Power Rangers - Lightspeed Rescue (USA, Europe) (GBC)

In Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue for the Game Boy Color, players take on the role of the Lightspeed Rescue Power Rangers to defend Mariner Bay from monstrous forces led by Queen Bansheera and her minions.

The game is a side-scrolling action title. In each stage, you control one of the five Lightspeed Rangers: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Pink Ranger. Each Ranger possesses unique skills and weapons, suitable for different combat situations. Players will navigate through levels, confronting hordes of smaller monsters and collecting helpful items like energy or score points.

The combat system is straightforward yet effective, involving basic attacks, jumping, and using special weapons. You can execute small combos to inflict greater damage on enemies. After defeating a certain number of foes or reaching a specific point in the stage, you will face a powerful boss. Boss battles often require players to understand their attack patterns and discover their weaknesses to defeat them.
