Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie for the Sega Mega Drive is a beat-'em-up game based on the film of the same name.

Story

A giant purple egg has been unearthed at a construction site. Lord Zedd, Rita Repulsa, and their henchmen arrive at the construction site and crack open the egg, releasing Ivan Ooze, a morphological being who ruled Earth 6,000 years ago before he was lured into a hyper-lock chamber and buried deep underground by Zordon and a group of young warriors. Ivan Ooze attacks the Command Center, incapacitating Zordon and robbing the Rangers of their powers. Zordon's assistant Alpha 5 sends the Rangers to the distant planet Phaedos to obtain the Great Power and save Zordon.

Gameplay

The game is a belt-scrolling beat-'em-up in the mold of Double Dragon or Final Fight that can be played by one player or by two players simultaneously. Half of the stages are based on the movie, but there are three flashbacks in the middle of the game that are based on episodes from the television series. Players can control the six Power Rangers: the White, Red, Black, Blue, Pink, and Yellow Rangers. Many stages end with a boss fight played in a Zord, a massive robot piloted by the Rangers, against a giant opponent. In the stages based on the movie, players can choose the new Red, Black, and Yellow Rangers (Rocky, Adam, and Aisha), who play identically to their old counterparts. The Zords available for the end battles are the Ninja Megazord and Falcon Zord. In the three stages based on episodes from the television series, players can control the original Red, Black, and Yellow Rangers (Jason, Zack, and Trini). The Zords available for the end battle are the Thunder Megazord and the Tigerzord in Warrior Mode. Players can choose which character to play before every stage. The game only features two types of standard enemies: the Ooze Men in stages based on the movie and the Putty Patrol in stages based on the television series.

The Rangers move in any direction using the D-Pad. Double-tapping in any direction makes the character run. Characters jump with C. They attack with B, which chains into a combo when pressed repeatedly. Each character has a unique weapon attack performed by holding B and then releasing once the character starts to flash. The character cannot move or attack while charging this attack. Enemies and objects such as barrels can be picked up with B in close range and thrown with B again. Characters also have an all-around attack performed with A, which attacks all enemies surrounding them but consumes a portion of vitality if it connects. In the Zord fights, the Zords cannot jump but can guard with C. Dashing performs a unique move specific to each Zord.

Rangers and Zords have multiple vitality bars. Characters lose health when they are damaged by enemies or stage hazards such as meteorites. In addition, stage segments are timed, and the characters continuously lose health when time runs out. The bars are initially blue but change to yellow when depleted. The yellow bar changes to red, and the red bar to black when drained. The game ends for the player if the red bar is drained to black, but it can be continued as long as the players have credits remaining. In two-player games, credits are shared.

Power Coins

Power Coins are occasionally dropped by defeated foes. They grant bonus effects if attacked.
