Return to List of Items

The Wave Beam enables your beam to shoot through solid objects, but not enemies. It also greatly increases the size of your beam, giving an effect that looks like multiple beam shots layered on top of one another, allowing you to shoot blocks that are 3 tiles high in front of Samus. This makes the Wave Beam a required item for some specific rooms that require running while shooting blocks at multiple heights in order to activate your speed booster, such as the heated room before the Imago Larva fight or the Speed Jump Missiles in Ridley.

The Wave Beam is intended to be collected after the Ice Beam according to the game's design, but it is possible to collect the Wave Beam early. If you do so, the beam is still a faint white/grey color, suggesting that it really was intended to be picked up with the Ice Beam and not before the Ice Beam.
