====Morph Ball==== | ====Morph Ball==== | ||
The Morph Ball is Samus' alternate form, just like the other Hunters have theirs. When activated, Samus rolls into a ball approximately 1 meter in diameter. Samus become a ball of energy inside the ball with an approximate volume of ~0.52 cubic meters, somehow she can condense her entire being consciously and still maintain control. It is a key upgrade and lets Samus explore many many new areas. It can upgraded itself in many different ways. | |||
====Morph Ball Bomb==== | ====Morph Ball Bomb==== | ||
This is Samus' primary attack method while in Morph Ball form. It can destroy objects made of glass, [[Talloric Alloy]], and sandstone. It is relatively weak and doesn't do much damage, but is critical for defeating some bosses, such as [[Flaahgra]], the [[Power Bomb Guardian]], [[Quadraxis]], and [[Amorbis]], doing massive damage to all of them. It can also propel the Morph Ball up if laid directly on top of Samus and she doesn't move. | |||
====Power Bomb==== | ====Power Bomb==== | ||
This is Samus' most powerful item in her conventional weapon arsenal. When unleashed, it creates a massive thermonuclear explosion that can destroy any living thing within its radius, even going offscreen. It can destroy most enemies in one hit, including certain bosses. It can incinerate organic matter, meaning it can instantly kill [[Metroid|Metroids]] and [[Space Pirate|Space Pirates]] instantly. It can also instantly kill the [[Rhedogian]] in [[Metroid: Other M|Other M]], despite it's intense durability. It is also the only weapon powerful enough to destroy objects made of [[Bendezium]] and [[Denzium]] and [[Geron|Gerons]].. Lastly, it is the only weapon powerful enough to cause a [[Desbrachian]] to awaken on the [[Bottle Ship]], but a second one will not kill it. While the Power Bomb's devastation is dialed down quite a bit in the Prime subseries, it is still a very potent weapon and can kill most enemies instantly, including the light and a dark [[Ingsmasher|Ingsmashers]]. | |||
====Boost Ball==== | ====Boost Ball==== | ||
The Boost Ball is a movement system designed by the [[Chozo]] for the Morph Ball. Featured only in the Prime subseries and Hunters, it is a chargeable item that propels the Morph Ball at high speeds. It can damage most enemies and is useful for damaging low targets on several bosses in the games. It can also be used on half-pipe like formations that allow Samus to reach all new areas. It is used to activate the many many [[Spinner Device|Spinner Devices]] found all over the games and propel the Morph Ball away from [[Spider Ball Tracks]] in ''Echoes'' and ''Corruption''. | |||
====Ballspark==== | |||
The Ballspark is unique to Metroid: Zero Mission, it combines the [[Speedbooster]] and [[Morph Ball]]. When Samus builds up her energy with the Speedbooster, she can go into the Morph Ball and propel herself in one direction, the same as the Shinespark, but in a smaller form. | |||
====Spider Ball==== | ====Spider Ball==== | ||
The Spider Ball is an upgrade to the Morph Ball that allows Samus to cling to walls climb them to reach heights that are inaccessible by any other method. First appearing in [[Metroid II: Return of Samus]], it allowed Samus to cling to nearly any surface. In the Prime subseries, it is limited to [[Spider Ball Tracks]]. It functions the same in all games. It is key to defeating certain bosses and is one of the items stolen from Samus in the prologue to ''Echoes''. | |||
====Spring Ball==== | ====Spring Ball==== | ||
The Spring Ball is an upgrade that lets Samus hope while in Morph Ball form. Originally from [[Metroid II: Return of Samus]], it was also present in ''Corruption'' and the ''Trilogy'' Versions of Primes 1 and 2. In games with the [[High Jump Boots]], it comes automatically, but it must be collected on its own merit in ''Metroid II'' and ''Super Metroid''. | |||
====Hyper Ball==== | ====Hyper Ball==== | ||
The Hyper Ball is the Hyper Mode upgrade of the Morph Ball acquired from defeating [[Mogenar]] in [[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]. It can only be used in Hyper Mode. When activated, it releases what appears to be electricity from the Morph Ball and damages enemies. It is especially helpful to killing [[Metroid]]s. It does only work at close range and uses a lot of Phazon energy as opposed to other Hypermode attacks. | |||
