Ice Beam

The ice beam appears in all metroid games, except for Metroid Prime 2. It shoots globs of snow or ice that has the power to freeze enemies.

When frozen, some enemies can be shattered with a missle.

Samus has the power to stand on frozen enemies in the 2d games.

When charged up, the ice beam can destroy enemies on contact. The missle combo for the ice beam is the ice spreader, which is a missle with a conconsisve blast of ice. It is very effective against flying enemies.
