The '''Spazer Beam''' is a beam weapon that appeared in ''[[Metroid II: Return of Samus]]'' and ''[[Super Metroid]]'', which allows the [[Arm Cannon]] to fire wide shots of energy. It fires 3 needle-like blasts that can penetrate some wall types. The spazer can also be used in conjunction with [[Power Bomb]]s to execute a [[Spazer Shield]]. In ''Super Metroid'', it can not be used with the [[Plasma Beam]].

The Spazer Beam has been replaced by the [[Wide Beam]] in ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'', the [[Wave Beam]] in ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'', and the [[Diffusion Beam]] in ''[[Metroid: Other M]]''.


[[Metroid Fusion]] also has a variation of the Spazer Beam named the [[Wide Beam]].

The Spazer Beam

The Spazer Beam (Originally Spazer Laser Beam[1]) is a beam upgrade that fires a three-way beam. It first appeared in Metroid II: Return of Samus and also made its second and final appearance to date in its successor title, Super Metroid. The Spazer Beam has been replaced by the Wide Beam in Metroid Fusion, the Wave Beam in Metroid: Zero Mission, and the Diffusion Beam in Metroid: Other M.

Metroid II: Return of Samus

The Spazer Beam increases the width of Samus' firepower. If one part of the beam hits a target, the other two parts will continue, similarly to the Wide Beam in Metroid Fusion.

Super Metroid

Much like its predecessor, the Spazer Beam widens Samus' beam weapon. Unlike Metroid II, if a target is hit, the beam will cease to continue, including the beams that did not hit the target. However, at times, it will pass through surfaces. This beam weapon cannot be used simultaneously with the Plasma Beam, although there is a method for achieving such results.

When used in conjunction with the Power Bomb, Samus can create a Spazer Shield
