The '''Beam Sword''' is an item seen in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', the weapon was composed of a long pink blade of energy and had extremely long reach. The Beam Sword can also be thrown as an excellent projectile weapon for moderate damage. A thrown Beam Sword would also knock the foe back quite a ways.
 
In the original ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the Beamweapon Swordis hadcomposed purpleof huea andlong itspink blade was shorter.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the Beam Sword has a purple hue and its blade is shorter. However, the length of the blade changes depending on who picked the weapon up. The size also changes according to the strength of the attack &ndash; a Smash Attack gives the blade its maximum length. Throwing the Beam Sword results in minimal damage in this game, as well as a severely reduced knockback.
The Beam Sword has returned again in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', where it takes on a new bluish-white hue. In this game however, when used with a smash attack, the sword extends, allowing for the weapon to have a longer range.

Beam Swords reappear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' with a new design. The blade has a shape most similar to that of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', as well as graduated colors of red and blue. Unlike in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', the length of the blade is constant between characters.

|''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.''

|''A powerful sword with a blade of pure energy. It isn't the strongest weapon to land on the battlefield, but its shape can change based on how it is used to attack. A forward smash will make the blade especially long. Lash out at your foes from a distance&ndash;they can't hit back!''

==Trivia==
*The Japanese versions of ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' had sound effects for the Beam Sword that were similar to the ones used by [[Wikipedia:Star Wars''{{wp|Star Wars]]}}'' [[Wikipedia:Lightsaber{{wp|Lightsaber]]lightsaber}} sounds. TheThese sound effects were changed during their localization, althoughthough ''Superlater Smash Bros Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''instalments retain the sound effectsthem.
*It may be worth noting that another (though more recent) element of the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] may have also been inspired by the ''Star Wars''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> lightsaber: At the very least in retrospect, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] considers the dual blades [[Pit]] uses in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' similar to [[Wikipedia:Darth Maul|Darth Maul]]'s double-bladed lightsaber and is also revealed to be a fan of the ''Star Wars'' series.<ref>As revealed in volume 228 (May 2008) of ''Nintendo Power''.</ref>
