The Fire Shield or Flame Shield is a power-up first introduced in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and a variant of the standard Shield. In addition to serving as a one-shot barrier against damage and life loss, the Fire Shield negates flame-based damage, allowing characters to stroll across boiling lava and take flamethrowers to the face with a complete absence of concern.
While all variants of this shield prevent fire damage, in Sonic 3 & Knuckles the shield would be lost if the player took it underwater; and when playing as Sonic, holding a Fire Shield exchanged the Insta-shield move with a rapid horizontal fireball attack, allowing the hedgehog to barrel forwards and blast into enemies. Sonic 3D had no double-jump attack and also no water to lose the shield in. In Shadow the Hedgehog (game), the Fire Shield causes minor damage to the enemy which pierces it.
Supposedly, the Fire Shield will be making a comeback as the Red Wisps power-up in the next Sonic game, Sonic Colors.
Other variants of the basic shield include the Lightning Shield, Water Shield, and Gold Shield.
