In Metroid Prime, movement is the highest priority of the game; it is very important to get the fundamentals down, as this is what helps you improve and go faster.
Listed are various movement forms and their speed caps:


=== The Basics ===
*Standard walking (11.84)
This is some of the basic tech you should get down.
*Walking while holding L (11.8)
* [[The L Button]]
*Dashing (35+)
* [[L-Jumping]]
*Rolling (20)
* [[R-Jumping]]
*Boosting (uncapped)
* [[Bunny Hopping]]


=== Dashing ===
Some other notes:
Dashing is the second fastest form of movement and is useful in many situations.
* [[Dash Jump (Prime)|Dash Jump]]
* [[R-Dashes]]
* [[Double Jump Dashes]]


=== Morph Ball ===
*While you have a faster speed in general without holding L, you accelerate to that speed faster while holding the L button. <small>(''see also'': [[The L Button]])</small>
Morph Ball is one of the most useful forms of movement, and is good when jumping or dashing is inconvenient.
*There is no sideways speedcap, this makes turning or moving sideways optimal.
* [[Rolling]]
*[[Space Jump Boots]] give you a higher vertical speedcap.
* [[Boosting]]
* [[Bouncing]]
* [[Instant Morph/Unmorph|Instant Unmorph]]


=== Out of Bounds ===
