| |
| The Wavebuster rests at the top of the [[Tower of Light]]. To reach the top, [[Samus Aran|Samus]] must destroy several cracked sections of pillar using [[Missile]]s. On easy mode, each cracked block will need to be shot with three Missiles before they are destroyed; in hard mode, each block requires six Missiles (or one [[Super Missile]]). The blocks are protected by indestructible [[Oculus]] which will absorb inaccurately fired Missiles.

|
| |
|
| When sections of all four pillars on any particular level have been destroyed, the pillars drop a level, giving Samus access to another series of platforms. [[Plated Puffer]]s are released when the pillars drop, but can easily be avoided if Samus quickly proceeds to the next level. The Wavebuster becomes accessible after all the blocks are destroyed.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The Wavebuster can be used to destroy the [[Cloaked Drone]] with little effort due to its homing properties; they work whether Samus is locked on to the enemy or not.
