Each character has an individual ability. If there is only 1 player, he can switch between the 3 characters and control one of them at a time, whilst the others are controlled by a computer. Each human player can take control of 1 character while playing multiplayer. Like in Sonic Heroes, players take control of a team consisting of 3 characters. The entire gameplay focuses mainly on teamwork and co-operation but retains the classic objective of the game.

Unlike its prequel, Sonic Heroes 2 features gameplay very similar to that of Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One, retaining some of its previous mechanics.
