The '''Plasma Beam''' is a [[Chozo]]-designed upgrade to Samus's [[Arm Cannon]]. | |||
The '''Plasma Beam''' is a [[Chozo]]-designed upgrade to Samus's [[Arm Cannon]]. The powerful beam gives Samus's beam a much stronger blast and grants it the ability to pierce through any number of foes, dealing a large amount of damage to multiple targets at once. It is one of the most powerful beam weapons in Samus's entire arsenal. | |||
==Properties== | ==Properties== | ||
The Plasma Beam has the ability to pass through enemies allowing it to hit multiple targets, this effect is also carried over when it is stacked with other weapons.<ref name=mf/><ref name=sm/> In ''Metroid II'', the Plasma Beam can also travel through walls, giving it the same effect as the [[Wave Beam]].<ref name=m2/>. | |||
In ''Super Metroid'', it allows Samus to execute a [[Plasma Shield]] under certain conditions, but it cannot be equipped with the [[Spazer Beam]]. | |||
The SA-X uses a combination of the beams Samus had previously obtained, the Ice Beam, Wave Beam, and Plasma Beam. | |||
Nettori's Plasma Beam behaves slightly different from Samus's. It still has its piercing ability, but Nettori is able to hold it in place for a few moments, functioning much like a solid. | |||
== | ==Acquisition== | ||
[[ | The green Plasma Beam was initially granted to Samus on her [[Metroid: Zero Mission|first]] mission to the planet she was raised on, [[Zebes]]. Although she found the relic containing the Plasma Beam in [[Crateria]], she was unable to use or even identify it, like the [[Gravity Suit]] and [[Space Jump]]. It wasn't until a weakened [[Zero Suit Samus]] defeated the Chozo [[Ruins Test]] that she obtains the [[Legendary Power Suit]] and is able to make use of the heavy Plasma Beam. | ||
Samus seems to not be able to keep many of her weapons, as she must obtain the Plasma Beam again on the planet [[SR388]] in her genocide of the dangerous [[Metroid (species)|Metroid species]]. | |||
She again is unable to keep the Plasma Beam, and retrieves the Plasma Beam from a [[Chozo Statue]] one final time on her [[Super Metroid|second]] mission on the planet Zebes after defeating [[Draygon]]. | |||
Armed with the Plasma Beam, Samus enters the ''[[Bottle Ship]]'' to fight the threat of bio-weapons alongside the other members of the [[Galactic Federation 07th Platoon|07th Platoon]]. She doesn't use the Plasma Beam, however, until she faces off against a fully mature clone of [[Ridley]] in [[Sector 3 (Pyrosphere)]]. | |||
The | The [[X Parasite|X]] rob Samus of her Plasma Beam along with other Chozo upgrades, meaning that the [[SA-X]] is fully armed with the powerful beam. While attempting to restore power to the [[Reactor Core]], Samus comes across [[Kihunter]]s and heavy vegetation trapping the entire [[Reactor Silo]] area. Samus finds that the statue [[Nettori]] resembling a Chozo Statue is the source of the rapidly growing vegetation. Nettori is an X armed with the Plasma Beam, and uses it to attempt to ward Samus off. Samus manages to defeat it and break the [[Hard Core-X]], allowing Samus to absorb the X and regain her Plasma Beam ability. | ||
