==Spider Ball Tracks==
Spider Ball Tracks are necessary for the Spider Ball to function in the [[Metroid Prime (series)|''Metroid Prime'' series]]. The tracks altogether are referred to as the "Magnetic Rail System." The reason for these tracks is because, without them, Samus would too easily be able to roll through the walls on every room. These tracks are found throughout all three ''Prime'' games. The tracks are more often than not used to obtain [[Suit Expansion|suit expansions]] of some sort.


In ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'' and ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'' while still restricted to tracks, the Spider Ball gained the ability to be used in conjunction with the [[Boost Ball]] to boost away from the track that it was currently attached to. This ability could be used to jump from track to track, shatter cracked glass, and even damage a mini-boss.
