2	''Denji Sentai Megaranger vs. Carranger'' is a 1998 direct-to-video movie which depicts a {{crossover}} between ''Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger'' and ''Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger'', part of the annual ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' "Vs. Series".
3
4	This V-Cinema special takes place between episodes 39 and 40 of ''Megaranger'', and some time after the finale of ''Carranger''.
5	-----
6	!!This movie contains examples of the following tropes:
7	* ContinuitySnarl: Not as bad as others, but still present:
8	** In the case of [[Series/GekisouSentaiCarranger Carranger]], this special can take place after that series' finale without any issue whatsoever.
9	** In the case of Megaranger, this episode can only take place on its earliest on episode 39[[note]]Many guides list it between episode 39 and 40 of Megaranger[[/note]] due the presence of Lizard Nezilar among the revived monsters, but this particular placement is in the middle of the [[PsychoRangers Neziranger]] story-arc, which didn't have any kind of downtime whatsoever for the main cast due to the restless pursuit of the Nezirangers against the main cast. The former aren't even mentioned in the film proper, making it very difficult for its placement in continuity[[note]]Not helping matters is that it can't take place after the Neziranger's defeat because the villain are still residing in the dimension of Neziregia, which was destroyed in episode 43 due to Javious' demise[[/note]]. Were it not for Lizard Nezilar's presence among the revived monsters, it could actually take place just before the Neziranger story arc.
10	* {{Crossover}}: Between ''Carranger'' and ''Megaranger''.
11	* {{Expy}}: Helmedor can be considered this. He is a space biker who's goal is to destroy planets in order to build a motorcycle racing ramp throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. A scheme that's almost identical to Exhaus's plan from the main season of ''Carranger''.
12	* IdiotBall: Due to the plot centering around a Dragon-Fairy with seemingly no limits to his wishing power, the characters in it are this. The first two wishes are wasted for food items by Miku and Kyosuke who are rightfully yelled at for their stupidity. Later the villains get two wishes and wish for a planet-destroying laser weapon and a wish that resurrects certain monsters back from the dead. While the former wish was what Helmedor intended from the start and he achieves half of his goals, the latter wish was the perfect opportunity for Nezirejia to rid themselves of the Megaranger in one fell swoop if they simply wished they were dead. The same thing could be said for the Rangers when they get the final wish, why didn't they use the wish to defeat Nezirejia for good instead of using it for a short-term power up?
13	* InTheNameOfTheMoon: For the Vs. movie, both teams give their roll call in succession. In this case, the previous team (Carranger) goes first, followed by the current team (Megaranger).
14	--> '''Kyosuke''': "[=RedRacer=]!"
15	--> '''Naoki''': "[=BlueRacer=]!"
16	--> '''Minoru''': "[=GreenRacer=]!"
17	--> '''Natsumi''': "[=YellowRacer=]!"
18	--> '''Yoko''': "[=PinkRacer=]!"
19	---> '''Carrangers''': "Fighting for traffic safety! ''Gekisou Sentai - [=CaaaarrrRanger=]!"
20	--> '''Kenta''': "[=MegaRed=]!"
21	--> '''Kouichiro''': "[=MegaBlack=]!"
22	--> '''Shun''': "[=MegaBlue=]!"
23	--> '''Chisato''': "[=MegaYellow=]!"
24	--> '''Miku''': "[=MegaPink=]!"
25	---> '''Megarangers''': "Denji Sentai... Megaranger!"
26	* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: For this movie only, Shibolena has the ability to brainwash enemies to Nezirejia’s cause by blowing them a kiss.
27	* QuestForAWish: The entire premise and plot of the special are the heroes and villains duking it out for the power of the Dragon-Fairy Picoto, who can grant anyone 5 wishes when they spray water on him or the shell he lives in.
28	* SuperMode: This movie features the Megaranger's Mega Tector armor which doesn't appear in the series.
29	* VersusTitle: In this case, the "versus" refers to the initial small conflict of interest between the teams, then the all-out brawl when the Carrangers are brainwashed by Shibolena.
30	* WastefulWishing: Miku Imamura/Mega Pink and Kyosuke Jinnai/Red Racer wish for Giant Cake and Katsudon respectively.
