Leviathan wormhole 2

The seventh Federation Fleet enters a wormhole.

Wormholes are rifts in the fabric of space that can transport matter great distances upon entry. They have a similar appearance and function to the Portals of Metroid Prime Hunters and Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, although on a much larger scale. Wormholes appear most prominently in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption.

Wormholes appear at first as bursts of white light, then explode into a swirling purple void. This void is a gate to another part of the universe, and acts as a shortcut through time and space.

The living meteors "Leviathans" can generate wormholes to expedite their journeys. Leviathans can rip open rifts using a special beam that opens the wormhole. This feature allows them to reach the selected planet of impact much faster than normal space travel methods. Near the end of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, the Galactic Federation gains control of the Leviathan Battleship in orbit of the Pirate Homeworld with the help of Samus Aran. Using the Leviathan, the Federation generates a wormhole to take the fleet to the planet Phaaze, the origin point of all the Leviathans. They later use one to escape the destruction of Phaaze.

In Metroid Prime: Federation Force, another type of wormhole appears. This wormhole is used during M10: Black Hole by the Space Pirates to bring in Transports carrying interstellar missiles which are capable of destroying the Aegis.

A wormhole appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as part of Dark Samus's on-screen appearance.
