Players take on the role of Manny, Diego, and Sid as they navigate a treacherous world frozen by climate change, following the story of the film.
The gameplay involves switching between the three animal friends to use their unique abilities to overcome obstacles in each level. Manny's strength allows him to push boulders or swim through lakes, while Diego can swipe through bushes or leap over chasms. Sid's slow and steady approach enables him to melt ice blocks, climb walls, and cross cracking iceflows.
Interwoven with the puzzle-solving action are Scrat levels, where players control the hyperactive rodent as he leaps, tunnels, and flies through fast-paced sidescroller levels in pursuit of his prized acorns. The game features over 30 adventure levels, boss levels, and six Scrat levels.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This action-adventure game casts players as Manny, Sid, and Diego in a mission to rescue stranded animals from melting ice dams caused by the menacing Maelstrom and Cretaceous. Navigate through diverse, puzzle-filled environments to help the herd migrate to safety while exploring new alliances with Ellie, Crash, and Eddie. Additionally, players can engage in high-speed bonus challenges to help Scrat collect his elusive acorns.
Story
INTRODUCTION
The Ice Age is coming to an end! The ice dam is melting, and a pair of sinister aquatic reptiles-Maelstrom and Cretaceous-have shown up to speed things along. Take control of three unlikely friends-Manny, Sid and Diego-and guide them through a series of unique puzzle-laden environments to rescue stranded animals.
In between these levels, you can help Scrat collect all of his acorns in special high-speed Scrat Rush challenges.
Manny, Sid and Diego start the big migration of mammals from “The Waterpark” to the far end of a wide valley where a fallen sequoia tree serves as an escape for the fleeing population. Along the way, the trio meets another mammoth, Ellie, and her two mischievous possum “brothers”, Crash and Eddie, who decide to join in the adventures.

Playing the Game
Scrat Rush
After beginning a new location on the world hub, players first control Scrat in a high-speed, side-scrolling mini-game: Scrat Rush. The goal is to get Scrat to the end of the level while collecting as many acorns as possible. An indicator in the HUD keeps track of how many acorns Scrat has. A bonus multiplier counts the amount of acorns Scrat has at the end of the level. The more acorns the player has, the higher the bonus.
Puzzle/Adventure Levels
After successfully completing a Scrat Rush level, players enter one of several Puzzle/Adventure levels. Manny, Sid, and Diego work together to get to the goal of the level. Each character has a separate path and puzzle elements, which are navigated using each of the character's unique abilities.
If you lose your way, find the footprint markers to get back on track. Sid's footprints are red, Manny's are blue, and Diego's are green. Players can switch the current character at any time by pressing the L Button or R Button. The current character is represented by a larger portrait in the HUD, while the character that will be accessed by the next L Button or R Button press is shown to either side.
