The Beam Sword is a combat item appearing in all [[Super Smash Bros. series|Smash Bros. games]] that is a sword made of light. This item is heavily based upon the lightsaber from the Star Wars film franchise, and in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] its resemblence is even more striking. The original [[Super Smash Bros.]] game even included the Star Wars sound effects of the weapon. The item works the same in all three games as a close range weapon for attacking opponents and smashing them off the stage. It is pink with a sharp point in the first two games, but blue with a rounded edge in Brawl.

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.

*When held by [[Sheik]], the forward smash is a very quick double hit, both upwards. The first hit is a bit stronger than Capt. Falcon’s, but the second is weaker than Capt. Falcon's second hit
