What is puzzling, however, is the sudden Megazord ping-pong and hot-potato bonus stages between stages, where failure constitutes an automatic Game Over, and trivia quizzes that are, while not impeding progress, are impossible without knowledge of the Japanese language. Thankfully, the later stages are not as difficult, since the other Rangers' weapons are better. Each Ranger starts off with a gun, but later gets their signature weapon, leading to frustration in the first level when the Yellow Ranger's gun is replaced with short-ranged daggers that are swung randomly. Unlike Jetman, level progression was linear and players were assigned a different Ranger for each level. Next, also on the Famicom, is Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger, the series that would be adapted into the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. The Nerd describes the game as being mediocre, but otherwise inoffensive: aside from the pause button being Select while Start activates a special attack, and the giant robot boss battles being mildly frustrating, it was servicable. It is an action platformer that, like the NES Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle game, gave players a choice of one of five Rangers with their own abilities, and like Mega Man, the option to choose which stage they wish to play. He starts with a Super Sentai video game, Choujin Sentai Jetman for the Famicom. As with any pop cultural phenomenon, it had a slew of video game adaptations, too many for the Nerd to be able to review in one episode, so he would review a small selection, at least one of which he is certain will piss him off. Featured Games: Choujin Sentai Jetman (Famicom), Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger (Famicom), Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (SNES, GB, Genesis, Sega CD), Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers the Movie (SNES, GB), Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue (N64)ĭescribed as a mix of Godzilla, Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Voltron, and Saved by the Bell, the Nerd enthusiastically hypes up Power Rangers, a series of action shows using stock footage from the Japanese Super Sentai series that were a pop cultural phenomenon during the 1990s.
