'''Kinetic Orb Cannons''' are mechanisms that can launch the [[Morph Ball]] great distances at high velocity,<ref>{{cite|Fires small, spherical objects at high speeds.|Scan Data|[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]}}</ref> featured in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes|Echoes]]'' and ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption|Corruption]]''. The original purpose of the cannon is unclear, but it may have been designed for industrial use and later modified for use as a combat system.<ref name="Logbook"/> [[Samus Aran|Samus]] utilizes Kinetic Orb Cannons to sail over large distances or to shatter obstacles that can only be removed by heavy impact.<ref>{{cite|Combat damage to wall is heavy. Structural integrity critical.

The kinetic force resulting from using the cannon can also be used to eliminate enemies, including opponents in [[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes#Multiplayer|multiplayer mode]].

Most of the cannons in ''Corruption'' must be activated with a [[Spinner]] device, forcing Samus to find alternate routes or means of traversal to achieve her objective until she has acquired the [[Boost Ball]].<ref name="Logbook mp3"/>
 
The kinetic force resulting from using the cannon can also be used to eliminate enemies, including opponents in ''Echoes''' [[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes#Multiplayer|multiplayer mode]].
