The Varialess Magmoor Run, or VMR, is the name given to the act of navigating the [heated] rooms in Magmoor Caverns. Previously thought to be only for randomizer or novelty purposes, the VMR has been theorized to save time in 100%.

History

September 18th, 2003 - VMR first theorized by user Xin.

April 2nd, 2004 - [Ice Beam Before Flaahgra] discovered by runner Flamancipator. This allowed for a 4th energy tank to be collected.

June 28th, 2004 - User Ekarderif states that Kip has completed a 4 Tank VMR with 3 energy remaining.

July 7th, 2005 - Runner smilingjack13 completes the 3 Tank VMR. At the time, the use of [Secret Worlds] was banned. This completion of the VMR was significant because it proved that you didn't need to go out of bounds at any point to skip Varia Suit.

March 26th, 2016 - TASer FusionVaria completed the 2 Tank VMR TAS. This was a proof of concept made using savestates and slowdowns. A 2 Tank VMR has yet to be completed under RTA conditions.
