Cossack Snow is a gimmick from Mega Man 4, found in the first stage of Dr. Cossack's Citadel. It is a thick bank of snow that slows down movement, making it harder for intruders to advance.

Cossack Snow was first made available in the devkit for Make a Good Mega Man Level 2, but the only entry to use it was Cardinal Man (as part of an iceberg early on). It also made an appearance in the Wily stage Reality Core and the Pit of Pits mini-stage "Trash Dash", both times with much more obvious tiles.

Behavior

When Mega Man tries to run through Cossack Snow, his movement speed will be drastically decreased. The blocks that signify Cossack Snow is present are invisible by default in gameplay, with tiles intended to be placed over them to convey thick snow (or something else entirely if one wishes).
