A fresh batch of Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice details have emerged via a listing on Play-Asia. The retailer’s overview has information about the plot as well as gameplay.
Here’s the full description:
The super villain, Dr. Eggman, discovers a powerful Ragnium element in Ragna Rock island which can fuel his robots and make them faster than Sonic. He then commands his mining robots to search the mythical island. D-Fekt, as one of them malfunctions and is now able to magnetize everything except Ragnium. With this capability, D-Fekt gains more power and messes up the environment of other islands creating fire and ice! Dr. Eggman makes him one of Island Defenders and now ready to face Team Sonic!
Together with our main protagonist, his friends return in their revamped version with their powers still fully intact. Adding to the lineup of playable characters is their friend, Amy Rose. Stop villains, retrieve islands, and bring back the balance in the environment using Sonic’s speed, Tail’s flight, Knuckles’ strength, Sticks’ boomerang, and Amy’s hammer! Mix their unique abilities with the power of fire and ice to pass through obstacles, solve puzzles, and freeze enemies!
Battle with four huge bosses which occupy both 3DS screens! Test your character’s speed and compete in an all-new Bot Racing game with 2 players local play. Play six exploration-based levels and bonus stages such as halfpipe run like the Special Stage from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, calmer underwater stage where a player pilots the Sea Fox and look for collectibles, and third stage which the player pilots a hovercraft and dodges icebergs.
Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice will be out in stores on September 27 in North America and September 30 in Europe.

Rumor: Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice now slated for Fall 2016, Mario & Sonic Wii U in June
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors, Wii U | 24 Comments
Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice was originally slated for Fall 2015. Last September though, SEGA ended up pushing the game back to sometime this year. We’ve yet to receive any news updates since then.
A photo taken at Tomy’s booth from the New York Toy Fair may have revealed an updated release window. If what’s mentioned by the toy manufacturer is accurate, we won’t be seeing Fire & Ice until sometime this fall.
That’s not all though. Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games on Wii U is rumored for June. And for those interested in the Sonic Boom cartoon, that’s apparently set to return this fall as well.
Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice coming to Japan as well

Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice is officially launching in all major territories. At an anniversary event for the franchise, SEGA announced that the game will be releasing in Japan this winter.
For the most part, the name will be mostly the same. It’ll be called “Sonic Toon: Fire & Ice” in Japan.
