Spider Ball Tracks are magnetically charged tracks used in the Metroid Prime series to scale walls using the Spider Ball. Using these, Samus can reach areas she otherwise could not. They appear to have been created by the Chozo alongside the Spider Ball. The technology seems to have been shared with the Luminoth, Bryyonians, and the Galactic Federation and stolen by the Space Pirates. They appear throughout Tallon's surface, Aether and Dark Aether, Bryyo, SkyTown, and even Pirate Homeworld.
In Metroid Prime, the only way Samus could reach another track was by using Bombs or disengaging the Spider Ball to fall to the next series of tracks. While in Metroid Prime 2 and Metroid Prime 3, the Boost Ball can propel to another set of tracks.
Spider Ball Tracks usually appear to be made of an unknown metal with glowing lines along it. This metal is magnetic. However, in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, some Spider Ball Tracks in the Sanctuary Fortress appear as blue tracks with slanted lines. The equivalent tracks in the Ing Hive are red in appearance. The composition of these types of tracks are unknown.
