The Hyper Grapple (ハイパーグラップル Haipā Gurappuru ) is the fourth and final Hypermode attack in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. After defeating Omega Ridley in the Pirate Homeworld's Leviathan, Samus Aran is bombarded with more Phazon, increasing her corruption to 75%. Samus then obtains the item, her last upgrade in the game.
Being a Hypermode attack, it can only be used in Hypermode and requires the use of Phazon to use it. This is the Grapple Voltage's Hypermode variant. It injects Phazon into the enemy, either massively damaging it or absorbing Phazon while slowly damaging the creature she is latched onto. However, like the Grapple Voltage, the downside is that it can only be used on the handful of enemies that have a Grapple Point for the Grapple Lasso.
This attack is required to overload the stationary Hyper Grapple blockers with Phazon, which is the only way of destroying them. It is also very useful for the trek through Phaaze, as Samus can attach herself to the numerous Phaz-Ing that populate the area and quickly drain out her Phazon meter.
