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 2: Echoes, although on a much larger scale. Wormholes appear only 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 gain control of a Leviathan in orbit of the Pirate Homeworld with the help of Samus Aran. Using the Leviathan, the Federation generate a wormhole to take the fleet to the planet Phaaze, the origin point of all the Leviathans. They also used one to escape the destruction of Phaaze.
