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 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]]. | |||
