Shigeru Miyamoto (Japanese: 宮本 茂, Hepburn: Miyamoto Shigeru, born November 16, 1952) is a Japanese video game designer, producer and game director at Nintendo, where he has served as one of its representative directors as an executive since 2002. Widely regarded as one of the most accomplished and influential designers in video games, he is the creator of some of the most acclaimed and best-selling game franchises of all time, including Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Star Fox and Pikmin. More than 1 billion copies of games featuring franchises created by Miyamoto have been sold. Born in Sonobe, Kyoto, Miyamoto graduated from Kanazawa Municipal College of Industrial Arts. He initially sought a career as a manga artist until developing an interest in video games. With the help of his father, he joined Nintendo in 1977 after impressing the president, Hiroshi Yamauchi, with his toys. He helped create art for the arcade game and was later tasked with designing a new one, leading to the 1981 game Donkey Kong. Miyamoto's games Super Mario Bros. (1985) and The Legend of Zelda (1986) helped the Nintendo Entertainment System dominate the console game market. His games have been flagships of every Nintendo video game console, from the arcade machines of the late 1970s to the present day. He managed Nintendo's Entertainment Analysis & Development software division, which developed many Nintendo games. He played an essential role in creating other influential games such as Pokémon Red and Blue (1996) and Metroid Prime (2002). Following the death of Nintendo president Satoru Iwata in July 2015, Miyamoto became acting president alongside Genyo Takeda until he was formally appointed "Creative Fellow" a few months later.

The Power Rangers begin a massive attack on the Universe with Dark Specter (now called Grand Specter) and Scrozzle, as well as re-programmed Thrax who now serves as General Fultank While every active Ranger resists, Lord Zedd discloses his true identity as Zophram, the original Red Eltarian Ranger, accompanied by previously unseen alien Rangers. However, when Scrozzle activates a siphoning beam that depletes the Grid, Billy Cranston engages a secret backup and takes a shot at Scrozzle, apparently neutralizing the threat. Nevertheless, Scrozzle is reconstructed as Throzzle, now intending to weaponize Dark Ranger Gears crafted from stolen powers. While in stasis, Grand Spector uncovers a new realm—our realm—where Power Rangers exist solely as fiction. Throzzle aims to subjugate it. With all Ranger teams incapacitated, Billy and the Morphin Masters develop the Spectrum Ranger, a final-hope hero energized by limited Morphin Fibers. They enlist Matthew Patrick (MatPat), a brilliant yet unexpected choice. Assisting him are the Rangerborgs—Mario, Freddy Fazbear, Monika, and Steve—video game icons endowed with actual character souls and human disguises. Equipped with Gatling Morphers and Ranger Gears, they must thwart the RelmTech Empire, cleanse corrupted Ranger powers, and safeguard both the real world and the Power Rangers legacy itself.
