The '''Grapple Beam''' is the name of [[Samus Aran|Samus]]' extended [[grab]] in all three installments of [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'']] It is a bright blue energy beam that grabs onto opponents and reels them in so Samus can attack them up close, but when it misses, Samus is left vulnerable due to its high ending lag. It is acquired in almost every [[Metroid (universe)|''Metroid'' game.]] When not acquired in a game, it is normally replaced with the Power Grip, allowing Samus to grab ledges. The [[Ledge|ledge grab]] takes on a very important role in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. The use of the Grapple Beam in Metroid games to attach to certain Grapple points is similar to its special ability in ''[[Melee]]'' and ''[[Brawl]]'' of attaching to a ledge from afar (known as a [[Wall-grapple]] in ''Melee'' and a [[tether recovery]] in ''Brawl'').
