Extra Ball

An Extra Ball is pickup that appears in Metroid Prime Pinball. It grants Samus another ball, and as such allows Samus to return to the field after going down the gutter.

Starting lives
In Multi Mission, Samus starts with two balls and more can be obtained. In the Single Mission tables Tallon Overworld and Pirate Frigate, Samus starts with two balls and can obtain more. In the Single Mission tables Phendrana Drifts, Phazon Mines, and the Impact Crater, Samus starts with no extra lives and none can be obtained.

Obtaining Extra Balls
Extra Balls can be obtained in many different ways: mini-games, points, and as a reward.

Mini-games
Mini-games will occasionally give Extra Balls instead of Specials, but not instead of Artifacts. The exception is the Wall Jump mini-game, which gives an Extra Ball the second time Samus enters on a table without fail.

Points
Samus gets an Extra Ball every time her point total reaches a certain threshold. Known point totals that grant an Extra Ball are:


 * 2,000,000 points,
 * 5,000,000 points,
 * 10,000,000 points,
 * and 50,000,000 points.

Rewards
On rare occasions the Bomb Slot will grant Samus an Extra Ball, this also replenishes the Force Field for a short time.
