Continuing the traditional platforming gameplay as in the previous game, Spyro: Season of Ice, features a new storyline in both 2D and 3D environments. The story begins with Spyro, the dragon, taking a vacation in Dragon Shores. Meanwhile, a Rhynoc wizard has captured Zoe and frozen all the fairies in the Dragon Realms. Zoe sends a magic balloon to Spyro, hoping that he will come to her and the other fairies' rescue. As players set out to save the fairies, they will travel through more than 30 levels, and 12 unique environments, including Space Age Speedway, Lava Prairie, Hummingbird Village and more. In addition, gamers will also have the option of playing mini-games and a new 3D flying mode.
