'''Ice Beam''' is a beam upgrade that increases the [[damage]] of Samus's beam and applies a freezing property to the beam. When an enemy that can be frozen is struck by the beam, and the beam's damage would have brought that enemy to or below zero health, it will cause the enemy to be frozen.

It is acquired in the majority of categories, although it takes a variable amount of time to obtain depending on what items Samus has at the time of attempting to obtain it.

Ice Beam allows for swift and safe destruction of Metroids in [[List of rooms#Tourian|Tourian]] (as otherwise, they would require multiple Power Bomb explosions to destroy), and can be used for various tricks, like the [[14%#Techniques|Mochtroid clip]] and [[14%#Techniques|Zebetite skip]].
