Notes[]

Season 1[]

  • The expression "Morphenomenal!" was coined by Kimberly Ann Hart. "It's Morphin Time!" was first spoken by Zordon in the episode "High Five." The expression "Back To Action" was coined by Jason Lee Scott.
  • Six video games based on this show were produced on the following systems: Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Sega Game Gear, Super Nintendo Entertainment System (which had two), and Game Boy.
  • Despite the Yellow Ranger being a female within Power Rangers, in Zyuranger, the Yellow Ranger, named Boi, was male.
    • Due to this, there is a more noticeable change in the physique of the Yellow team member than the other Rangers when the show cuts to Sentai footage.
  • Amy Jo Johnson and David Yost did not do martial arts before the show, though both were gymnasts. They took self defense classes and incorporated their talents into the choreography for the fight scenes. Austin St. John (Jason), Thuy Trang (Trini), and Jason David Frank (Tommy) were all martial artists long before the show. Walter Jones (Zack) also had some training beforehand.[Citation needed]
  • The season 1 episodes that used Zyuranger footage would commonly have the Rangers protecting a child due to the fact that Bandora's plots centered around attacking children. The American plots removed the child subplot from most of the episodes, but some footage stayed where a Ranger would defend a child from the monster.
  • This season, Mighty Morphin 2, and Power Rangers Zeo were the only three seasons to have episode counts that exceeded their Sentai counterparts. This season has ten more episodes than Zyuranger.
  • During the intro sequence for this series, Jason is seen donning his ranger costume, but the clip preceding it is of Zack's Power Morpher materializing onto his belt.
  • In 2010, a revision of the first season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was shown. At one point, it was classified as the eighteenth season of Power Rangers; however, it later lost this classification and is now treated as a rerun. Nonetheless, this revision is referred to as "Special 18".
    • The reversion was not aired internationally. However, London Live, a local station in the British capital city, started airing it in July 2017.

Season 2[]

  • This is the first season to begin with six Rangers.
  • In Gosei Sentai Dairanger (which Season 2 was based on), Tommy's White Ranger counterpart, Kou of the Howling New Star, is actually a child, which is why Tommy appears shorter in his first fight as the White Ranger.
  • This is the only season where a part of the Rangers' arsenal was directly upgraded from a previous season's tools, with the five original Dinozords from season 1 being used as foundations for the Thunderzords of this season.
  • Before deciding to use the Dairanger footage, sketches were created for original Thunderzords, essentially updated Dinozords, though an updated Tigerzord was used as part of this as well.
  • Despite being adapted from Gosei Sentai Dairanger, the core Zyuranger costumes from the previous season and Zyuranger are still used rather than replacing them with the Dairanger suits, though Tommy's new White Ranger costume is from the sixth Ranger of Dairanger.
  • Due to a combination of splicing footage and lack of props, the Rangers' previously established weapons and sidearms cease to be used, the only exception being Tommy's sword Saba due to the available Dairanger footage. Although a prop of the Dragon Dagger was created for new scenes, it was never used in battle.
  • Most footage for this season was not produced for Super Sentai.
  • This is the first Power Rangers series to feature a Red Ranger who does not serve as the team leader.
  • This is the first season where the Rangers' Zords have a cockpit that differs from the Sentai version.

Season 3[]

  • The Ninja and Shogun Ultrazords are the only Zord formations in Power Rangers history that are made from American footage. No suits or props were used in making them; the Bandai toys of each Zord were used to bring them to life on the show. The American versions of the toys were used for this, which presented some problems as the American versions are often noticeably different than the Japanese versions. For example, the left arm of the Japanese Shogun Megazord toy is white, while its American counterpart was repainted pink; this frequently led to the arm suddenly switching colors when the Shogun Ultrazord was formed.
  • The order in which the Ninja Zords and Shogun Zords were acquired was reversed in Power Rangers. In the original source of those two Zord sets, Ninja Sentai Kakuranger, the Shogunzords were gained before the Ninjazords. Similarly, since there were only five Rangers in Kakuranger, the White Ninja Falconzord (called Tsubasamaru in Kakuranger) was a separate entity not belonging to any one of them. Ninjor's counterpart did not need a mecha, as he could grow to Zord-size himself.
  • This season is the first and only season to have Power Rangers wearing costumes that do not match their power source.
  • Several elements of this season openly contradict Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, rendering it out of continuity, such as Ninjetti, Ninja FalconMegazord, and even the way the Rangers received their powers.
  • Tommy no longer uses Saba in battle due to a lack of available footage, similar to the Rangers no longer using their Power Weapons in season 2.
  • In Kakuranger, Master Vile's Sentai counterpart is the main antagonist, while in MMPR, Vile is the father of Rita and Rito and the main antagonist for just seven episodes.
  • Masked Rider appeared in the season's three-part special "A Friend in Need", which later allowed him to star in his own show until his cancellation in 1996.
  • This was the first season to feature bloopers in the ending credits, which would last through Power Rangers in Space.
  • This is the only season to use an American-exclusive Zord combination.
  • This is the first Power Rangers season finale that features a cliffhanger ending.
  • This is the final season where the core Zyuranger costumes are used and the final season where Tommy's White Ranger costume from Dairanger is used.
