The wise sage Zordon, who was responsible for capturing Rita, becomes aware of her release and orders his robotic assistant Alpha 5 to select five "teenagers with attitude" to defend the Earth from Rita's attacks. The five teens chosen are Jason Lee Scott, Kimberly Hart, Zack Taylor, Trini Kwan, and Billy Cranston. Zordon gives them the ability to transform into a fighting force known as the Power Rangers.

The player is instructed to press directions on the D-Pad or a button ( to punch, to block, or to kick) corresponding to the character's actions. The player's actions do not affect the outcome of the scenes, but the Power Rangers lose heath if the player fails to input the correct move at the right time. The screen shakes when this happens. Sometimes a flashing gauge appears to indicate that the player must press , , and rapidly to defend against an incoming attack.
The game ends if the Power Rangers lose all of their health, but it can be continued from the beginning of the current scene. Health is carried over to the next episode.
