielding on doors and enemies. Some enemies, such as the [[Core-X]], can only be damaged with Missiles.<ref>{{Cite manual|The abilities of the Core-X parasites differ from type to type, but the thick thorny membrane that encases them is a common feature.

=== Quickfire glitch ===
==Standard Missiles==
In the 3D games, the '''Missile''' rate of fire was slow. However, in [[Metroid Prime]] there is a technique that allows Rapid fire for the '''Misslie Launcher'''. This technique is easily executed by firing a '''Missile''' followed by pressing the fire beam button to reset the '''arm cannon''' back to beam firing mode, followed quickly by another '''Missile'''. This technique can be used indefinitely as long as [[Samus Aran|Samus]] has '''Missiles''' to fire. This technique is not in the two following [[Metroid Prime (Trilogy)|Prime]] games.
Missiles typically have a higher rate of fire than most weapons, though in the [[Metroid Prime (series)|''Metroid Prime'' series]] it is greatly diminished. In the first ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'', Samus can rapidly fire Missiles by firing the [[Power Beam]] immediately after launching a Missile to reset the [[Arm Cannon]] allowing her to [[Glitches in Metroid Prime#Rapid Fire Glitch|launch another Missile without waiting]]. Using this method, Samus can have a maximum of three Missiles out at a time. In ''Metroid Prime'' and ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'', there are [[Charge Combo|Charge Combos]] that use missiles in conjuncture with the [[Charge Beam]] to fire various powerful attacks.<ref name=mp2/> Missiles in the ''Prime'' games also have a homing effect when locked onto targets.<ref name=mp2/>


In both ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'' and ''Metroid Fusion'', Missiles have a stacking ability like beam weapons, being enhanced by other more powerful Missile upgrades. Initially, Samus can normally only hold five Missiles, though if she acquires [[Missile Expansion|Missile Expansions]], she can increase the maximum up to 255 in most games. Samus's standard Missiles are one of the weapons Samus can fire from her [[Missile Launcher]], finding [[upgrade]]s to her Missiles Launcher will allow Samus to fire many different kinds of Missiles.
==Enhancements==
===Super Missile===
{{Main|Super Missile}}
Super Missiles are three-to-five times more potent than regular Missiles. These powerful weapons can create large shock waves that can knock objects off walls. In ''Metroid Prime'' and ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'', they are the [[Power Beam|Power Beam's]] [[Charge Combo]]. Super Missiles increase Missiles' abilities to damage enemies and objects greatly, even moving at a faster rate. Their name is well earned, as they essentially are Missiles enhanced in every way. Their downside lies in the fact that they take either five Missile Ammo or their [[Super Missile Ammo|own]], scarce ammo. This is not the case in ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'', however, where every Super Missile uses up only one Missile and completely replaces the basic Missile.
===Seeker Missile===
{{Main|Seeker Missile}}
The Seeker Missile allows Samus to fire a maximum of five Missiles at multiple targets simultaniously. Each Missile fired takes away one Missile Ammo. The longer Samus locks onto an enemy when charging the Seeker Missiles, the more Missiles will hit the target. The Seeker Missile ability can also be stacked with the Ice Missile ability in ''Corruption'', meaning icy blasts can freeze up to five targets at once. These Missiles can bust through [[Multi-Lock Blast Shield]]s.
===Ice Missile===
{{Main|Ice Missile}}
Similar to the Ice Beam, Ice Missiles will freeze enemies in place and increase damage dealt. Frozen enemies can be used as platforms in ''Fusion''. In ''Corruption'', frozen enemies can be shattered with a [[Charge Beam|charged shot]]. Ice Missiles can freeze [[Fuel Gel]] as well as enemies.
===Hyper Missile===
{{Main|Hyper Missile}}
Samus can only use the Hyper Missile when she enters [[Hypermode]]. It fires a fast-moving Missile that does massive damage but lacks the homing capability. These quick and powerful shots are infused with [[Phazon]], dealing very deadly and effective damage against creatures in Hypermode. Hyper Missiles are much like Super Missiles in essence.
===Ship Missile===
{{Main|Ship Missile}}
[[Samus Aran's Gunship]] is capable of launching a volley of powerful Missile when Samus targets an area with her [[Command Visor]]. Samus's ship, armed with Missiles, can break through [[Maldium]] or blow up a team of enemies in an open area. Ship Missiles are the only Missiles that Samus cannot shoot directly.
===Diffusion Missile===
{{Main|Diffusion Missile}}
The Diffusion Missile increases the freezing capability of the Ice Missile allowing Samus to freeze several targets at once. These Missiles are needed to destroy [[SA-X]] and reveal it's [[Hard Core-X]] within.

Missiles are long-range concussive projectiles and one of Samus Aran's most used weapons, featured in every Metroid game. They can only be used once Samus has obtained the Missile Launcher upgrade for the Arm Cannon. They typically do more damage than most of Samus's uncharged beam weapons. Samus commonly uses them to destroy barriers such as rocks or shielding on doors and enemies. Some enemies, such as the Core-X, can only be damaged with Missiles.[1] When used in conjuncture with the Ice Beam or Dark Beam, Samus can shatter enemies to pieces, this is also one of the few ways she can kill a Metroid in some games.

Standard Missiles[edit | edit source]

Missiles typically have a higher rate of fire than most weapons, though in the Metroid Prime series it is greatly diminished. In the first Metroid Prime, Samus can rapidly fire Missiles by firing the Power Beam immediately after launching a Missile to reset the Arm Cannon allowing her to launch another Missile without waiting. Using this method, Samus can have a maximum of three Missiles out at a time. In Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, there are Charge Combos that use missiles in conjuncture with the Charge Beam to fire various powerful attacks.[2] Missiles in the Prime games also have a homing effect when locked onto targets.[2]

In both Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Metroid Fusion, Missiles have a stacking ability like beam weapons, being enhanced by other more powerful Missile upgrades. Initially, Samus can normally only hold five Missiles, though if she acquires Missile Expansions, she can increase the maximum up to 255 in most games. Samus's standard Missiles are one of the weapons Samus can fire from her Missile Launcher, finding upgrades to her Missiles Launcher will allow Samus to fire many different kinds of Missiles.
