Using light analog inputs, it is possible to get Samus moving in one direction, boost in that direction, and then have Samus be facing in a different direction when she is unmorphing. This is because the game updates Samus' facing angle to the direction she is rolling in when the player uses stronger analog inputs (i.e. when the analog stick is fully pointing in one direction.) | Using light analog inputs, it is possible to get Samus moving in one direction, boost in that direction, and then have Samus be facing in a different direction when she is unmorphing.

When the game starts, Samus will already have Boost Ball in her inventory, and this can be kept using [[Item Loss Skip]]. If the player goes through the item loss sequence however, Boost Ball can be obtained by fighting [[Boost Guardian]] in [[Dark Torvus Arena]]. The Boost Ball has a greater delay between boosts in Echoes (about a second), making infinite boosting impossible and reducing its overall speed benefits. | When the game starts, Samus will already have Boost Ball in her inventory, and this can be kept using [[Item Loss Skip]].

===Boost Cooldown=== | |||
After performing a Boost, the game starts a short timer lasting approximately a second. This timer restricts Samus from boosting until it returns back to 0. Due to the way this timer is programmed, it has a number of small quirks. Namely, if Samus performs a Boost and unmorphs immediately afterwards, then the timer will be stuck until Samus morphs again. This means that the next time Samus morphs, it will take longer than normal for Boost Ball to start charging again, because the cooldown period still won't have ended by that point. | |||
