{{main|Phazon Suit}}
Exclusive to ''Metroid Prime'', the Phazon Suit is the only suit acquired in the ''Prime'' subseries, sans the [[PED Suit]], that isn't in item form. Samus gains this upgrade after the [[Omega Pirate]] collapses on her following its defeat in the [[Phazon Mines]], infusing her Gravity Suit with the "unique Phazon" present in the Omega Pirate. The suit is physically the same as the Varia and Gravity suits but features a jet-black and red color scheme. In the Upgrades section of the ''Prime'' pause menu, it also shows Samus having a light-bending field around her. Along with 50% damage reduction, the suit protects Samus against damage caused by Phazon and allows her to fire the [[Phazon Beam]] in the battle against [[Metroid Prime (specimen)|Metroid Prime]].

{{main|Charge Beam}}
Allows Samus to charge up her currently active beam to up to ten times the damage of one shot. It is accompanied by a visual cue that let's the player know it's fully charged. It can be used with all beams, minus the [[Phazon Beam]], including the [[Paralyzer]]. In the ''Primes'', a sustained fully charged shot can act like a tractor beam, attracting pickups into Samus.

The Phazon Beam is a beam in ''[[Metroid Prime]]'' that allows Samus to draw on the power of Phazon and fire it. Although she obtains the Phazon Beam after fighting [[Omega Pirate]], she doesn't use it until the [[Metroid Prime (specimen)|final boss fight]] when standing in a pool of liquid [[Phazon]]. The [[Arm Cannon]] becomes covered in Phazon veins and shoots out what appears to be eletrical rays of energy to damage enemies. The Phazon Beam, when activated, is called the Hyper Beam. It is vastly more powerful than any other weapon Samus possesses and can kill any enemy much faster and more efficiently.

In ''[[Super Metroid]]'', when the [[Metroid Hatchling|Baby]] dies above Samus, it collapses on her and gives her the Hyper Beam that allows Samus to kill [[Mother Brain]]. It fires a rainbow-hued stream of energy that is immensely powerful. It is the only weapon capable of killing Mother Brain. Samus's [[Phazon Beam]], when used to its full capacity against [[Metroid Prime (specimen)|Metroid Prime]], is called the Hyper Beam. In ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'', when Samus enter Hyper Mode, she fires a very powerful beam that can kill any enemy faster and overload enemies with Phazon energy to damage them. It also can be charged in ''Corruption'' to fires and continuous stream of Phazon bullets for a few seconds until the charge wears off.
