Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for the Sega Mega Drive is a versus fighting game based on the TV series of the same name.
Contents
Story
The evil intergalactic sorceress Rita Repulsa is plotting, from her castle on the moon, to take over Earth by letting her gang of monsters loose on the planet. She has also brainwashed the teenager Tommy Oliver into fighting for her side as the Green Ranger.
Five teenagers named Jason Lee Scott, Kimberly Hart, Zack Taylor, Trini Kwan, and Billy Cranston have been chosen by the galactic wizard Zordon to fight her. They possess mystical Power Coins that allow them to transform into the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and special vehicles called Dinozords that can combine into the giant robot known as the Megazord.
Gameplay
The game is a one-on-one competitive fighting game starring characters from the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers television series. The objective is for both fighters to battle each other until one drains the vitality of the other. There are two different game modes: a Scenario Mode where one player competes against a series of CPU-controlled opponents, and a Battle Mode where two players can fight each other.
In the Scenario Mode, matches consist of two parts: the player first fights against a regular-sized monster as one of the Rangers, then after the defeating the monster, they battle a giant version of it in the Megazord. Atypically for a fighting game, the player can select a different character after each match. Initially, only the five original Rangers and the Megazord are available, but once the Green Ranger is defeated, he and the Dragonzord are unlocked. The Power Rangers face the following adversaries (in order of their appearance): Minotaur, Evil Green Ranger (with the Dragonzord), Madame Woe, Goldar, and Cyclopsis (in a two-part, Zord-only battle).
In Battle Mode, two players can choose between the six rangers, the three Zord mechas, and the three monsters in a best two out of three match. The Megazord, the Dragonzord, and Cyclopsis cannot be matched against any of the six rangers and vice versa, and players cannot both choose the same character. Players can choose the stage and optionally change their power levels (between eight different levels) to handicap more skilled players.
Characters move with and , crouch with , and jump with . Stages scroll endlessly in either direction. The game utilizes a simple two-button control scheme, for light attacks and for strong attacks. Characters can dash forward with (or if facing left) or backflip away with (or if facing left). Guarding is performed by holding away from the opponent. Projectile attacks can be deflected by pressing the D-Pad twice in the direction of the opponent and pressing +. There are no throws. Each character has a selection of unique special moves performed with particular button combinations.
As characters suffer damage and lose vitality, their Power Meter increases. The meter drains again if the character goes a period without taking damage. If the meter fills, it starts to flash, which indicates that the power of the character's special attacks are increased. The effect is temporarily, and the meter stops flashing and drains after some time passes.
In the options, the player can set the difficulty of computer opponents (between eight different levels) and change the timer (from 30, 45, 60, or the default 99 seconds) or disable it entirely.
Characters
Move lists assume the player is facing right. If facing left, and should be reversed. Special moves can be performed with either attack button, or .
Heroes
The Red, Black, Blue, Pink, and Yellow Rangers (with the Megazord) can be played in the single-player mode, with the Green Ranger (with the Dragonzord) becoming available after defeating him.

The villains appear as adversaries in the single-player mode and can also be selected to play in the two-player mode.

Stages
In the single-player mode, the rounds played as the Power Rangers are played in the Rangers Stage, while rounds played in a Zord take place in the opponent's stage.
In two-player games, players can choose the stage for the match. However, the Rangers Stage is always used when either player is controlling a Power Ranger. The Rangers Stage cannot be chosen if either player is controlling a Zord (the Megazord, the Dragonzord, or the Cyclopsis).
