'''Murder Beam''' is the combination of [[Beam|all beams]]. It deals [[damage]] in a column over time, has the same damage type as [[Power Bomb|Power Bombs]], and can freeze enemies.<br />
<br />
Murder Beam has viability against [[bosses]], with the most prominent being [[Mother Brain]]'s second phase and third phase as it will persist during the cutscene between those phases. That being said, it is inferior for real-time due to causing a tremendous amount of lag and being slower in damage output than charged [[Ice Beam]]/[[Wave Beam]]/[[Plasma Beam]].<br />
<br />
To equip [[Spazer]] and Plasma Beam at the same time, open the inventory screen, equip Spazer, and move the marker to any of the [[Boots]] items. Then, press Left, and press A immediately afterward. Plasma Beam should then become equipped alongside Spazer with "VAR" next to it.<br />
<br />
Murder Beam can only be fired when fully charged and facing left. Firing in another direction and/or firing an uncharged shot will cause the game to crash. To prevent the game from crashing, a [[Charge Beam|charge]] should be initiated before entering the pause screen to enable this beam.<br />
