Flash is the indigo rainbow magic, introduced in [[Planet of the Z-Bots]]. A Flash spellball teleports objects it collides with into the far future ("flashes" them). The magic is then linked to the object, and the next time it is cast, it "re-flashes" the object back into the present at a new position. This allows the player to move various objects around the level. In the game engine, Flash simply teleports the object to (1, 1), and sets the object's appearance to be ghosty. Therefore, the (1, 1)s in all adventures with Flash are deliberately covered with high walls in order to hide tall objects (such as Fireflowers). | Flash is the indigo rainbow magic, introduced in [[Planet of the Z-Bots]].

Not all objects can be flashed. Most smaller objects, such as [[barrels]], [[Chompers]], [[Fireflowers]], [[Dragonturtles]], other [[Stinkers]] and even the player (though not possible without the use of Custom Adventures) can be flashed and re-flashed. Larger objects, including scenery objects such as houses and trees, are immune to Flash magic. Power Cubes are also immune, along with Motherships and Z-Bot Prime. In addition, Flash magic can only be cast on land – it has no effect when cast on water. | Not all objects can be flashed.
