}} | The '''Wave Beam''' is a [[Chozo]] weapon left behind on the planets [[Zebes]] and [[SR388]] to aid [[Samus]] in her quests. It gives Samus's [[beam]] the ability to pass through walls, hitting viable targets on the other side.<ref name=sm/> | ||
{{ | |||
The '''Wave Beam''' is | ==Properties== | ||
The Wave Beam fires energy waves capable of penetrating walls and reaching otherwise unreachable targets.<ref name="ZM Inventory">{{cite|This beam, which is made up of energy waves, can pass through solid objects.|Inventory Data|Metroid: Zero Mission}}</ref> Its earliest incarnations depicted it as one oscillating beam following a helical pattern, giving it a wider damage range than the Power Beam. | |||
In ''Fusion'' and ''Zero Mission'', however, Samus and the [[SA-X]] fire a very large blast with every shot. Combining the Wave Beam and the [[Plasma Beam]] in ''Super Metroid'' splits Samus's Plasma Beam into two shots. | |||
Most of the thick walls of the ''[[Bottle Ship]]'' in ''Other M'' do not allow simple penetration from the Wave Beam, only [[glass]] windows and walls can be permeated. | |||
The SA-X uses the Wave Beam combined with both the Plasma Beam and Ice Beam, Samus reobtains this weapon after the [[Omega Metroid]] demolishes the SA-X. | |||
The [[Galactic Federation]] researchers aboard the ''Bottle Ship'' outfitted [[Super Zebesian]] with Wave Beam technology. Their Wave Beams fire much slower than Samus's. | |||
==Obtaining the Wave Beam== | |||
In ''Metroid'', Samus must choose between Beams to carry at a time. She can find the Wave Beam in Norfair. | |||
''Metroid: Zero Mission'' grants Samus stackable Beams. Unable to bypass a [[Kiru Giru]] larva, Samus must navigate her way around it to find the Wave Beam in Norfair. She now is given the ability to attack the weak underside of the larvae, normally hidden behind a thick shell, permeable to the Wave Beam. | |||
''Super Metroid'' plants the Wave Beam in Crateria once again, requiring the [[Grapple Beam]] to reach. Here, it can be combined with some combination of the other beams available. | |||
In '' | In Sector 2 (Cryoshpere) of the ''Bottle Ship'', Super Zebesians trapped Samus in a glass cage, and they were able to fire their Wave Beams inward toward Samus, but she was unable to retaliate. [[Adam Malkovich|Adam]] authorized use of the Wave Beam, making the Super Zebesians easy targets. | ||
