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. | The '''Boost Ball''' is an upgrade for the [[Morph Ball]] that has appeared in the ''Prime'' series.

"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.
