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. | ||
