[[Samus Aran|Samus's]] '''Missile Launcher''' is an [[Arm Cannon]] [[upgrade]] that allows Samus to use [[Missile]]s. The Missile Launcher can initially only fire normal missiles, but it can fire several different kinds of Missiles as Samus obtains the appropriate upgrade. In earlier games, simply obtaining the first [[Missile Expansion]] installs the Missile Launcher onto Samus's Arm Cannon. | [[Samus Aran|Samus's]] '''Missile Launcher''' is an [[Arm Cannon]] [[upgrade]] that allows Samus to use [[Missile]]s.

[[SA-X]], creatures that have mimicked Samus Aran's DNA are armed with Super Missiles. The creatures don't hesitate to destroy even the slightest of obstacles, such as a [[Blue Door]], with the very powerful Super Missile blast. They usually don't shoot Samus with it, however, as their [[Ice Beam]] is more effective against her. | [[SA-X]], creatures that have mimicked Samus Aran's DNA are armed with Super Missiles.

*In ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes|Echoes]]'', the Missile Launcher upgrade and [[Missile Expansion]]s use different models. The Missile Expansion appears smaller and bulkier than the Missile Launcher, though both simply look like [[Missile]]s. The Missile Launcher can be obtained twice, once in a crate in [[GFMC Compound]] and another held by the [[Darkling|Ing-controlled]] [[Dark Missile Trooper]] in [[Hive Chamber A]]. The second Missile Launcher will simply act as a Missile Expansion. | *In ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes|Echoes]]'', the Missile Launcher upgrade and [[Missile Expansion]]s use different models.
