Morph Ball Bombs are an upgrade to Samus' Morph Ball in the Metroid series. In the Prime games, they serve several roles: mainly to activate bomb slots and to gain vertical height. If you stay close to a bomb while in Morph Ball form when it detonates, you will do a Bomb Jump. In the original release of Metroid Prime, it is possible to chain multiple bomb jumps. It is also possible to unmorph from a Bomb Jump to gain even more height with the Space Jump Boots, in what is known as a Bomb Space Jump (BSJ for short). In Prime 1, it is acquired by defeating the Incinerator Drone in Burn Dome. In Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, it is acquired from defeating Bomb Guardian in Agon Temple.
Metroid Prime
The original release of Metroid Prime offered the greatest amount of freedom with regards to bomb jumping. It is possible to have up to 5 active bombs on screen at once. This freedom allows for entire different categories of bomb jumps to exist, in particular the Uber Bomb Jump (UBJ) and the Half Pipe Bomb Jump (HPBJ) which are most often used in low% categories.
The maximum amount of height that can be gained with the morph ball bombs alone is currently known to be 9.967 units.
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
With Echoes, there are additional restrictions that were made as a result of changes to the bomb timer, meaning that there can only be 3 active bombs at one point now. As a result, 3BJs are now the way in which the maximum amount of height with bombs alone can be achieved.
