A Morph Ball Bomb is a small time detonated explosive that Samus can deploy while in Morph Ball form. It can be used to damage enemies, as well as execute the Bomb Jump and related techniques. The bombs can also be used to destroy materials otherwise impervious to Samus' weaponry, such as Talloric Alloy. The supply of bombs is unlimited, though some appearances have a "cool down" period which only allows Samus to drop three bombs at a time. She regains the ability to drop one of these bombs after the bomb has been detonated for about a second.
Bombs are the basic weapons for Samus's Morph Ball. They can be used to break certain objects, and are essential for defeating certain bosses such as Flaahgra and Amorbis. Bombs can be used to activate Bomb Slots to help Samus advance. A more powerful Bomb called the Power Bomb can also be obtained.
The Bombs can also be used to propel Samus in the air, about twice the height of her Morph Ball. In the Prime series, a difficult but necessary technique called the Double Bomb Jump can be performed. In the 2-D games, the jump is very useful for Sequence Breaking.
In the 2D Metroid games, bombs appear as actual metal bombs, which flash until detonation. In the Prime Trilogy, bombs appear as blue energy balls when dropped and are surrounded by blue light when detonated.
