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 ===
This is some of the basic tech you should get down.
* [[The L Button]]
* [[Jumping]]
* [[L-Jumping]]
* [[R-Jumping]]
* [[Bunny Hopping]]


=== Dashing ===
*Standard walking (11.84)
Dashing is the second fastest form of movement and is useful in many situations.
*Walking while holding L (11.8)
* [[Scan Dash (Prime)]]
*Dashing (35+)
* [[R-Dashes]]
*Rolling (20)
* [[Double Jump Dashes]]
*Boosting (uncapped)


=== Morph Ball ===
Some other notes:
Morph Ball is one of the most useful forms of movement, and is good when jumping or dashing is inconvenient.
* [[Rolling]]
* [[Boosting]]
* [[Bouncing]]
* [[Instant Morph/Unmorph|Instant Unmorph]]


=== [[Out of Bounds]] ===
*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>
Out of bounds is probably the most complicated thing in the game.  
*There is no sideways speedcap, this makes turning or moving sideways optimal.

General Movement

Fastest to Slowest: Rolling (Bottom Right), L-Jumping (Bottom Left), Holding L (Top Right), Walking (Top Left)

Listed are various movement forms and their speed caps:

  • Standard walking (11.84)
  • Walking while holding L (11.8)
  • Dashing (35+)
  • Rolling (20)
  • Boosting (uncapped)

Some other notes:

  • While you have a faster speed in general without holding L, you accelerate to that speed faster while holding the L button. (see also: The L Button)
  • There is no sideways speedcap, this makes turning or moving sideways optimal.
  • Space Jump Boots give you a higher vertical speedcap.
