The Ninja Power Stars (also called Ninja Stars) are throwing stars used by the Ninja Steel Rangers to morph into Power Rangers. Additional stars were forged in the Ninja Nexus Prism in order to unlock their attacks and summon and operate their Zords. The Ninja Steel Rangers can also throw copies of their Morphing Power Stars for various kinds of attacks.[1]

List of Stars[]
These Power Stars are used by the Ninja Steel Rangers to unlock their powers and forms. They are re-formed shards of the Ninja Nexus Star.
All nine Stars dissolved with the "death" of the Ninja Nexus Prism TV STORY-Galvanax Rises, but after Madame Odius rejuvenated the Prism with her magic and then attempted to use it to reforge a portion of Super Ninja Steel into evil Power Stars, the Prism instead transformed the steel into new copies of the core six Power Stars and the Lion Fire Armor Star, along with a handful of others. TV STORY-Echoes of Evil
- Red Ninja Power Star - Allows the Red Ranger to transform, marked with the kanji for "red" (赤 Aka). In Galvanax Rises, it was broken into three pieces to keep it away from Galvanax, and was regenerated into three full copies of itself by the Ninja Nexus Prism. The reforged Stars were then used by Brody, Mick Kanic and Dane Romero in the battle that followed.
- Blue Ninja Power Star - Allows the Blue Ranger to transform, marked with the kanji for "blue" (青 Ao).

TV STORY-Gold Rush He eventually recovered the Star and escaped. TV STORY-Hack Attack

- Superstar Mode Star - Allows the Gold Ranger to power-up to his Superstar Mode. It's identical to the Gold Ninja Power Star, however in place of the kanji, it just shows many stars. It only works in conjunction with the Superstar Blade. TV STORY-Happy to Be Me
The Ninja Nexus Star, later the Ninja Nexus Super Star, is the Power Star which is the source of the six Ninja Power Stars. In Return of the Prism, it was destroyed by Dane Romero to stop Galvanax from stealing its power. It then somehow managed to get back inside of the Ninja Nexus Prism, and reformed into the six main Ninja Power Stars. Eventually, Madame Odius recreates the star out of Ninja Super Steel and does what Galvanax attempted to do; absorbing its power to become stronger. The Rangers counter that with their own Power Stars, now made of Super Steel, and Preston's magic, filling themselves with Nexus energy. After destroying Odius, the Rangers return their Stars and Nexus energy to the Prism, which in turn reforms into a new Nexus Super Star. The Prism then coats itself in Super Steel and flies into space with the Super Star safely inside. TV STORY-Reaching the Nexus

The Legendary Power Stars are a special type of Power Stars associated with the Ninja Steel Rangers' Power Ranger predecessors. They have a similar appearance to the Morphing Stars, only with the faces of the represented past Rangers (particularly Red for the Red Stars) or the core members of the represented team for the Team Stars as opposed to the Ninja Steel Rangers, making them somewhat similar to the Legendary Dino Chargers. They also sport the symbols of that team, such as the Ninja Storm Power Star's Wind Ninja Academy emblem and the Alien Ranger Power Star's ligtning bolt.
Power Stars representing Ninja Steel Red's Ninja-themed predecessors, the Red Aquitar Ranger and Red Wind Ranger, originally appeared in episode 7, of Ninninger. However, the Red Aquitar Ranger's star was instead adapted into the Ninja Clone Star and the abilities of the Red Wind Ranger's star were instead made into one of the Robo Red Zord's abilities.
A Power Star representing Space Sheriff Skyfire's counterpart, Jiraiya, appeared in Ninninger episode 34, but was ultimately never adapted.

Notes[]
- The kanji used on some of the Legendary Power Stars reflect the teams' Super Sentai counterparts rather than the Power Rangers versions. For example, the Megaforce Star uses "heaven" (天 Ten) in reference to the Goseigers being the Tensou Sentai (天装戦隊 Tensō Sentai, Heaven Equiped Squadron), while the Super Megaforce Star uses "sea, ocean" (海 Kai), the Gokaigers being the Kaizoku Sentai (海賊戦隊 Kaizoku Sentai, Pirate Squadron).
- Conversely, the Space Rangers Star and Galaxy Rangers Star use "orbit" (宙 Chū), part of the Japanese word for "space" (宇宙 Uchū), reflecting Power Rangers in Space and Power Rangers Lost Galaxy rather than the consumer electronics theme of Denji Sentai Megaranger or the nature theme of Seiju Sentai Gingaman, since these Power Rangers seasons had more emphasis on space than their Sentai counterparts. Other ones:
- Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers's "忍" (Nin-) refers to Ninja Sentai Kakuranger (忍者戦隊カクレンジャー)
- Power Rangers Zeo's "力" (Power) refers to Choriki Sentai Ohranger (超力戦隊オーレンジャー )
- Power Rangers Operation Overdrive's "轟" (Rumble) refers to GoGo Sentai Boukenger (轟轟戦隊ボウケンジャー )
- Power Rangers Jungle Fury's "拳" (Fist) refers to Juken Sentai Gekiranger (獣拳戦隊ゲキレンジャー )
- Power Rangers Dino Charge's "電" (Electro-) refers to Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger (獣電戦隊キョウリュウジャー )
- Conversely, the Space Rangers Star and Galaxy Rangers Star use "orbit" (宙 Chū), part of the Japanese word for "space" (宇宙 Uchū), reflecting Power Rangers in Space and Power Rangers Lost Galaxy rather than the consumer electronics theme of Denji Sentai Megaranger or the nature theme of Seiju Sentai Gingaman, since these Power Rangers seasons had more emphasis on space than their Sentai counterparts.
