How to Fix Megaforce provides examples of:

• Adaptational Species Change: The Megaforce Rangers are no longer human but are revamped to be Humanoid Aliens that came from worlds conquered by the Armada.
• Alternate Universe: Gosei explains to the Rangers that there are parallel worlds with their own Power Rangers with the world the series takes place is the main one. Most of the previous Rangers such as the Mighty Morphin we know and love live in one of these worlds.
  • Universe Alpha: Megaforce and later, Super Megaforce
  • Universe Beta: Mighty Morphin Rangers, Alien Rangers, Zeo Rangers, Turbo Rangers, In Space Rangers, Lost Galaxy Rangers, Light Speed Rescue Rangers, Time Force Rangers, Wild Force Rangers, Ninja Storm Rangers, Dino Thunder Rangers, SPD Rangers, Operation Overdrive Rangers,
  • Universe Gamma: Jungle Fury Rangers
  • Universe Delta: RPM Rangers
  • Universe Epsilon: Samurai Rangers
  • Universe Zeta: Mystic Force Rangers
• Chekhov's Gun: The Heart Amulet, given to them by the Yellow Mystic Force Ranger would play big roles later in the season and the next.
• Chekhov's Skill:
  • One of the Monster of the Week would be relevant as her abilities is utilized to brainwash Samurai Red and Titanium Knight.
  • Jake's efforts in controlling the entire half of a Megazord would grant him the right to use The Quantum Flyer.
• Downer Ending: Jake, Noah and Titanium Knight are gone and Gosei has being taken by the Armada. The only good thing is that Vrak leaves. However even with that, Troy, Emma and Gia have no weapons nor powers.
• Foreshadowing:
  • Billy's warning about the Machine Empire will come ahead in the sequel.
  • Gosei and Noah's closeness towards the team hints that they had met before. In Super Megaforce, they did.
• Gondor Calls for Aid: To help the Megaforce team, Gosei contacts veteran Power Rangers to guide and train them.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Noah saves the remaining Rangers by blowing up the Power Chamber.
• Put on a Bus: Vrak leaves Earth to settle a civil war on the Armada home planet after his father died.
• Refusal of the Call: Initially, the alien members outright deny to become Power Rangers and leave. Noah is the most shocked about this. That is until the Warstar arrives and they decide to become Rangers, not wanting another world to suffer at the Armada's hands and think that this might be the best chance to restore their worlds.
• Robotic Reveal: Troy is revealed to be a cyborg.
• Scientist vs. Soldier: The Megaforce Rangers are the ones defending the Earth from the Warstar who only consists of military scientists.

Super Megaforce contains the following tropes:

• Battle in the Center of the Mind: Viginti absorbs the Power Rangers less Silver Ranger into his mind to destroy them. There they encounter various constructs of past villains like Goldar and Broodwing.
• The Bus Came Back: Vrak returns, now with a new look after undergone a royal metamorphosis.
• Canon Character All Along:
  • Venjix from Power Rangers RPM is really General Venjix from "Forever Red".
  • At the end of the series, it's revealed that Orion is not only Gosei but also the Phantom Ranger.
• Foreshadowing: Orion's familiarity with the Turbo and Space Rangers and vice versa hints about his true identity as Phantom Ranger.
• Heart Is an Awesome Power: While the Pink Dino Thunder Ranger Key is the least capable among the others but it's ability to store large amounts data allows Emma to have photographic memory and analyze attack patterns to prepare counter attacks.
• Mythology Gag: Various Super Sentai, even the ones preceding Zyuranger which Mighty Morphin is based are mentioned.
  • The Jungle Karma Pizza has photos of Dairanger, Maskman, Denziman, Changeman, Liveman and Bioman. These are Rangers are the Jungle Fury Ranger's predecessors.
  • Dr. K has photos of the RPM Rangers, Turbo Rangers and another car-themed Rangers. It's unknown if the third group are of Corinth or in another dimension.
• Related in the Adaptation: The Galactabeast Zords are members of the Wild Zords.
