Power Bombs are the ultimate weapon in the Metroid series. They are a heavily upgraded version of standard Bombs, creating a large superheated explosion that can incinerate organic matter instantaneously (including Metroids), and destroy Bendezium and Denzium alloy. They were first featured in Super Metroid, and have appeared in Metroid: Zero Mission, Metroid Fusion, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, and Metroid: Other M. The number of Power Bombs held at once can be expanded with Power Bomb Expansions, with the exception of Other M, in where the number of usable Power Bombs is limitless. This weapon is the most powerful weapon in each game which it appears with the exception of Super Metroid's Hyper Beam.
Metroid: Zero Mission
The Power Bombs appear chronologically first during Samus's Zero Mission. After retrieving the Legendary Power Suit, Samus makes her way back to the Space Pirate Mother Ship. Shortly before reaching Mecha Ridley, Samus obtains the Power Bombs. They are necessary to reach Mecha Ridley. They can also be used to leave the Mother Ship and return to Brinstar. They can be used to open Yellow Hatches and break Power Bomb Blocks.
Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime brought back Power Bombs as a weapon to destroy walls and rubble made of Bendezium. They are a one-hit kill to Metroids and most other common enemies. They are found in Phazon Mines. Through sequence breaking, Samus can kill critical bosses much more quickly.
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Power Bombs remain the same as they did in Prime in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. They are now used to destroy Denzium. They are obtained after defeating the Power Bomb Guardian underneath Torvus Bog. In the Multiplayer, a similar in destructive nature power-up called the Death Ball can be acquired.
Super Metroid
In their first appearance in Super Metroid, Power Bombs are used to destroy walls and enemies, as well as open Orange Doors.
Metroid: Other M
The Power Bomb reappears in Metroid: Other M. It is tested by Samus along with her other weapons very early in the game. However, once entering the Bottle Ship, Adam Malkovich lets Samus know that he has no intention of authorizing the use of Power Bombs. This appearance is the only appearance where the Power Bomb does not require ammunition of any sort. She must charge a regular Bomb while in Morph Ball mode then release while the charge gauge is full. The time it takes to charge can be lessened through the acquisition of Accel Charges. However, Samus must wait to use a successive Power Bomb.
She does not use Power Bombs until one of her final battles, the Queen Metroid battle. After that battle and the MB battle, Samus is free to use the Power Bomb.
Metroid Fusion
In Metroid Fusion, Power Bombs retain the same function that they did in Super Metroid, with the addition that they can lure in X parasites.
To obtain the Power Bombs, the Galactic Federation sends Samus to a Data Room to better defend herself against the SA-X.
