===Hyper Beam and Phazon Beam=== In ''Super Metroid'', Samus acquires the '''Hyper Beam''' during the battle with [[Mother Brain (Metroid)|Mother Brain]]. The Hyper Beam subsequently replaces all the other beams in Samus's inventory, and is immensely powerful. It can pass through walls and enemies, and destroys obstacles that are impenetrable by other beams. The projectile looks like the charged-up Plasma Beam, but it flashes different colors. In ''Metroid Prime'', the '''Phazon Beam''' is used against the final boss, the eponymous Metroid Prime. When the corrupted Phazon Suit comes into contact with liquid Phazon, it goes into "Hyper-Mode", supercharging Samus's Arm Cannon and allowing her to shoot a continuous stream of destructive energy, which means the beam cannot be charged. It automatically arcs towards enemies. The Phazon Beam is the only weapon that can damage the second form of the [[Metroid Prime (creature)|Metroid Prime]]. Unlike the Hyper Beam, which can be fired anytime, Samus Aran must step into a small pool of pure Phazon to use the Phazon Beam, which means it can only be used during the last boss fight. In ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'', Samus also uses a sort of Phazon Beam, although it is not an actual powerup. In the final boss fight, Dark Samus occasionally fires tiny balls of Phazon that Samus must catch with the Charge Beam. When three of these Phazon balls are absorbed, Samus can fire them back at Dark Samus to hurt her (absorbing more than three does not increase the strength of the beam). Any beam will work with this, so charged Phazon versions of the Power, Dark, Light, and Annihilator Beams exist (there is no difference other than minor graphical ones, however and using the Light, Dark, or the Annihilator Beam will not waste ammo when fused with Phazon energy).
