Varia Suit

The Varia Suit is a suit Samus Aran wears in the Metroid series. Generally considered her trademark suit, the Varia Suit is different in appearance from the standard Power Suit in that it adds two, sphere shaped shoulder pads to the suit (Metroid II: Return of Samus onwards).

Metroid series
The Varia Suit has appeared in nearly every Metroid game including Metroid (and Metroid: Zero Mission), Metroid II: Return of Samus, Super Metroid, Metroid Prime, Metroid Fusion, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, Metroid Prime: Hunters, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption and Metroid: Other M. The Varia Suit grants Samus new abilities such as speed increases (Metroid II), damage reduction, and heat resistance.

Super Smash Bros. series
Samus' standard costume in Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl is the Varia Suit. Players can alter the color of the suit if they wish. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a trophy is dedicated specifically to the Varia Suit.

Trophy description
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
 * "A suit with a higher level of protection than the Power Suit. It eliminates damage caused by very hot or cold areas. It is also more resilient to enemy attacks than the Power Suit and greatly differs in shoulder design. Recent visual depictions of Samus often show her wearing the Varia Suit. "
