Lord Zedd takes notice of Rocky's penchant for playing Ernie's new pachinko machine. He places a spell on the Red Ranger, causing him to shirk all responsibilities to his karate student and his teammates, seeking nothing but fun and games! Zedd soon turns the machine into the Pachinko Head monster, who proceeds to turn the Rangers into pachinko balls! It's up to Tommy to save the day, but will the return of Serpentera make it more difficult?
Tropes:
- And I Must Scream: Five of the Rangers are transformed into giant pachinko balls and, based on Billy's reaction after being changed back, they were conscious the whole time.
- Beware the Silly Ones: Pachinko Head may seem like one of the silliest monsters, but he's very dangerous.
- Contrived Coincidence: Apparently, every time a monster attacked in the last six months, Ernie was off that day. It's this coincidence that leads Bulk and Skull to think he's a Power Ranger.
- It's All My Fault: Rocky says this after the spell was broken, but Alpha tells him not to blame himself.
- Literal-Minded: When Skull said he made a pie chart, he meant an actual pie.
- No Ontological Inertia: The pachinko machine is back after Pachinko Head was destroyed.
- Rhymes on a Dime: Pachinko Head, like Pumpkin Rapper before him.
