Power Rangers Megaforce is a side-scrolling video game for the Nintendo 3DS . It was released on November 30, 2013 and officially released cards can be utilized within the game.
Story[]
Starting up the game for the first time leads to Gosei greeting you in the dimension ????? and telling you that the Power Cards are scattered by the enemy in the last battle. Searching for them is quite difficult, but the communicator is connected to the world as the player is holding it.
It cuts to the Warstar Ship, where Vrak declares the aforementioned thing Gosei stated. Metal Alice then states that they both need more time. Then she puts Yuffo on the city - he would later be found in the first level.
But before that, Gosei in the Command Center states that you need his help. You will morph into either Troy, Gia, Noah, Emma, or Jake. Use the Circle Pad to navigate the Ranger Select screen, then press A to select the ranger you want to morph to.
You then need to line your face up with the guide. Do so by moving your 3DS camera to your face as if you are taking a selfie. Then, press A to capture. If you need a better one, you can press B to retake the photo. Otherwise, press A again and you'll morph into that Ranger.
Stage 1 Episode 1[]
In stage 1 of episode 1, Metal Alice states that she needs energy by sending out Yuffo who agrees. It then cuts to the Command Center where Gosei confronts the Megaforce rangers to move out. Troy then sees Yuffo already there. Emma then sees it, confronting Gia who tells Troy and the others to go after it.
At the start of the level, the mechanics pop up as you press the A button. When complete, use the Cirle Pad to move around the map. The rest of the controls, like jumping with B or changing rangers with the L and R buttons will be displayed as well.
The next set is Attacking - the easiest way to do so is by pressing A. Press it repeatedly to do attack combos. Ranged combat is with the Mega Blaster - press Y to fire it and hit enemies from a distance.
You'll then see that Troy is surrounded by 20 enemies. Defeat them all to continue.
Next you need to find the Gosei Medals. There are 25 you need to collect. Break boxes as Emma states, and they will be inside. Gold versions are worth 5 medals.
Now, move to the Fire Card. Noah will tell you that it's a Power Card that can melt ice walls. Tap the Buckle icon to bring up the Power Cards you can use. Tap it, and your Ranger will use it.
Catch is, if you use them all up, Noah or Troy will tell you that you can't use cards now, upon taking knockback.
Getting close will get Emma to tell you that you need that card to melt the wall. Jake will then say "Attack with fire cards!" That's when you'll need to use that Card to do so.
Moving close to Yuffo, Troy tells him that he and the other Rangers are gonna take him out - Yuffo states, "Are you? I don't think so... because you'll be fighting THEM!" THEM are what appear to be Loogies. Gia looks terrified about them. Then Noah tells her not to be stressed. She will then appear to help Troy with the enemies in the way. If you kill lots of Loogies, the other Rangers will heat up. That means, they will help you out in battle if you kill enough of them.
Now it's Noah's turn to defeat them. Like before, there are 20 Loogies. Defeat them all to finish the level!
After a level, you will select a Ranger that helped you the most in the level. Press A to confirm it.
Then it will tell you a positive statement. Press either the blue or green speech bubbles, one of which will get yellow, orange, and white stars from the bottom of the main 3DS screen. The ranger will then thank you for that.
Stage 2 Episode 1[]
In the Warehouse, Yuffo told Vrak that the Rangers are stubborn. He then gets told to capture some more humans.
Then, at the Command Center, Troy gets confused about the cards he has to find. Noah states that flew all over the place. Emma then wonders where Robo Knight is. Gosei said he is looking around on his own. Gia, in the warehouse, calls Emma. She then tells her that Yuffo is kidnapping more people - as the player heard. Then we see Jake, who states they are ahead. Gia then states they need to hurry.
When the level starts, you need to get the next Power Card, which means you need to jump the structures to get to it.
After that, Emma is surrounded by 10 enemies. Defeat them all to continue.
Now you need the next Power Card, which is where you'll need to flip the switch to reveal the box. Break it and you'll find it.
Now it's Gia's turn to defeat the 20 enemies. Defeat them all to continue.
After that, Yuffo appears. Keep attacking him until he runs out of health, which is where he jumps off the screen. And you've finished the level!
Stage 3 Episode 1[]
In the Jungle, Vrak tells Metal Alice that the humans she brought are solid raw material. Metal Alice appreciates this, telling Vrak they're close to their goal.
In the Command Center, Gosei has located the captives, and the Rangers need to get to their rescue.
When the level starts, you'll notice the muck in the jungle. Touching it will make you take damage.
First, you need to find the 10 Gosei Medals scattered around the map. Some are in the muck, which Emma states is hard to walk in.
Now you need to get the next Power Card. It is located on the top of the structure.
The next Power Card is located on the end of the muck parkour. Don't fall in!
After that, Jake has been surrounded by 20 enemies. Defeat them all to continue.
Troy is then surrounded by the same amount. If you defeat them all, the level is finished.
After the level, Vrak is surprised that the Rangers made it through the jungle. Troy is alerted, asking him that it was his doing. Jake then tells him what he was planning. Metal Alice has then harvested all the captives' energy, and the two escape in a whoosh.
Stage 4 Episode 1[]
Vrak tells Yuffo "Didn't I order you to stall them?" in which that get him to be forgived. He then gets told that there are no more mistakes. Yuffo agrees with this. It is his last chance.
In the Command Center, Gosei tells the Rangers that Yuffo is on a rampage in the city. Jake finds him, and he screams in pain. Gia then asks if he is planning to kidnap more people. Then Noah does the Rangers' catchphrase "IT'S MORPHIN' TIME."
Noah, right off the bat, is surrounded by 20 enemies in the start of the level. Defeat them all to continue.
Now you need to get the 15 Gosei Medals in the boxes. Some are in the lift. Emma can jump high enough to reach it.
Next, you need to survive for a minute. This may be a bit time-consuming, considering every level has a 10 minute time limit.
The next Power Card is located on the top of the metal boxes. That time every Ranger can jump on top of them.
Then Jake has to defeat the 20 enemies in the way, then the level is finished.
Stage 5 Episode 1[]
This is Yuffo's boss fight, as Gosei states he's in the Warehouse. He then states that damaged oddities won't sell high, and he is cut off in the middle by Noah, who tells him who an oddity is. Emma soon declares that she's getting revenge on Yuffo for getting away with the people.
First, Gia has to defeat the 20 enemies that are in the way at the start.
Now, get the 15 Gosei medals in the wood boxes. Now move forward even more to find Yuffo.
This is where Yuffo is. Try to take him out with your attacks and Mega Blaster. If you do so, the level is done.
After the level, Troy tells the Rangers to finish him off. They arm their Mega Blasters and shoot Yuffo, killing him. Vrak then frees the Zombats to gigantify Yuffo. He is now known as a Mega Monster.
Stage 6 Episode 1[]
This is the first Megazord battle. The Rangers use the cards to create the Gosei Great Megazord. The controls, like blocking with X, attacking with A, ranged with Y, and dashing with B, will be shown.
Counter attacks by pressing X right when the attack connects. Strafe behind with B when they are guarding to hit them in the back. The enemy will stagger if you hit it enough times, and you need to tap the center of the Megaforce icon rapidly to do a finishing move. Be quick, though, as it will recover after a few seconds.
Now it's an epic showdown between Yuffo and the Rangers, with a 5 minute time limit. Use what you've learned to defeat Yuffo and complete the level.
After that, Vrak tells Metal Alice to start the next operation, who agrees.
Stage 1 Episode 2[]
Noah states there's a Power Card somewhere in the City, but he doesn't see it. Neither does Emma, as she gets confused. Troy tells her to calm down and look carefully for it. This is where No Joke appears, as Gosei calls Jake that he has appeared. Troy sees him, and he states that he has sucked up all the laughs there. Emma gets terrified about the laughing people sucked in the pod. They are now energy in it. Noah then gets the other Rangers to go after him.
This level introduces a new objective - you need to defeat the enemies to get the 5 Gosei Medals. Enemies spawn infinitely here, so keep killing them to get the medals you need.
Troy is then surrounded by 20 enemies. Defeat them all to continue.
Now you need to survive for a minute. Enemies spawn infinitely here, so keep killing them until the timer on the top left gets to 0.
No Joke appears soon after, so defeat him by hitting him repeatedly with your attacks and Mega Blaster. The level is finished upon this.
After the level, No Joke states that he'll play with them a bit longer. Emma asks him about what he's doing. He is doing the joke he has made up. It is "Why is 6 afraid of 7? Because 7, 8, 9!" But none didn't find that funny. Jake stated that no one would fall for that, but Noah did, as he said that "seven ATE nine". No Joke runs away.
Stage 2 Episode 2[]
In the Jungle, Creepox sees that No Joke still hates human laughter. Bluefur then states he should suck up all the humans and get them more energy. But No Joke said that someone "crashed the party". They are the Rangers, which are a serious nuisance. Bluefur wonders where Noah was "because he's the Ranger that fell for the JOKE, that's for sure."
Then, in the Command Center, Gia couldn't believe Noah fell for the joke. Emma said that he was cute. Jake likes jokes as well. Troy then has to get the other Rangers and save all the people in the pod. Gosei stated that he got them.
Back in the Jungle, Gia calls No Joke a "stooge", which gets him distressed. Troy gets the Rangers to gang up on him.
When the level begins, Emma is surrounded by 20 enemies. If you defeat them all, the level will continue.
Then there is an explosive box at the start of the bridge. As Jake states, if that blows, they all go too.
Now you need to get the next Power Card, which is in the box at the end of the parkour.
Gia is then surrounded by 20 enemies. Defeat them to continue.
The next objective is to find the switch. It is located on the top of the structure.
Now you need to survive for a minute. Defeat enemies until the time runs out.
Bluefur is located at the bottom of the area. No Joke wants to fight the player, but Bluefur has no choice but to fight it. No Joke will instead suck up more humans instead.
So all you need to do is hit Bluefur repeatedly with your attacks and Mega Blaster until he runs out of health.
At the end, Bluefur states the Rangers are pretty good. And he escapes with the Rangers going after him.
Stage 3 Episode 2[]
In the Warehouse, Vrak said that the energy is gathering up even more. Metal Alice states the Rangers haven't uncovered their operation. Vrak then states that Creepox and Bluefur will be kept busy.
Then in the Command Center, Gosei has found the captives' location. It is in the Warehouse. Noah, in there, states that the device that trapped them should be in here. Gia said that it could be vacuuming up people. Jake states that it's a terrible plan.
When the level begins, you need to flip the switch that opens the door.
You'll note that this introduces traps, which inflict significant knockback.
Flip the next switch that can activate the lift. Then, go up it and flip the switch next to the explosive barrel.
When going forward, there's an ice wall. Attack with Fire Cards to melt it.
Now you need to find the ten Gosei Medals around the map. They are mostly in the boxes.
You will find Vrak's location here. He has to stop meeting like this. Troy tells him that it's his operation. Emma then tells about what he's plotting. Metal Alice has harvested the energy, and they escape by summoning Loogies.
Jake is surrounded by ten of them. Defeat them all to continue.
After that, Troy has to defeat the 10 enemies and the level is done.
At the end, Gia is glad the captives were only unconscious. Emma states that she and the other Rangers all worked hard.
