The '''Beam Sword''' is a long-range "clobbering weapon" used in the first two games and is going to be in the third. It can be wielded and charged for melee attacks or can be thrown. The ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' Beam Sword is considerably weaker than it was in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''.  The length of ''Melee's'' Beam Sword changes depending on the character wielding it and the intensity of the attack performed.  The beam sword's smash attack generally has the longest range of all beam sword strikes.  In ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', it is possible for [[Peach]] to pull out a Beam Sword with her [[Vegetable]] attack, but this is incredibly rare.
