'''Spinners''' are puzzle devices in the [[Metroid Prime (series)|''Metroid Prime'' series]]. These devices are activated in conjunction with the [[Boost Ball]] upgrade to either activate generator belts through rotational force, in ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'' and ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', or to generate kinetic energy, in ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]''. These devices serve a variety of purposes, from moving objects to activating machines. They act as a barrier to [[Samus Aran|Samus]] throughout the games, forcing her to acquire the Boost Ball upgrade before progressing. She can disengage herself from any spinner device prematurely using a [[Morph Ball Bomb]]. | |||

===''Metroid Prime''=== | |||
In ''Metroid Prime'', spinners are used to adjust the position of a variety of devices in [[Magmoor Caverns]], the [[Glacier One]] research facility in [[Phendrana Drifts]], and the [[Phazon Mines]]. Samus uses spinner devices to lower bridges, aim [[Industrial Grade Pulse Beam|mining drills]], and active the nodes of a [[Astronomical Holographic Projector|projector]], among other things. | |||
===''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes''=== | |||
In ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes'', spinners mimic the functionality of their ''Prime'' predecessors. They are used extensively in the technologically advanced [[Sanctuary Fortress]] region, but are also found in [[Torvus Bog]], [[Agon Wastes]], and the [[Temple Grounds]], and their [[Dark Aether|dark counterparts]]. Like many objects on [[Aether]], some spinners are trapped in a state of [[Transdimensional Flux]] and must be manipulated on the surface of one dimension to affect circumstances in the other. | |||
Samus uses spinners to adjust devices such as [[Luminoth Laser Emitter]]s, [[Luminoth Laser Turret]]s, a security system in the [[Grand Windchamber]] protecting the [[Sunburst]], and a vault in the [[Hall of Honored Dead]] protecting the [[Seeker Missile]], among other things. | |||
