The Boost Ball is an upgrade for the Morph Ball that has appeared in the Prime series. It allows 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.
Metroid Prime
The Boost Ball first appeared in Metroid Prime. It is found in Phendrana Canyon of Phendrana Drifts. It allows Samus to boost up half pipes and activate Spinner devices. It is needed to acquire several upgrades such as the Space Jump Boots and the Ice Beam.
Metroid Prime Hunters
Samus is in possession of the Boost Ball at the beginning of Metroid Prime Hunters
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
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 Tracks.
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
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.
Spinner Devices
The Boost Ball can operate active "Spinner Devices". Samus can enter Morph Ball Mode and enter the device, charge up her Boost Ball, and activate it rapidly to allow the device to open up a walkway, open a door, flip a switch, or as shown in Corruption, use static electricity to power up a conduit.

Samus's Notes
Metroid Prime
"When charging, the longer you hold 
, 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."[1]
Metroid Prime Hunters
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
"When charging, the longer you hold , 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. You can damage some enemies by "boosting" into them."[2]
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
"When charging, the longer you hold 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 these areas will let you reach higher places. Build a charge as you descend in the Half-pipe, then trigger the Boost as you ascend the other side. This will give you the speed and momentum you need to reach new heights. Some mechanisms will have circular channels that the Morph Ball can boost around. Repeatedly boosting through these channels will build a kinetic charge which will activate these devices. You can damage some enemies by boosting into them."[3]
Trivia
- There is a glitch in Metroid Prime that allows Samus to heavily damage Meta Ridley with a Boost attack.
