Think you have what it takes to beat the game only using the Power Beam as your only beam (with exceptions)?
Then good luck! You will need it! Feel free to post videos here of your playthrough if you think you can handle it.
Apologies if this isn't the place for such a topic.

-Rules-
[spoiler]* The only beam weapon that can be used against bosses and enemies is the power beam. You can use other weapons against the Ninja Pirates after the first time round for convenience sake.

*This challenge can be attempted on Vanilla or Project Base.

*You can collect as many missiles as you want but you may only have 5 super missiles and 5 power bombs.

* Ice beam may be used against Metroids.

* You may only collect a max of 4 energy tanks and 4 Reserve tanks.

* Missiles may be used against Metroids, Draygons Turrets and Mother Brains first glass container fight.

*The Power Beam combo may NOT be used.

* Speed Booster and Screw attack are fine to use against regular fodder since its not really a challenge using only the Power Beam against them.

* You may not quick kill Draygon with the grapple beam using his broken turrets. You may not use this to kill enemies either.

*no Rewinds or Save States.

*You can waste missiles to manipulate the Torizo's since you aren't damaging him. Smart play is still allowed :)
