Boost Ball: Difference between revisions

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

The Boost Ball first appeared in ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]''. It is found in Phendrana Canyon of [[Phendrana Drifts]]. It allows Samus to boost up half pipes and activate [[Spinner Device]]s. It is needed to acquire several upgrades such as the [[Space Jump Boots]] and the [[Ice Beam]].

Samus is in possession of the Boost Ball at the beginning of ''[[Metroid Prime Hunters]]''. It works slightly different than its other appearances. 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 requires no precharge to 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]] 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 Track|Spider Ball Tracks]].
