The '''Wave Beam''' is one of the upgrades to [[Samus Aran|Samus's]] basic [[Beam]] weapons, designed by the [[Chozo]]. Its exact function varies between games. | |||
In ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'', ''[[Metroid II: Return of Samus]]'' and ''[[Super Metroid]]'' Samus's Arm Cannon fires a single oscillating [[Beam|beam]]. In [[Metroid: Zero Mission]], the Arm Cannon fires three simultaneous-oscillating beams. In [[Metroid Fusion]] the Arm Cannon already fired three simultaneous beams due to the [[Wide Beam]], but it adds oscillations. In Super Metroid, it will let the Plasma Beam fire two simultaneous beams if they are equipped together. In all 2D appearances of the Wave Beam, it can travel through walls.<ref name=sm/> | |||
In ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'', it causes the arm cannon to fire three oscillating electrical pulses that will have limited homing abilities on any target Samus locks on to. A [[Charge Beam|charged shot]] will briefly paralyze enemies that it hits.<ref name=mp1/> The electrical pulses can easily destroy machines,<ref>{{cite|Well-armed and armored security mecha.

Their electronic warfare suit can scramble Visor technology as well.|Logbook|Metroid Prime}}</ref> and be used to energize [[Power Conduit]]s.<ref>{{cite|This door has no power. A nearby Power Conduit must be energized for it to open.

The Wavebuster is the Wave Beam's [[Charge Combo]]. It fires a sustained beam that can home in on any nearby target without the need to lock on. | |||
