Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is a fighting video game developed by SIMS and published by Sega and is based on the TV series of the same name. The game was released on the Game Gear in 1994 in North America and Europe.
Gameplay[]
This version is a fighting game that is similar, but not identical to the Genesis version. In this version, the player has three basic attacks (one which is done by pressing the two action buttons simultaneously), a throw, and three special moves per character. The game consists of three game modes: a single-player story game which features a series of plot-based battles against the computer, a single-player VS. game, and a 2-player Link game in which the player against another player using the link cable.
The Story Game consists of seven stages, each consisting of two segments. In the first segment, the player controls a member of the Power Rangers as they fight against a series of Putty Patrollers sent in by Rita, as well as occasional encounters with Goldar, before confronting the stage boss at the end. In the second segment, the player will control one of the Zords and fight a giant version of the stage boss. Only Stage 4 deviates from this format by having the Zord segment occur before the Ranger segment. Initially only the five original Power Rangers are available at the start, along with the Megazord. After defeating the Green Ranger in Stage 4, he will reform and join the other rangers as a playable character, bringing with him the Dragonzord, which can be used during the giant monster segments in place of the Megazord, or alternatively the Dragonzord Fighting Mode.
The Story Game features the following stages and monsters:
- Stage 1: King Sphinx
- Stage 2: Nasty Knight
- Stage 3: Evil Green Ranger
- Stage 4: Dragonzord
- Stage 5: Shellshock
- Stage 6: Polluticorn
- Stage 7: Goldar and Cyclopsis
In the Vs. Game and Link Game, the player can choose to play as any of the game's sixteen characters fight against an opponent in a round-based match. The six Power Rangers and the Putties cannot be matched against the three Zords and Cyclopsis, while the Dragonzord Fighting Mode cannot be matched against the regular Dragonzord nor against the Megazord. The same character cannot be used by both players. After completing Story Mode, Dream Mode is unlocked as a Vs. option which allows any character or Zord to battle any other character or Zord, including character vs. same character, human-sized character vs. Zord, and Dragonzord Fighting Mode vs. Megazord or Dragonzord.

Notes[]
- It is not required to actually defeat the Evil Green Ranger in Stage 3. While he can be defeated by depleting his health meter, he can also be defeated by surviving the fight for a set amount of time, after which he will retreat.
- The Evil Green Ranger used by the CPU can use the Sword of Darkness for a ranged attack, which the playable Green Ranger cannot perform.
- Due to the lack of a battery backup save feature, the game's Dream Mode for the Vs. mode cannot be saved, and must be re-unlocked every time the game is turned off.
- This is the only Power Rangers video game that features the Dragonzord Battle Mode as a fully playable character, with its only other appearance being a brief attack for the Dragonzord in the Sega Genesis game. It is also referred to as the Dragonzord Fighting Mode, one of many alternate names for the combination used in the show.
- Unlike the Sega Genesis game, after unlocking the Green Ranger and the Dragonzord, any Zord combination is selectable regardless of which Ranger has been selected.
- This is the only game to feature Cyclopsis that does not feature his second horned form in any capacity.
- The game would be recycled for the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie Game Gear adaptation, replacing the Green Ranger with the White Ranger as well as the entire Zord and Monster selection, but otherwise being an identical game.
