*The Varia Suit is the only suit to appear in every ''Metroid'' game, though ''Super Metroid'' is the first game where the Varia Suit gained its heat-resistant traits, and ''Metroid Fusion'' adds that it can also resist similarly-extreme cold. | *The Varia Suit is the only suit to appear in every ''Metroid'' game, though ''Super Metroid'' is the first game where the Varia Suit gained its heat-resistant traits, and ''Metroid Fusion'' adds that it can also resist similarly-extreme cold. The trait of it being resistant to extremely cold temperatures might also be due to the fact that in Fusion, she's now part metroid due to the vaccine that saved her life, as metroid are unable to survive in cold temperatures. | ||
*In ''[[Metroid: Other M|Other M]]'', Samus is supposed to avoid activating suit features that could damage the environment. Though neither the Varia nor the [[Gravity Suit|Gravity Features]] are known to do so, she does not activate and [[Adam Malkovich|Adam]] does not authorize them until after she has had her first encounter with dangerously hot environments and lava, and after the first battle against the gravity-manipulating [[Nightmare]], respectively. | *In ''[[Metroid: Other M|Other M]]'', Samus is supposed to avoid activating suit features that could damage the environment.

*In the first ''Metroid'', the Varia Suit was simply a then-pink version of the then-orange Power Suit. ''Metroid II'' was developed for a monochrome display, so the now-standard pauldrons were added, and artwork had already recolored the suit to be orange versus the Power Suit's new yellow. ''[[Zero Mission]]'' attempted to make peace with things by establishing two different Power Suits: the first is used throughout most of this first mission and retains the 'palette swap' nature (now orange) from the original game when the Varia Suit is applied to it, while the pauldrons and etc are part of [[Legendary Power Suit|a different suit Samus obtains after losing the previous one]]. Similarly, ''Fusion'' introduces the brand new [[Fusion Suit]] and makes the Varia (and the Gravity) Suit a palette swap of this base. | *In the first ''Metroid'', the Varia Suit was simply a then-pink version of the then-orange Power Suit.
