Origin
Missiles have appeared in every game in the Metroid series, starting with the original Metroid. Compared to the standard power beam, missiles are more powerful, capable of unlocking certain doors and defeating more powerful enemies, but with a limited supply that must be replenished from time to time. They are one of the first powerups acquired in each game, usually upon finding a Missile Tank. In the Metroid games, missiles did not have homing properties until Metroid Prime. However, Samus first had missiles with homing abilities in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Super Missiles debuted on Super Metroid as more powerful alternatives for common missiles, but with a more limited supply.
