The Grapple Beam is the name of Samus' extended Grab in all three installments of Smash. It is a blue, energy beam that grabs onto opponents and brings them to Samus, but when it misses, Samus is vulnerable. It is learned in almost every Metroid game. In games which it is not in, it is replaced with the Power Grip, in which when Samus is near a ledge, she will automatically grab it. These two techniques (the ledge grab and Tether Recovery) are also in the Super Smash Bros. series (the Tether Recovery being Brawl-exclusive), seemingly coming from this game.

In Super Smash Bros

In Super Smash Bros., the Grapple Beam was Samus's grab, but could not be used in mid-air. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, the Grapple Beam, when used in mid-air, damaged opponents, but could also perform a wall-grapple. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Grappling Beam could be used to perform the Tether Recovery and also could be used to damage opponents in mid-air.

In the Metroid series
