The '''Boost Ball''' is an upgrade for the [[Morph Ball]] that has appeared in the ''Prime'' series. It allows [[Samus Aran|Samus]] to, when in Morph Ball mode, have an extra boost in speed, similar to the [[Speed Booster]]. The more Samus charges the boost, the faster she will go, relative to the [[Charge Beam]]. | The '''Boost Ball''' is an upgrade for the [[Morph Ball]] that has appeared in the ''Prime'' series.

Samus is in possession of the Boost Ball at the beginning of ''[[Metroid Prime Hunters]]''. It works slightly different than its other appearances. While in the [[Morph Ball]], if the player flicks the stylus in a direction, the ball will quickly boost in said direction. It requires a few moments to recharge, but requires no precharge to use. It is not required in any way to beat the game, only as a time saver in Morph Ball tunnels. | Samus is in possession of the Boost Ball at the beginning of ''[[Metroid Prime Hunters]]''.

In ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'', the Boost Ball is stolen by a [[Warrior Ing]] then reacquired by defeating the [[Boost Guardian]] in [[Dark Torvus Bog]]. It can now damage enemies on contact and is used to propel the Morph Ball to nearby [[Spider Ball Track|Spider Ball Tracks]]. | In ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'', the Boost Ball is stolen by a [[Warrior Ing]] then reacquired by defeating the [[Boost Guardian]] in [[Dark Torvus Bog]].

The Boost Ball is acquired in [[SkyTown]] after defeating the Defense Drone in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''. Like in Echoes, the Boost Ball can damage enemies and propel Samus to Spider Ball Tracks. It is required to free [[Aurora Unit 217]] and defeat [[Ghor]]. | The Boost Ball is acquired in [[SkyTown]] after defeating the Defense Drone in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''.

"When charging, the longer you hold {{GCIcon|B}} , the longer (and faster) the Boost Charge will be. Throughout the environment you will encounter U-shaped channels known as half-pipes. Using the Boost Ball in theses areas will let you reach higher places. Build a charge as you descend in the half-pip, then trigger the Boost as you ascend the other side. This will give you the speed and momentum you need to reach new heights."<ref>{{cite|When charging, the longer you hold {{GCIcon|B}} , the longer (and faster) the Boost Charge will be.
