&lt;div&gt;[[File:CrystalFlash.png|right|thumb|The Crystal Flash is shown in the game's [[Attract Mode]] after beating the game for the first time.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Crystal Flash''' is a technique which fully replenishes Samus's energy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Crystal Flash can only be performed if Samus has less than 51 energy with empty (or no) [[Reserve Tanks]], and can only be performed if Samus has 10 [[Missile|Missiles]], 10 [[Super Missile|Super Missiles]] and 10 [[Power Bombs]] at the point of activation; however, because performing a Crystal Flash requires a Power Bomb explosion, you should consider it as requiring 11 Power Bombs to perform instead of 10.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
User can perform Crystal Flash with only 2 packs of Power Bombs collected making 10 total. To do it correctly, player should time up the explosion right before enemy to get bounced off the ground due to explosion, and on landing collect the power bomb ammo drop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To activate the Crystal Flash (after planting a Power Bomb), L, R, down, and the shot button must be held as the Power Bomb's explosion ends, and Samus must be in the exact position (both horizontally and vertically) of the explosion, with zero vertical speed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Crystal Flash is utilized multiple times in [[List of rooms#Norfair|Norfair]]/[[List of rooms#Lower Norfair|Lower Norfair]] during [[Reverse Boss Order]] runs, since none of the [[Suit Upgrades|suit upgrades]], which protect against heat, are collected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Invulnerability==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While the Crystal Flash is active, Samus will not be granted a period of invulnerability if contact with an applicable [[Damage Sources|damage source]] is made, thus allowing enemies - especially mobile ones such as [[Zebbo|Zebbos]] - to potentially inflict tremendous damage.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;'''Number of Power Bomb Packs Needed'''&lt;br /&gt;
- Can you CF with only 2 packs if the bomb jump from the power bomb explosion knocks you into a Power Bomb ammo drop?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- Yes, it is possible to execute Crystal Flash with just two packs of Power Bombs. To perform it, user should time up the explosion right before enemy to gain height off the ground due to explosion and land on the power bomb ammo drop. This way you fit all the requirements needed to perform it - zero horizontal and vertical speed &amp;amp; be in the exact spot of the explosion.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
