'''Varia Suit''' is the first suit upgrade in [[Metroid Prime]]. It is one of the items that Samus loses in the [[Space Pirate Frigate]], consequently downgrading Samus' suit to the Power Suit. It is guarded by [[Flaahgra]] in the room [[Sunchamber]].

The main use of Varia Suit is to avoid taking heat damage in the [[Magmoor Caverns]]. Most of the rooms in Magmoor Caverns have a flag set which detects if Samus is wearing the Varia Suit, and she will take damage at a constant rate if she enters these rooms without Varia. If Samus doesn't have Varia, but has a later suit upgrade such as [[Gravity Suit]] or [[Phazon Suit]], this effect still applies in the vanilla game. [[Randomizers]] may make it so that Gravity and Phazon suits do not apply this effect to Samus.

Varia Suit can be skipped in 20%, but the method of doing so is currently [[Tool-Assisted Speedruns|TAS]]-only, meaning that this doesn't apply to human [[Low%]], which is 21%. The only other method of skipping it is by grabbing up to five energy tanks and performing what is known as the [[Varialess Magmoor Run]], known as such since it's a route that goes through Magmoor without getting the Varia Suit.

Additionally, Varia Suit applies a 10% damage reduction to Samus.
