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 {{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.
