Instead of it being a top down beat em' up it had four different gameplay types that play like <a data-ref-id="3015-116" href="/minigames/3015-116/">minigames</a>. One type is a top down shooter where a Power Ranger is the playable character, the A button is used to shoot forward and the B button to shoot behind. The player moves around the area collecting coins or saving hostages. The second gameplay type is a 3D <a data-ref-id="3015-299" href="/side-scrolling/3015-299/">sidescrolling</a> mode where the player controls a car. The goal is either to shoot water to put out flaming cars or run over toxic waste to clean it up. The third type is a semi <a data-ref-id="3055-21" href="/mech/3055-21/">mech</a> game where the player is inside the <a data-ref-id="3005-13831" href="/lightspeed-megazord/3005-13831/">Lightspeed Megazord</a> and must defeat the enemies on screen. The final game type is sort of a flying game. All that is done is flying around in a <a data-ref-id="3055-129" href="/airborne-hovercraft/3055-129/">hovercraft</a> and collecting <a data-ref-id="3055-31" href="/crate/3055-31/">boxes</a>. These four gameplay types repeat for 30 levels until the game is eventually completed.</p><h2><b>GameBoy Color Version</b></h2><figure data-align="left" data-img-src="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/6247/263651-powerrlrgbc_004_large.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-263651" data-size="medium" data-ratio="0.91346153846154" data-width="312" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 312px"><a class="fluid-height" style="padding-bottom:91.3%" href="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/6247/263651-powerrlrgbc_004_large.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-263651"><img alt="No Caption Provided" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" sizes="(max-width: 312px) 100vw, 312px" data-width="312" class="js-lazy-load-image" data-src="https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/original/0/6247/263651-powerrlrgbc_004_large.jpg" data-srcset="https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/original/0/6247/263651-powerrlrgbc_004_large.jpg 312w"><noscript><img alt="No Caption Provided" src="https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/original/0/6247/263651-powerrlrgbc_004_large.jpg" srcset="https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/original/0/6247/263651-powerrlrgbc_004_large.jpg 312w" sizes="(max-width: 312px) 100vw, 312px" data-width="312"></noscript></a></figure><p>The GameBoy Color version was developed by <a data-ref-id="3010-145" href="/natsume/3010-145/">Natsume</a> and published by <a data-ref-id="3010-15" href="/thq/3010-15/">THQ</a>.
