A new addition to Fire & Ice is the addition of fire and ice elements, which apply both to the level environments and character abilities. Like the previous game, players are able to switch between characters at will in order to use their unique abilities such as Sonic's speed, Tails' flight, Knuckles' strength, Sticks' boomerang, and Amy's hammer. In addition to Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Sticks, Amy returned from Rise of Lyric as a playable character.

Like the previous 3DS entry, Shattered Crystal, Fire & Ice is a side-scrolling platform game in which Sonic and his companions fight their way through various stages.
