One of the most prominent, integral, and representative items of the Metroid games, the Morph Ball (モーフボール, Mōfu Bōru) sometimes called the Morphing Ball, or the "Maru Mari," is the Alt-Form of Samus Aran that turns her into a sphere that is almost 1 meter in diameter. It allows her to explore small tunnels which usually lead to rooms with crucial items in them.

The Morph Ball, like many other components of Samus's Power Suit, is modular. The Morph Ball can receive upgrades such as Bombs, the Boost Ball, the Spider Ball, and Power Bombs.
