|caption=A '''Half Pipe''' structure in [[Chozo Ruins]]

'''Half Pipes''' are structures found throughout the ''[[Metroid Prime (series)|Metroid Prime]]'' series. They are formed of two concave ramps with a flat middle section and vary in height. [[Samus Aran|Samus]] can use the [[Boost Ball]] on these Half Pipes to climb up the walls of them.

==Properties==

Half Pipes are the product of various natural and artificial occurrences; examples include the large Half Pipe structure in [[Phendrana Canyon]] which is a product of ice frozen in a smooth pattern and the Half Pipe in [[Command Courtyard]] which was created by a [[Space Pirate]] mining drill.

 

Half Pipe structures work with the Boost Ball much like [[Wall Jump Surface]]s with the [[Screw Attack]] or [[Spider Ball Track]]s with the [[Spider Ball]]; Half Pipes are only useful once Samus has obtained the Boost Ball. To use them, Samus must boost back and forth in her [[Morph Ball]], using gravity in conjunction with kinetic energy produced by the Boost Ball to gain momentum and reach higher places. [[Suit Expansion|Expansion]]s are often placed near or above these surfaces.
