Scavenger Hunt is the thirty-fifth episode of the second season of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and the ninety-fifth episode of the series overall.
Synopsis[]
The teens go on a scavenger hunt. But Lord Zedd has other ideas to ruin their game once and for all. He creates the Cannontop monster with the intent to blast the Rangers into a dimension from which they can never return!
Plot[]
Tommy, Kimberly and Adam are taking part in a scavenger hunt. Kimberly realizes one of the clues refers to a red car and Tommy photographs her and Adam standing in front of it. They have six clues left, with Billy, Rocky, and Aisha having the other half. Lord Zedd observes this and vows to send the Rangers on a scavenger hunt through dimensions.
At the Juice Bar, Billy, Rocky and Aisha are debating the clues when Bulk and Skull arrive dressed in a cod-Romany style and introduce them to Gypsy Abalonia, who they claim will lead them to the Power Rangers. However, her gyrating mostly just serves to keep them busy.
Squatt and Baboo listen at the door as Zedd instructs Goldar to steal one of the scavenger hunt items to turn into a monster. At Billy's house, he tells Aisha and Rocky that one of the clues is a cannon and takes a toy cannon his cousin left behind. Zedd decides this will be the monster and has Goldar send the Putties to steal it. Billy, Rocky, and Aisha fight the Putties but some of them escape with the bag containing the scavenger hunt items.
Tommy, Kimberly and Adam are at the high school where Billy contacts them and they decide to wait to hear from Zordon. Gypsy Abalonia appears declaring that the Power Rangers are near, but Bulk and Skull collapsing puts an end to the concern.
Goldar confirms he has left the toy cannon in the park and Zedd uses it to form Cannontop, who has the power to blast the Rangers into the lost dimension. Zordon and Alpha detect this and contact first Billy and then Tommy. Both groups morph and tackle Cannontop who fires on them and Rocky retaliates by having the Rangers form the Power Blaster and shoot Cannontop. Zedd causes Cannontop to grow and the Rangers summon the Thunderzords. The Red Dragon Thunderzord rides on the White Tigerzord to charge. Zordon and Alpha note the lost dimension is opening. Tommy first summons Tor the Shuttlezord and then forms the Mega Tigerzord, who destroys Cannontop with a Firebird blast. Zedd is left to rant at his minions for the failure and declare the Power Rangers won't be so lucky next time.
The six teens' head to the Juice Bar with one item left to collect; Ernie warns them there is a rumor that Central High are on the way there with all the items and realizes their missing item is a photo of the Power Rangers. Gypsy Abalonia appears and declares the Rangers are in front of them, but upon seeing the picture, Bulk and Skull assume she meant that and tell her she's fired. The teens present the items to the judges and Angel Grove is declared the winner.

- When Adam reacts to giant Cannontop, there is nothing but open sky behind him, but the shot after where Aisha states that they would destroy him has a massive tree behind Cannontop.
