Samus using the "Crystal Flash" technique in Super Metroid.
The Crystal Flash is a technique used in Super Metroid to regain health outside Energy Charge stations or ship. According to the Nintendo Power magazine's Super Metroid comic released near the release of Super Metroid[1], when the Chozo adopted young Samus Aran and brought her to Zebes after she was orphaned by a Space Pirate raid on K-2L, they had infused her with Chozo blood, endowed her with the Power Suit, and taught her one of their greatest technological achievements: the Crystal Flash technique embedded in the Power Suit, which could be used as a last resort measure for healing. The technique creates a unique spheric cocoon around Samus, allowing her to absorb all of the energy of the Power Bomb, healing completely out of critically low health.
It's performed by following these steps:
- Samus must have 50 or less energy, nothing in her reserves, and at least 10 Missiles, 10 Super Missiles, and 11 Power Bombs.
- Samus must morph into a ball.
- Holding down + aim up button + aim down button (default L and R) + fire button will initiate the Crystal Flash. This will result in Samus rising into the air in a ball of light, suitless, while her energy tanks rapidly refill. i like poop
Notes: Power Bombs must be selected for this Technique. Also the ammo supply will drop as the Crystal Flash is performed.
There is a glitch related to the Crystal Flash that allows Samus to access the Super Missiles that Spore Spawn rewards from the wrong way. [1]
Trivia
- Zero Suit Samus's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Power Suit Samus, has a similar appearance to the Crystal Flash.
- Metroid: Other M features an energy restoration mechanism that allows Samus to recharge a small amount of energy when she can concentrate (that is, when she is not being attacked by enemies) as well as all of her Missiles that may be similar to or even be the Crystal Flash.[2]
