The '''Nova Beam''' is a beam weapon obtained within the [[Pirate Homeworld]] | The '''Nova Beam''' is a beam weapon obtained within the [[Pirate Homeworld]], and the last beam upgrade obtainable in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. | ||
Some of the few enemies that Samus can find critical spots within their bodily systems are [[Metroid Hatcher]]s, [[Phazon Metroid]]s, [[Omega Ridley]], the [[Infant Leviathan]], and a few others. | ==Properties== | ||
The Nova Beam is an upgrade to the [[Arm Cannon]] that discharges emerald-green bursts of {{wp|high frequency}} energy. | |||
It shoots a high-frequency beam that can pass through certain surfaces (acting much like the Wave Beam), namely those made of [[Phazite]]; this may allow [[Samus Aran|Samus]] to directly target an enemy's vulnerable internal organs when used in conjunction with the [[X-Ray Visor]]. It is slightly more powerful than the Plasma Beam. | |||
The Nova Beam retains all of the properties of Samus's previous beam weapons, namely the Power Beam's ability to shoot rapidly and the [[Plasma Beam]]'s ability to weld unstable or damaged machinery and melt obstacles of metal. | |||

Found on the Pirate Homeworld, the Nova Beam is used by the Space Pirates to assist in Phazon mining; its high-frequency allows the Space Pirates to extract more Phazon, as lots of Phazon is otherwise inaccessible by Phazon plating. It is located inside a mining mechanism used to extract Phazon from various rock sources. Once Samus destroys the mining mechanism in a major Space Pirate confrontation, the Nova Beam becomes hers. | |||
Some of the few enemies that Samus can find critical spots within their bodily systems are [[Metroid Hatcher]]s, [[Phazon Metroid]]s, [[Omega Ridley]], the [[Infant Leviathan]], and a few others. If Samus manages to hit a critical spot, the enemy may be instantly dispatched, greatly shortening fights with Metroid Hatchers. | |||
