The '''Boost Ball''' is an upgrade for the [[Morph Ball]] that has appeared in the ''Prime'' series. It allows [[Samus Aran|Samus]] to charge up energy and boost forward with a massive amount of momentum when in Morph Ball Form, similar to the [[Speed Booster]]. The more Samus charges the boost, the faster she will go, similar to the [[Charge Beam]]. The Boost Ball can cause damage to most enemies on contact.

===''Metroid Prime Hunters''===

Samus is in possession of the Boost Ball at the beginning of ''[[Metroid Prime Hunters]]''. It functions in a slightly different way than in the other games it appears in. 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 it does not need to charge before use. It is not required in any way to beat the game, only as a time saver in Morph Ball tunnels.

 

In ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'', the Boost Ball is stolen by a [[Warrior Ing]] near the beginning of the game, and is then reacquired by defeating the [[Boost Guardian]] in [[Dark Torvus Bog]]. It now can be used to propel the Morph Ball to nearby [[Spider Ball Track]]s.

 

"When charging, the longer you hold {{WiiIcon|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."<ref>{{cite|When charging, the longer you hold {{WiiIcon|B}}, the longer (and faster) the boost charge will be.

*There is a [[Glitches in Metroid Prime#Meta Ridley Glitch|glitch in ''Metroid Prime'']] that allows Samus to heavily damage [[Meta Ridley]] with a Boost attack when he is on the ground.

*In ''[[Metroid: Zero Mission]]'' Samus can actually perform a move just like the upgrade, she's able to use the [[Shinespark]] in morph ball format, when she does and hits a ramp (this is done like how the move works normally as well) she does keep the momentum going as if she's not in ball form.
