Metroid Prime: Blast Ball is a multiplayer demo for Metroid Prime: Federation Force, containing only the game's Blast Ball game mode. It was released on July 21, 2016 on the American and European Nintendo 3DS eShop, after being announced at the Nintendo World Championships 2015 on July 15, simply as Blast Ball, to be revealed as the complete title the next day with the announcement of Federation Force.

Upon starting the demo, General Miles will ask if the player wishes to practice or begin a match. If the player has done well enough, they will unlock the Shooting Range and Combat Sim tutorial for the Campaign. While the demo was said to lose online support in September, by which point the full game would have been released, online play support lasted until December 31st at 23:59 PM. Blast Ball in the full game would still be supported.
