Gekisou Sentai Carranger: Zenkai! Racer Senshi (激走戦隊カーレンジャー 全開!レーサー戦士, Gekisō Sentai Kārenjā Zenkai! Rēsā Senshi, Racing Squadron Carranger: Full Force! Racer Warrior) is the licensed video game of the Carranger series. It was released in Japan by Bandai in 1996, and required the Sufami Turbo accessory. Despite the fact that Carranger was adapted into Power Rangers: Turbo, the game was never brought to the North American market as such because, by the time Turbo premiered in 1997, the Nintendo 64 had been on North American shores for several months. The N64 had only just come out in Japan when the game was released, so not everyone had switched yet.

Gameplay
The RV Mechas have been dismantled and their parts scattered all around, so it is up to the Carrangers to collect all the parts required to rebuild them, all the while fighting the Bowzock gang. The parts appear in the form of cogs and gears, and can only be obtained by striking various objects and killing off Wumpers along the way, among other forms (finding and getting an engine, for example, will give off ten parts). Each Mecha requires 50 parts to be rebuilt.
Endings
There are two possible endings depending on whether or not all five mecha were rebuilt. If they are, then the "good" ending is triggered. After Gynamo grows huge, RV Robo is formed and proceeds to battle Gynamo in the middle of the city. RV Robo than defeats Gynamo once and for all. If not, the "bad" ending will be triggered instead, where the Carranger are unable to form RV Robo. With no one to stop them, the Bowzock end up destroying the Earth.
Development
Zenkai! Racer Senshi was developed by Natsume, who previously worked on the Choujin Sentai Jetman video game for the Family Computer, as well as all four Power Rangers video games that were released in North America for the Super NES.
