While Samus typically uses the Spider Ball to access hard to reach locations, she can use it in combat. Bosses such as [[Quadraxis]] and the [[Power Bomb Guardian]] have weaknesses that can only be reached with the Spider Ball. The [[Emperor Ing]] also requires use of the Spider Ball to climb on its magnetically charged chrysalis.
