Throwback Thursday: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie Sega Genesis

You know what day it is time for another Throwback Thursday. With the release of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Mega Battle recently released I thought that I talk about a similar Power Rangers game that touched my heart and that’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie for Sega Genesis.

There is also a Super-NES version of the game which played differently but we're going to focus on the Sega version of the game. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie came out for the Sega Genesis on September 1995 made by Bandai.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie is a 2 player beat em up game that focus on parts of The Film that came out on June 30 1995 with the Power Rangers saving Angel Grove from the evil Ivan Ooze. A few stages focus on the movie while the other stages focused on past events focused from the TV episodes of Power Rangers. Players can choose between the six Power Rangers each with their own special move. On the stages focusing on the Film players choose between Tommy (White Ranger), Adam (Black Ranger), Kimberly (Pink Ranger), Billy (Blue Ranger), Aisha (Yellow Ranger) and Rocky (Red Ranger). Players also have past Rangers Zach (Black Ranger), Jason (Red Ranger) and Trini (Yellow Ranger) but only play as these Rangers on past reflection stages.

Now the past stages are pretty cool. Players get to fight the Putty Patrols and familiar monsters such as the three S. Sentinels; Ear, Neck and Ring, Goldar and Lord Zedd.

Now whats a Power Rangers game without the MegaZords. MegaZord Battles are fun. Players can choose between the Ninja Megazord or Falconzord who is O.P.!!! Past Stages players can choose between the Thunder Megazord or White TigerZord.

My only grips with the game is that I believe it’s too short and skips major scenes from the movie for example the game doesn’t allow players play on Pheados. It would be cool to have the players play as the ninja rangers in the Neola Jungle and fight the Skeleton Creatures and Stone Gargoyles. Now I did say the past stages were cool but I believe they were unnecessary because they didn’t follow the movie. I think Bandai only added these stages to add more to the game because there are only three stages that focus on the film. You can pretty much beat this game in under an hour.

In the end Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie is a fun game. The soundtrack is awesome. It follows the music from the TV series. I would only recommend this game to Power Rangers fans.
