Frozen Town Stage

Frozen Town Stage (氷の町ステージ) is Blizzard Buffalo's stage in Mega Man X3, a residential area in the southeast of Dopple Town that was frozen by Blizzard Buffalo.

Description
The stage mainly takes place in a frozen and damaged street with slippery terrain and several Mavericks. In the middle of the stage is the Nightmare Police room and a dark underground area that contains a Warp Capsule to the Vile Stage. After leaving the underground, X will enter a street that has a snowstorm being caused by a device. If the player fails to get the Foot Parts, the device can be used to rise back to the top area to try again. The device can also be destroyed, stopping the snowstorm and improving visibility, but preventing the player to go back up if the Foot Parts were not taken. The device returns if the player leaves the stage or loses a life. In the end of the stage X fights against Blizzard Buffalo inside a building.

After Volt Catfish is defeated, electricity will return to the town and the street lights will flicker on and off. Lamps will turn on in the underground tunnel and melt the ice in that area, making it less slippery and dim.

Other media
In the Rockman X3 manga, Blizzard Buffalo started freezing a town near the ski resort he works after becoming a Maverick. X tried to stop him, and Buffalo said that X would not get in the way of his art, wishing to make a beautiful world without humans. After seeing Toshihiko, he runs away, but later returns to continue his rampage, being fought by X inside an emergency evacuation dome (緊急時用避難ドーム). Blizzard Buffalo returns to normal after taking a heavy hit on his head.

Trivia

 * The theme music of Frozen Town Stage was modified with a Christmas touch and used for the 2020 Christmas event stage in Rockman X DiVE, which itself is based on the Snow Base stage from Mega Man X4.
