DERP
Seriously, that's what this video is full of. Allow me to explain.
You start out in the city in early evening, where fences line the place to keep you from 3D jumping at times and forcing you to go through stuff you don't want (such as Putties throwing bombs from windows) if you don't know the layout. Even worse, some of the fences are lined with indestructible robots that shoot out an electric pulse around it that damages you if you're too close. There are also cement poles that force you to 3D jump at certain points of the stage as well.
There are laser gun panels in the floor, and a bunch of robots that can attack from the background to the foreground and vice versa. Ivan Ooze definitely isn't playing around this time, but there's something to be said when the Power Rangers are destroying them all with their bare hands.
You'll soon see tank treads on the ground, which means you'll have to fight...a tank.
This is where the "derp" begins. Seriously, you're probably not even morphed when you reach this point, and you're fighting a tank with your bare fists? Now that's hardcore! I can only imagine what Bandai was thinking and/or smoking when they came up with this idea:
"Yeah, we're gonna base the Genesis games completely on the show, but we're gonna take the Super Nintendo games and base them in an alternate universe where the Rangers have cajones the size of grapefruit! It'll be the greatest TV-to-game transitions ever! We know it!"
I've also noticed that the front of the tank has "UN" on it...what, are they stealing from the United Nations now? Geez, Ivan Ooze must be pretty brave, but given what he did in the movie, I wouldn't put it past him! But I'm getting off track here...
Anyway, the tank can shoot lasers at you and even run you over. As long as you keep your distance and run away when it pauses briefly (signified by the dirt being at the back of the tires as it revs up for about a second) before it tries to total you like a used car, you'll be okay.
After this, you'll find a full health power-up before you take on a ninja. Finally, on the fifth stage, we see a Ninja? It's bad enough we don't get the Ninjetti/Ninja Ranger forms in this game, but now we get a ninja and we have to fight it off? Wow, misleading title sure is misleading.
He's basically hit and run from here - you punch him, he does ninja vanish, he reappears, you hit him again, repeat until he explodes. If you take too long, he'll try to attack you with shurikens. He's pretty easy, though. After that, it's two more robots before you enter a building.
This is where the difficulty ramps up. If some of the panels on the floor are lit up and you're standing on one of those panels, you take damage. They alternate with a pretty simple pattern that doesn't take long to get used to, though. There are Frankenstein-like monsters in lab coats that tap two wires together to create a electric spark the same size as they are for an attack. Move back, then hit. Putties will still pop out of holes in the wall, so there's plenty of enemies to deal with in the second half of this stage. Your 3D jump will be more important than ever as you dodge enemies and lit-up panels.
You'll find a wall is a turret moving alongside it. You'll have to dodge the flashing, lit-up panels as you strike this thing down and tear the wall apart. After that is a vertical chasm with wall-mounted lasers that start shooting as soon as they appear on the screen. As long as you don't rush through this, you won't get hit too many times and you'll do just fine. After that, it's conveyor belt action time again with more robots shooting lasers at you, more Putties...and now ceiling mounted laser beams [b]and[/b] crushers! Now we're having an Admiral Ackbar moment!
Anyway, you punch out another wall only to find the same crushers on the floor! And after you destroy the next three walls...there's a 1-Up followed by another vertical chasm with laser cannons and robots hanging off of chains trying to shoot you. Ivan Ooze obviously doesn't want you to get very far in this facility, doesn't he?
You'll have to jump on platforms to get out of some of these death zones, and there are now laser cannons raining death on top of you! After all this, you finally make your way outside.
Well, there are robots everywhere in the third part of this stage. As you climb to the top of what looks like an unfinished building, there are robots lining platforms, robots in the air, robots on the foundation...robots now outnumber putties. Wonderful. Thankfully, there are health power-ups and morphing power bolts littered throughout the stage in containers you have to break. Be sure to take advantage of what's around so you can survive.
When you're almost at the top, there's another ninja who basically fights the same way as before, except he tries to run towards you if you're too far away before he throws the shuriken. When you kill him, a platform appears. Get on top of it, then kill the two Putties and the robot before you make your way to the top and face Silver Horns. For some reason, his name is "Silver Horn" in the game. Oh, well...
Anyway, he runs towards you in an attempt to hit you, with electricity coming out of his horns. He'll also shoot a spiral of ball lightning projectiles at you, which can be dodged perfectly with a backflip. Be sure to backflip towards him if he corners you, so you can move straight through him without taking damage.
When his health bar is blue and it's about to start going down, he'll send out two red spheres to hover above him. He'll run towards you in an attempt to activate them and cause lasers to rain down from above with these orbs, so use your backflip to get away from him. When you hit him enough times, lightning will emanate from his horns. He'll use that to either attack you through the red orbs or shoot the spiral of ball lightning again. Backflip, backflip, backflip!
When he's finally down, he'll step forward once before he explodes. Don't stop just yet, Power Rangers! You're now close enough to Ivan Ooze you can smell him!
