Morph Ball: Difference between revisions

The Morph Ball reappeared in the game ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'', a remake of the original ''Metroid''. It is once again located a pedestal in [[Brinstar]] right to the left of where Samus starts the game. Its role is identical to its role in the previous game, including the use of Bombs after the appropriate upgrade has been found.

Samus is in possession of the Morph Ball at the beginning of ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'', but she loses it when a wall of fire hits her on the [[Frigate Orpheon]]. Samus acquired it again after defeating a large group of [[Beetles]] and one [[Plated Beetle]] in the room known as the [[Ruined Shrine]] located in the [[Chozo Ruins]]. It functions the same as in previous installments, with the addition of the unlockable [[Boost Ball]] and [[Spider Ball]] features and the ability to lay [[Power Bomb|Power Bombs]] after the corresponding upgrade has been found.

Samus kept possession of the Morph Ball throughout ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', keeping possession of it even when the [[Ing]] swarmed over her, stealing most of her upgrades. The Morph Ball functions in the same manner as in ''Metroid Prime'', including the use of Bombs, the Boost Ball, the Spider Ball, and Power Bombs.

Once again, Samus possessed the Morph Ball through all the events of ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''. In this game, it was upgraded not only by the returning Boost Ball and Spider Ball, but a brand new upgrade known as the [[Hyper Ball]].  

In ''[[Super Metroid]]'', Samus loses the Morph Ball along with all of her other upgrades, leaving only the [[Power Beam]]. Fortunately, the Morph Ball is on the same pedestal just to the left of the elevator coming into [[Brinstar]]. In this game, the Morph Ball can be upgraded by both bombs and the new unlockable [[Spring Ball]], which enables Samus to jump in Morph Ball form. [[Power Bomb|Power Bombs]] can also be found in this game, and once again require the use of Morph Ball mode to be used.

In ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'', the Morph Ball, unlike most of Samus' abilities, never had any restrictions placed upon its usage by  [[Adam Malkovich]]. He did, however, place restrictions on Samus' use of the Morph Ball Bomb and Power Bombs, which once again had to be unlocked. Morph Ball Mode functions as in most other Metroid games, but it can only be activated in third-person mode.

When Samus is injected with a [[Metroid (species)|Metroid]] vaccine at the beginning of ''[[Metroid Fusion]]'', she loses all her abilities once again, including the Morph Ball. The Morph Ball is located in the [[Main Deck]], and can be obtained by defeating [[Arachnus X]]. The Morph Ball is once again upgraded by the Morph Ball Bomb and the Spring Ball, now known as the Jumpball.
