The Hyper Ball (ハイパーボール Haipā Bōru) is a Phazon-powered Morph Ball attack in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

Overview

The upgrade is obtained by Samus Aran after defeating the Guardian of the Bryyonian Phazon Core, Mogenar, in the Bryyo Seed.

Once Samus Aran enters Hypermode and enters Morph Ball mode, she can use this attack. The Hyper Ball releases a large amount of Phazon in a such a way that resembles arcs of electricity. This Phazon based attack has a relatively short range with homing capabilities and as such, will automatically seek nearby targets when used, similar to the Wavebuster of Metroid Prime and the Shock Coil of Metroid Prime Hunters. The attack deals somewhat high, rapid damage, but quickly shortens the amount of time that Samus can stay in Hypermode; this means the Hyper Ball is handy if Samus needs to get out of Corrupt Hypermode quickly.

The numerous streams of energy produced make it useful for attacking a cluster of enemies, as well as lone Metroids.

The Hyper Ball in a full second shares the same Energy amount used in PED Tank with Hyper Missile in different rate of attack time, but their damage amount are different.

TIP: Offensively, the Hyper Ball is more proficient than Morphball bombs. Not only does the Hyper Ball inflict more damage, but it has a better range. Still, your beam weapons are much more accurate and easier to deploy in open areas."

Trivia

• It is similar to the Death Ball from Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Multiplayer.
• This upgrade replaces the Power Bomb used in the other Metroid games despite being much less effective.
• The Hyper Ball came about from various Morph Ball systems developed by Kynan Pearson and Andy O'Neil. Many of these systems involved elemental effects, including ice, fire and electricity. The latter eventually evolved into the Hyper Ball.
