My absolute favorite thing about the morphball is that even in canon it's a total mindfuck that makes no sense. Very light lore spoilers for Metroid Prime 1:

spoilerThere's a couple of research scans that essentially describe Space Pirate reverse engineering of Samus' morphball tech that basically say "This morphball shit is a lost cause. All our test crew have ended up as extremely dead pretzels. We should just quit while we're behind on this one."
