I don't know a clue about this thing-I don't have the game,either.
Want it though.

ANYWAY,back on topic.
Murder Beam,what is it and what does it do. I want a good answer.
Not "go to Gamefaqs" or something like that.

There needs to be a Glitch section in the SM vids...

If I'm right, it's when your charging a beam, then change to Spazer/Plasma beam in the menu (mind you, your still charging). Then get out of the menu and shoot. If I'm wrong, correct me please.

I don't think you need to charge. You just have to equip both Spazer and Plasma and de-equip Wave beam and shoot. Some massive slowdown ensues and the Mother Brain is continuously damaged. Check out Red Scarlet's run to see it in action: http://www.metroid2002.com/3/speed_runs_3_one_hundred_percent_60_red_scarlet.html

No, you have to charge 4 beams, then equip all 5 of them at once, then release it.

It's basically a multi-hitting attack that stays on the screen if done correctly.

If done incorrectly (like facing right or aiming diagonally) it gives your Super Nintendo teh black screen fo death, like on comps, but black and not blue.

woot

Ready and willing.

Firing all 5 beams throws your SNES into complete chaos. It's the closest a console will get to melting down and screaming "What a world! What a world!" Because of said extreme stress, it works differently on an emulator (tho I don't hear anything about the murder beam being different). In big enough rooms, you can actually fire it without completely crashing the game. On the console, IIRC, you can fire it in a certain spot, and when you walk through the door there, you end up back on Ceres, and every item comes back. The emulator version has the so called "Space-Time" beam, but I'm not sure what that's about. I think the time part is a similar game reset, tho.

haha i think the murder beam has glitched the game making speed booster a weapon and it has no way of Firing the speed booster. and i think that all 5 beams equiped at the same time would make the Hyper beam. just my opinion tho.

Too many fangirls to count

If done right you can beat mother brain without lifting a finger.

Scarily, I understood some of that. But yeah, it was unnecessary.
