Game Boy Color version

Game Boy Advance version

The Game Boy Advance version is a beat 'em up side-scroller. This version follows the show more closely. The player must travel through various stages to stop the evil Ransik. All five Time Force Rangers are playable in the game. The Quantum Ranger is playable when the player earns the Quantum Morpher power-up, allowing the Ranger the player is controlling to use the powers of the Quantum Ranger. The game also features Zord battles, however, only the Time Force Megazord in mode red is playable in these battles. This game is similar to the 2003 Power Rangers: Ninja Storm video game for GBA.

PlayStation version

The PlayStation version, developed by Climax Studios is a 3D action game that featured single and 2 player battles, the latter having only the Megazords and the main bosses. The player can find a Time Artifact hidden in each level, and a health bar bonus is awarded if the level is completed within the time limit. All seven artifacts must be collected to unlock the Quantum Ranger.
