The '''Morph Ball''', known as '''Morphing Ball''' in ''[[Super Metroid]]'', is [[Samus Aran]]'s alternate form. When using the Morph Ball, Samus is transformed into a one meter diameter metallic sphere. This allows her to travel through tight passages that she would normally not be able to fit in.
