It shoots a high-frequency beam that can pass through certain surfaces (acting much like the Wave Beam), namely those made of [[Phazite]]; this may allow [[Samus Aran|Samus]] to directly target an enemy's vulnerable internal organs when used in conjunction with the [[X-Ray Visor]]. It is slightly more powerful than the Plasma Beam. | It shoots a high-frequency beam that can pass through certain surfaces (acting much like the Wave Beam), namely those made of [[Phazite]]; this may allow [[Samus Aran|Samus]] to directly target an enemy's vulnerable internal organs when used in conjunction with the [[X-Ray Visor]].

The Nova Beam retains all of the properties of Samus's previous beam weapons, namely the Power Beam's ability to shoot rapidly and the [[Plasma Beam (Metroid Prime series)|Plasma Beam]]'s ability to weld unstable or damaged machinery and melt obstacles of metal. | The Nova Beam retains all of the properties of Samus's previous beam weapons, namely the [[Power Beam]]'s ability to shoot rapidly and the [[Plasma Beam (Metroid Prime series)|Plasma Beam]]'s ability to weld unstable or damaged machinery and melt obstacles of metal. | ||
Found on the Pirate Homeworld, the Nova Beam is used by the Space Pirates to assist in Phazon mining; its high-frequency allows the Space Pirates to extract more Phazon, as lots of Phazon is otherwise inaccessible by Phazon plating. It is located inside a mining mechanism used to extract Phazon from various rock sources. Once Samus destroys the mining mechanism in a major Space Pirate confrontation, the Nova Beam becomes hers. | Found on the Pirate Homeworld, the Nova Beam is used by the Space Pirates to assist in Phazon mining; its high-frequency allows the Space Pirates to extract more Phazon, as lots of Phazon is otherwise inaccessible by Phazon plating.
