Snow Mountain Stage (雪山ステージ),[1] also known as Snowfield Stage (雪原ステージ)[2] and Abandoned Missile Base,[3] is Chill Penguin's stage in the Mega Man X, Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, and Mega Man Xtreme.
Description[]
Mega Man X / Maverick Hunter X[]
It is a snowy mountain that was taken by Chill Penguin, from where he planned to use avalanches to crush nearby cities under tons of snow (or in the case of Maverick Hunter X, launch missiles). X had the task to stop him before it happened. The stage begins outside, before going underground and climbing back upwards. There is then a Ride Armor available, followed by an upward slope section before the boss room. If the player completes the stage, the lava in the Factory Stage (Flame Mammoth's stage) will be frozen, allowing X to walk over it with impunity.
Notably, in the original Mega Man X the Foot Parts capsule is entirely unavoidable. However, in Maverick Hunter X the capsule contains the Helmet Parts and is relocated to a more discreet location.
Mega Man Xtreme[]
A digital recreation of the stage appears in Mega Man Xtreme, created by the Mother Computer. It is identical to its original appearance, except the Ride Armor is now a Rabbit Ride Armor.

Trivia[]
Snow Mountain as an erroneous screenshot in the corner.
- A screenshot of this stage in Mega Man X was erroneously used as an introduction image for Snow Base stage in Mega Man X DiVE. This was later revised with a screenshot from Mega Man X4 in an update.
- When X's health is low, his breath can be seen on this stage.
