00:00Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're counting down our picks for the absolute best video
00:13games to star the mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
00:24Number 10 Power Rangers Dino Thunder
00:33The Rangers are no stranger to side-scrolling beat-em-ups, but this charming handheld made
00:37a compelling case to save the tired routine from meteoric extinction.
00:41In a major leap of evolution, the Dino Rangers weren't just mashing buttons through waves
00:45of enemies anymore.
00:46There was light puzzle solving, platform sections, and, of course, the classic Zord fights to
00:51help break up the monotony.
00:59These worthwhile additions and refined gameplay also came with a ton more content, like the
01:04hidden collectibles that incentivized exploration over barreling through the quickest path.
01:08It's safe to say these dinos brought the thunder in more ways than one.
01:18Number 9 Power Rangers Time Force
01:20It's surprising it took as long as it did to get a true 3D brawler in the series, but
01:31this was well worth the wait.
01:33This title offers fun and intuitive combat, a worthwhile single-player experience, and
01:37best of all, voice acting from the original live-action cast.
01:49This is one of the earliest Ranger titles to genuinely feel like an extension of its
01:53source material, instead of just the newest season's name slapped on another generic
01:56fighter.
01:57Its gameplay is charming and hilarious, with just the right amount of jank, especially
02:01in multiplayer, to keep fans coming back until the end of time.
02:11Number 8 Power Rangers SPD
02:22In their most daunting missions yet, Space Control Delta was tasked with resuscitating
02:26a gaming franchise that had grown incredibly stale with lackluster beat-em-ups.
02:31As the final Ranger title on GBA, this standout side-scroller built on Dino Thunder's foundation
02:36drew amazing results.
02:37The various playable Rangers had their own unique moves and abilities that genuinely
02:41encouraged experimentation for the first time.
02:51Alongside the improved combat, the title was densely packed with fun content, boasting
02:55hidden paths, classic Zord brawls, a Space Invaders-like mini-game, and even racing segments.
03:00It's easy to sink hours into its litany of engaging modes, and single-handedly brought
03:05a pulse back to the series' gaming prospects.
03:12Number 7 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie
03:23Following the solid groundwork laid by its predecessor, this movie tie-in sequel improved
03:27the formula in basically every way, with more characters, more levels, and more fun.
03:32Notably, this is one of the only games that lets you duke it out as the un-morphed Rangers.
03:43Earning the Morpher by defeating enemies makes donning the costumes more rewarding than ever,
03:47especially since it pays off with a stylish in-engine morphing sequence.
03:51However, the real shining Zord here is the co-op, which fills the screen with all the
03:55goofy chaos befitting a Ranger title.
03:58Whether it's decimating enemies with friends, or just mashing through story mode, you can't
04:01go wrong picking up the Morpher for this one.
04:09Number 6 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
04:19Not to be confused with the Sega Genesis title that has the same name, though there's plenty
04:23of fun to be had there, too.
04:24The Game Gear version is the definitive edition of the original run of Ranger titles, upgrading
04:28what came before with even more spandexed action.
04:32It took the series' previous one-versus-one fighting game mechanics and added it to a
04:35more accessible story mode with tons of levels and enemies.
04:45Don't worry, you can still unlock everyone's favorite Green Ranger as a playable character,
04:49too.
04:50By taking what made the previous Mighty Morphin titles great, but simply adding more, this
04:54is by far the most complete package fans of the original series can get.
05:03Number 5 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Mega Battle
05:14This spiritual successor to the classic side-scrollers of Ranger history did more than just throw
05:18a fresh coat of paint on.
05:20Right off the bat, the stylish character designs and fluid animations make even the idle poses
05:25interesting to look at.
05:26The combat itself is simple but satisfying, especially paired with several quality-of-life
05:31features like a mid-match progression system.
05:33But what really morphs this title to Megazord height is its four-player co-op.
05:44With the ability to indulge in the colorful, mashy carnage with more friends than ever
05:47before, the classic beat-em-up formula has never been so fun.
05:57Number 4 Power Rangers Legacy Wars
06:07When it comes to bang for your buck, it's hard to top a game that's free to download on most
06:11any smartphone.
06:12The novel card-based gameplay rewards aggressive strategy and clever resource management and
06:16is always a blast thanks to the staggering 100-plus character roster, each with their
06:21own unique attributes.
06:30New skins and characters are constantly dropping, and sometimes it's not even the Rangers.
06:35Ever wanted to see Ryu or Chun-Li from Street Fighter kick some Ranger tail?
06:39Well, this game has got you covered.
06:41With generous gacha elements and continuous updates, there's always a good reason to revisit
06:45the morphing grid.
06:53Number 3 Power Rangers Super Legends
07:04Henry and Ranger games have never quite fit into the perfect Megazord, but this time around
07:09there was a noticeable effort at justifying the universe-hopping shenanigans with a fully
07:13structured narrative.
07:14The comic-inspired cutscenes and excellent voice acting give the plot some genuine weight
07:18reminiscent of the most iconic crossovers from the main series.
07:28The gameplay is breezy and easy to understand, but stands above its predecessor thanks to
07:33a fully fleshed-out co-op mode and a respectable roster of 20 Rangers from several seasons.
07:38As a celebration of the franchise's 15th anniversary, this is the first title that captures the
07:43spirit of not just the newest Rangers on the block, but the series as a whole.
07:55Number 2 Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Rita's Rewind
08:05Retro-style beat-em-ups made a welcome comeback in the modern era.
08:09Following the footsteps of the Ninja Turtles with Shredder's Revenge, the Power Rangers
08:12jumped into some side-scrolling action with Rita's Rewind.
08:23It follows the OG lineup as they set out to defeat long-time nemesis Rita Repulsa who
08:28had gone back in time to team up with her past self.
08:30It's a blast of nostalgia, reaching peak joy when played in co-op.
08:34While it isn't a very long game and the Rangers all essentially control the same, it's still
08:38a ton of fun to pummel your way through armies of bad guys.
08:41Plus, with gameplay this energetic and some Megazord shooting sections to keep things
08:46fresh, it leaves you wanting more.
09:09Number 1 Power Rangers Battle For The Grid
09:20At launch, this 3v3 fighter drew justified criticism for its paltry lack of content,
09:25but its accessibility across the most platforms of any Ranger title ever paved the way for
09:29an incredible amount of post-release support.
09:32Since its debut, the game has received a full story mode, new stages, DLC characters,
09:37and more.
09:43By now, it boasts a deep roster of characters from 10 seasons and counting, including some
09:48from the 2017 film and the fan-favorite Boom comic.
09:52Better yet, its deep mechanics, cross-play, and excellent online netcode have earned it
09:56a genuine competitive scene in the wider fighting game community.
10:00It's been the little Zord that could, and at this point, is truly a celebration of Ranger
10:04history like none other.
