The '''Beam Sword''' ({{ja|ビームソード|Bīmu Sōdo}}, ''Beam Sword'') is a long-range battering [[item]], similar in appearance to a [[wikipedia:Lightsaber|lightsaber]]. Available in all five games, it can be wielded and charged for melee attacks or can be thrown, like all other [[battering]] items.

The Beam Sword acts as a reference to similar weapons found in various {{s|wikipedia|science fiction}} media, most prominently the {{s|wikipedia|lightsaber}} from the ''{{s|wikipedia|Star Wars}}'' film series. The item's sound effects are similar to those found in lightsabers, including the distinctive swinging sounds and sharp crackling noise when two swords [[Priority|collide]]. These sound effects were modified in the PAL and American releases of ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and all versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' to no longer resemble that of the lightsabers, but would be standardised to resemble the weapon in all regions from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onwards. Furthermore, starting with ''Melee'', the Beam Sword's blade could retract in some animations, furthering the connection between the item and its source.

You can make the most of its power by attacking enemies as they're falling, or when you're too far away for them to counter-attack.''
