'''Spider Ball Tracks''' are magnetically charged tracks used in the [[Metroid Prime (series)|''Metroid Prime'' series]] to scale walls using the [[Spider Ball]]. Using these, [[Samus Aran|Samus]] can reach areas she otherwise could not. They appear to have been created by the [[Chozo]] alongside the [[Spider Ball]]. The technology seems to have been shared with the [[Luminoth]], [[Bryyonian]]s, and the [[Galactic Federation]] and stolen by the [[Space Pirate]]s. They appear throughout [[Tallon IV|Tallon's]] surface, [[Aether]] and [[Dark Aether]], [[Bryyo]], [[SkyTown]], and even [[Pirate Homeworld]].  


In ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'', the only way Samus could reach another track was by using [[Morph Ball Bomb|Bombs]] or disengaging the Spider Ball to fall to the next series of tracks. While in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes|Metroid Prime 2]]'' and ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption|Metroid Prime 3]]'', the [[Boost Ball]] can propel to another set of tracks.

Spider Ball Tracks usually appear to be made of an unknown metal with glowing lines along it. This metal is magnetic. However, in ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', some Spider Ball Tracks in the [[Sanctuary Fortress]] appear as blue tracks with slanted lines. The equivalent tracks in the [[Ing Hive]] are red in appearance. The composition of these types of tracks are unknown.
