MORPH BALL
This is the standard morph ball. As soon as you gain access to it, you'll see it's wonderfully useful to manouver yourself throught the tight spaces of Tallon IV. The main downfall at first is your complete lack of defense, although it can be quicker than walking in your suit.

BOMBS
Your first upgrade to the morph ball is the bomb. Finally, a bit of weaponary. The bomb is not only useful for destroying small enemies, but allow Samus to access morph ball slots and tunnels above ground height by jumping. Furthermore, and advanced technique, double jumping, can propel samus to new heights in her ball.

BOOST BALL
Next upgrade in line for the morph ball - speed. The boost ball allows the morph ball to...well...boost, and is useful for dodging. Mainly, however, it is used for the many half-pipe structures around Tallon IV, allowing Samus to reach even more new areas.

SPIDER BALL
IMO the coolest upgrade available in Metroid Prime, the Spider Ball allows for Samus to navigate the plethora of magnetic tracks available throughout the worlds. This is done by holding R in morph ball form. The Spider Ball also upgrades the look of Samus's ball, by changin the main tone and trail to green and the overall design is made to look even better. "Cool" comes nowhere near describing it. Check out the screenshot for an idea, but you have to see this in motion for the real effect.
