Beam Sword

Beam Sword A Beam Sword in Smash 4 Universe Super Smash Bros. Appears in SSB Melee Brawl SSB4 Item class Weapon “ This is an item of great power. It also has the longest range of all Clobbering Items when thrown. ” —Super Smash Bros. instruction manual. The Beam Sword (ビームソード, Beam Sword) is a long-range battering item, similar in appearance to a lightsaber. Available in all four games, it can be wielded and charged for melee attacks or can be thrown, like all other battering items. Operation Fox charges up a forward smash with the Beam Sword. The retracting blade references weapons in various forms of science fiction. As a battering item, the Beam Sword will bolster the player's power, as well as potentially add some options to their game via throwing. In Melee and Brawl, the Beam Sword's range significantly increases in size, particularly in the case of charged smash attacks. In each of its subsequent appearances, its range has increased, with Brawl's variant of the weapon potentially having thrice the range of its Melee counterpart. With this, the beam of the blade can also pass through walls. In Super Smash Bros. 4, character-specific Beam Sword attacks, such as Marth and Roy's two-hit slashes, are no longer present. The Beam Sword is one of few unusual items Peach can pull out via her Vegetable attack, though the chances of this are slim (1 out of 58 chance), and has been removed in Smash 4. In addition, the behavior surrounding the event is unorthodox for Brawl; in the first minute of plucking the item, the sword's range is severely decreased, as Peach will use her item throwing animation rather than her standard item swinging animation. After a minute, the item pickup sound will play and the Beam Sword regains its usual properties, though the player can also toss the sword and pick it up again to restore its proper attributes.

The Beam Sword acts as a reference to the lightsaber from the Star Wars film series since 1977, though multiple literary works prior to the series had similar weapons, such as Fritz Leiber's Gather, Darkness from the 1940s. In the original Super Smash Bros., the weapon would make sound effects similar to those found in the actual films, including the famous, distinctive, and sharp crackling noise when two swords collided. While the sound effects were removed in the PAL and American releases of the games, the Japanese release of Melee continued this tradition, and in Brawl and Smash 4, all regions now contain the famous sound effects from the film series. Furthermore, in the latter two games, the Beam Sword's blade could shrink in some animations, furthering the connection between the item and its source. Gallery Beam Sword in Super Smash Bros.
