The '''Beam Sword''' ({{ja|ビームソード|Bīmu Sōdo}}, ''Beam Sword'') is a long-range battering [[item]], similar in appearance to a [[wikipedia:Lightsaber|lightsaber]]. Available in all five games, it can be wielded and charged for melee attacks or can be thrown, like all other [[battering]] items.
The '''Beam Sword''' ({{ja|ビームソード|Bīmu Sōdo}}, ''Beam Sword'') is a long-range battering [[item]]. It is similar in appearance to a {{iw|wikipedia|lightsaber}}, and is often informally referred to as the "lightsaber" for this reason. Available in all five games, it can be wielded and charged for melee attacks or can be thrown, like all other [[battering]] items.

[[File:Star Wars Beam Sword.jpg|thumb|left|{{iw|wikipedia|Darth Vader}} and {{iw|wikipedia|Obi-Wan Kenobi}} square off using lightsabers; the weapons are a distinctive pop culture icon.]]
The Beam Sword acts as a reference to similar weapons found in various {{s|wikipedia|science fiction}} media, most prominently the {{s|wikipedia|lightsaber}} from the ''{{s|wikipedia|Star Wars}}'' film series. The item's sound effects are similar to those found in lightsabers, including the distinctive swinging sounds and sharp crackling noise when two swords [[Priority|collide]]. These sound effects were modified in the PAL and American releases of ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and all versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' to no longer resemble that of the lightsabers, but would be standardised to resemble the weapon in all regions from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' onwards. Furthermore, starting with ''Melee'', the Beam Sword's blade could retract in some animations, furthering the connection between the item and its source.

|desc=With its distinctive glowing blade, the Beam Sword is eye-catching and lethal. At first, the blade is about the size of a short sword, but the length changes depending on who wields it. The blade also lengthens in direct proportion to the power of an attack, so it reaches its maximum size when swung as a smash attack.

|desc=A sword with a blade of glowing energy. The length of the blade changes depending on the fighting spirit of the wielder. It has four attacks: a standard attack, a strong side attack, a side smash attack, and a dash attack. When doing a side smash attack, the beam sword's blade grows to three times its normal length--that's the best reach of all battering weapons.

|desc-pal=The blade of this sword is made of pure light energy. It's not very powerful, but depending on your attack, it can have a pretty long reach! Just wait till you use it for a side smash! You can make the most of its power by attacking enemies as they're falling, or when you're too far away for them to counter-attack.
