As a member of the Burning Rangers , it is your job to put out a range of fires and rescue those trapped in the heat of the blaze.
During each level, your quad leader informs you of the critical areas inside certain buildings, such as multi-level warehouses. Following his advice, you must use your cybernetic powersuit to put out the flames in each area. Along the way you will also come across boss characters, who are out to light up the town, and you.
The gameplay is a mix of exploration and action, with an emphasis on timing and precision. You'll need to navigate through burning buildings, avoid hazards, and use your powersuit's abilities to overcome obstacles.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In a near-future world where technology has turned against humanity, you play as a member of the elite Burning Rangers tasked with navigating the man-made terrors of a changing society. Each mission thrusts you into dangerous industrial, undersea, and space environments to contain catastrophic disasters caused by rogue AI and malfunctioning machinery. Your objective is to survive deadly hazards, eliminate the sources of destruction, and rescue trapped survivors to protect human life and restore hope.

Introduction
It is the near future. The world has changed; the people are the same.
Humanity still survives on dreams and hope. But the dreams are being forgotten, the hope is fading.
It is the Burning Rangers' task to face the man-made terrors of the new age, entering the most dangerous areas to save the lives of those trapped by disaster.
Their task is not only to rescue people, it is to rescue hope from the dark path the world has taken.
Mission 1
According to the scraps of information that are coming through, there's been a breach of the core reactor at the power plant. The central computer has somehow taken complete control of the plant and its HST-series robots.
You've been sent in to run the gauntlet of blazing passageways, searing generator rooms, and super-flammable fuel cells in an attempt to shut down the reactor before the whole place is blown to smithereens.
Mission 2
An unexplained accident has occurred at an undersea marine research laboratory. The Burning Rangers must access the research facilities and rescue the trapped researchers.
Watch out for the lab's Guardian-series robots - it seems they've started to attack anything that moves.
Mission 3
A huge, silent space station drifts helplessly in the void. Inside, the scene is not so peaceful - flames are beginning to spread throughout the vessel, fueled by the precious oxygen onboard.
Your mission is to rescue any survivors from an untimely death, and eliminate the cause of this terrible incident.
How to Play
Starting Up
Set up your Sega Saturn system as described in its instruction manual. Plug in Control Pad 1. Note that Burning Rangers is for one player.
Place the Burning Rangers disc, label side up, in the well of the CD tray and close the lid. Turn on the TV or monitor and the Sega Saturn. The Sega Saturn logo appears onscreen. If nothing appears, turn the system off and ensure it is set up correctly before turning it on again.
If you wish to stop a game in progress and return to the on-screen Control panel, simultaneously press Buttons A, B, C and Start on the Sega Saturn Control Pad. When the game Title screen appears, press the same buttons again to go to the on-screen Control panel.
Your Sega Saturn CD contains a security code that allows the disc to be read. Be sure to keep the disc clean and handle it carefully. If your Sega Saturn system has trouble reading the disc, remove the disc and wipe it carefully, starting from the center and wiping straight out toward the edge.
Getting Started
After the Sonic Team and CRI ADX logos appear, an intro movie begins. Press Start to exit the movie and bring up the Burning Rangers Title screen.
If you've just turned on or reset your Sega Saturn, the Data Select screen appears after the Title screen. Here you can select data from a previously saved game, or choose where to save a new game's data.
Selecting a Data File
First, select whether you wish to save your game data to a cartridge (Sega Saturn Backup cartridge, sold separately) or internal RAM memory. Press the D-Pad up or down to highlight the memory medium, and Button A or C to select. Select a memory location in the same way. The Data Select screen can also be accessed from the OPTIONS menu.
Erasing a Data File
To erase a data file, select the data file, then press the D-Pad right to highlight the “DELETE” box. Press Button A or C to delete.
Mode Select
Press the D-Pad up or down to highlight a mode and press Button A or C to select. The modes available are STORY MODE, OPTIONS, and MAIL. Initially, MAIL is not available. This mode activates once you start receiving electronic messages from those you have rescued.
Story Mode
Press the D-Pad left or right to highlight Shou Amabane or Tillis. Press A, C or Start to select the character.
Training Space
The first time you play Burning Rangers, you proceed to the Training Space after selecting your character. Here you get to meet the rest of the team and learn the basic techniques needed to undertake your first mission.
Mission Select
At first, you can select only Training Space or the first of the four Burning Rangers missions. Press the D-Pad up or down to highlight a mission, then select with Button A or C.
Once you have completed a mission, you receive a password which allows you to disable the random generation feature. See Password Mission on page 25.
Crystals
The Burning Rangers' shields and transporters require crystalline energy to operate. When your character is close to a crystal, it is automatically collected. Crystals appear just after a flame has been extinguished but disappear quickly. Crystals can also be found floating at various places throughout each mission. Transportation requires a minimum of five crystals.
•
Red Crystals contain one crystal energy unit
•
Green Crystals contain five crystal energy units
Transportation
The main objective of your missions is to rescue trapped survivors. As a Burning Ranger, you are equipped with a remote transportation device that allows you to transport survivors to the Burning Rangers' ship. In order to transport a survivor, simply approach him or her.
•
Transportation requires a minimum of five crystals.
•
For the sake of safety, up to ten crystals will be used (if you possess that many).
•
If ten crystals are used in transportation, you receive an extra shield [Continue].
Switches
Some doors cannot be opened without the activation of a switch. Often these switches are located elsewhere in the complex. Once you find a switch, press Button B (the Action Button) to activate it.
Retry Screen
If you sustain damage without shield protection, the RETRY screen appears (unless you have no remaining continues). If you choose to retry, your character appears at the last continue point in the game. When you begin playing, there are three continues remaining after your first is lost. If there are no remaining continues, the GAME OVER screen appears.
Danger Limit Readout System
As time progresses, the danger level of the environment increases. The danger level can be reduced by extinguishing fires. The explosion of chemical containers, fuel tanks, etc., causes danger levels to increase rapidly.
The Total Danger Limit Graph indicates the total risk level. At each increment of 20%, the heat and pressure of the surroundings reach a limit that triggers off multiple explosions. However, after a few seconds, things calm down again-but only until the next 20% limit.
If the Total Danger Limit hits 100%... move, fast.
Mission Result
If you manage to complete a mission, the Mission Result screen appears. You receive a performance rating based on four criteria:
•
RESCUED: The number of survivors transported back to base.
•
CRYSTAL: The number of crystals you are carrying at the end of the mission.
•
BOSS: The time taken to defeat the mission's boss.
•
LIMIT: The Danger Limit at the end of the mission.
