Beam Sword



The Beam Sword is an item seen in the Super Smash Bros. series.

In Super Smash Bros., it had a long pink blade of energy that was capable of reaching extremely far. The Beam Sword coud also be thrown as an excellent projectile weapon for moderate damage. However, the Beam Sword would knock the foe back quite a ways.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Beam Swords had a more purple hue and the blades were shorter. However, the length of the blade would change depending on who picked it up. The size also changed according to the strength of the attack – A Smash attack gave it maximum length. Throwing the Beam Sword resulted in minimal damage in this game, as well as a severely reduced knockback.

Originally, the Beam Sword was called "lightsaber" and the sound effects were taken from the Star Wars films. Due to copyright problems, the item was renamed "Beam Sword" and the sound effects were changed.
