The '''Varia Suit''' | The '''Varia Suit''' ('''Varia''' in ''[[Metroid (game)|Metroid]]'' and ''[[Metroid II: Return of Samus]]''; '''Varia Feature''' in ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'') is a recurring [[Power Suit]] upgrade. It is of [[Chozo]] origin. The Varia Suit is often the second suit to be obtained. However, a few games, such as ''[[Metroid Prime Hunters]]'', ''[[Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]]'', and ''[[Metroid Prime 3: Corruption]]'', Samus never acquires this suit, as it is already active from the beginning. Throughout the ''Metroid'' series, the main function of the Varia Suit has been increased defense, but other applications have been added throughout the series. | ||

*The Varia Suit is the only suit to appear in every Metroid game | *Prior to ''Metroid II: Return of Samus'', the Varia Suit never had pauldrons. Due to the 8-bit capabilities of the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]], the color of the suit turned from an orange to salmon pink. | ||
* | **Because no distinction could be made based on the coloration of the [[Game Boy]], pauldrons were added. | ||
*''Super Metroid'' is the first game where the Varia Suit gained its heat-proof traits, although chronologically it is ''Metroid: Zero Mission''. | |||
*The Varia Suit is the only suit to appear in every ''Metroid'' game. | |||
*"Varia" is derived from a mistranslation of the word "Barrier". <ref>{{Hover|バリアスーツ|Bariasūtsu; Barrier Suit}}</ref> | |||
