Which button Cosmo Royale pushes upon the contestant's defeat depends on the unanimous vote of the Warrior Dome's audience.

Galaxy Warriors contestants

Galvanax would have his contestants fight each other for other people's amusements and would deploy some of them to Earth to fight the Ninja Steel Rangers. To make a contestant grow, Cosmo Royale would hit the blue button on the Stage Machine that activates the Gigantify Ray .

  • Korvaka (voiced by Tim Raby) is a cyborg cat monster who is the first monster fought by the Ninja Steel Rangers. According to Cosmo Royale, Korvaka was the champion from the Ninninjer Galaxy. After defeating Lavagor and being unable to pull the Ninja Star from the Ninja Nexus Prism. After Brody claimed the Red Ninja Star and the Ninja Nexus Prism, Korvaka was dispatched to catch him. When Korvaka catched up to him on Earth, he attacks Brody until Sarah and Preston show up to help him. Upon the three of them using the Ninja Stars they obtained to become the Ninja Steel Rangers, Brody, Sarah, and Preston destroy Korvaka with the Ninja Blasters. He is a partially-repainted version of Mig's cyborg form from Power Rangers Operation Overdrive.
  • Lavagor is a robotic monster from the Extenz System. On "Galaxy Warriors," Lavagor was easily destroyed by Korvaka in combat. He is a recycled version of the Venjix Virus' first body from Power Rangers RPM.
  • Ripperat (voiced by Adrian Smith) is a cyborg Kamaitachi monster with scythe-shaped chainsaws attached to his arms. He was dispatched by Galvanax to attack Calvin Maxwell, Hayley Roster, and Mick Kanic until the Nexus Prism saves them enough for Calvin and Hayley to become Ninja Steel Rangers. Brody, Sarah, and Preston arrive to help them fight Ripperat. Upon being taken down by Brody's Ninja Steel Slash, Ripperat is enlarged by Cosmo Royale. The Ninja Steel Rangers were able to summon their Zords who destroy Ripperat.
  • Spinferno (voiced by Greg Ward) is a roller skating fire-elemental Kasha monster. He can expel heat from his hands and move fast in his roller skates enough to form a tornado around them. Spinferno was sent down to attack the Rangers where he was repelled by Brody using the Datacom. Spinferno had attacked town as Victor and Montry try to fight him which annoys Spinferno. After Spinferno sends Victor and Monty flying, the rest of the Ninja Steel Rangers had to fight Spinferno without Brody. After some encouragement from Mick, Brody catches up to the rest of the Rangers and joins the fight against Spinferno who summons the Kudabots. With Calvin luring Spinferno back to Conifer Park, the rest of the Rangers spring their traps by performing the Element Star Forest Attack to trap him and use the Element Star Final Strike to destroy Spinferno. As the audience voted to not have Spinferno enlarged, Cosmo Royale unleashed a Skullgator instead.
  • Slogre (voiced by Ian Hughes) is a Kappa/fire extinguisher monster. He can uses a special mist that makes anyone slow. Slogre was summoned by Galvanax to fight the Rangers alongside the Kudabots. After Sarah, Calvin, and Hayley are exposed to Slogre's mists, Preston used his magic to fend off Slogre with a fiery dragon attack. With Sarah, Calvin, and Hayley getting slower, Slogre takes the opportunity to take their Ninja Power Stars. Before he can finish them off after his boasting, Brody and Preston arrive. Using a magic scarf trick, Preston restrains Slogre while Brody reclaims the Ninja Power Stars from Slogre. As Brody and Preston morph, Slogre goes on the run as Brody and Preston pursue him and use the Ninja Steel Spin Final Attack to defeat him enough for his mists on Sarah, Calvin, and Hayley to regain the spin. Thanks to a unanimous vote from the audience, Cosmo Royale uses the Gigantify Ray to make Slogre grow as the Ninja Steel Megazord is formed to fight Slogre. Upon the Ninja Steel Megazord forming the Ninja Steel Megazord Dragon Formation, the Rangers take to the air to knock down Slogre. The Ninja Steel Megazord Dragon Formation uses the Dragon Lightning Final Attack to destroy Slogre.
  • Tangleweb (voiced by Jamie Linehan) is a Tsuchigumo/refrigerator monster who shrink down to spider size, emit webs, make use of his extra arms, and turn into a purple vortex that consumes everything in it's path. After Cosmo Royale was disgusted by Tangleweb regurgitating a Kudabot that he previously ate, Galvanax and Ripcon sent Tangleweb down to Earth to find the Rangers. After Victor nearly stepped on him, Tangleweb wrapped Victor and Monty in a web as he continues to search for the Rangers. Following Calvin's failed driving lesson in the park, Tangleweb attacked Brody, Sarah, Preston, and Haley upon returning to normal size. He then assumes his Vortex form where he sucks in Sarah, Preston, and Haley. Then Tangleweb consumes Brody and retreats just as Calvin arrives. With some advice from Mick, Calvin decides to face his fears and allows himself to be eaten by Tangleweb. Using the new Ninja Star that Mick and Redbot forged, Calvin empowers the motorcycle into a Mega Morph Cycle where he faces his fears enough to break everyone out of Tangleweb. After Sarah causes a mist to confuse Tangleweb, the Rangers combine their attacks to take down Tangleweb. Thanks to a unanimous vote from the audience, Cosmo Royal uses the Gigantify Ray to make Tangleweb grow as the Rangers summon their Zords. Upon Tangleweb trapping the Zords in his web, the Rangers receive the Ninja Star that enables them to summon the Rumble Tusk Zord which sucks in the webs freeing the Zords. After the Rumble Tusk Zord combines with the Ninja Steel Megazord to form the Rumble Tusk Megazord, the Rangers destroy Tangleweb with the Rumble Tusk Megazord's Double Axe Final Attack.
  • Badpipes (voiced by Kelson Henderson) is a Tengu/clarinet monster. The music from Badpipes' bagpipes can make people do his every command when he plays his bagpipes. In addition to his flight and extending his nose, Badpipes wields a fan that can deflect attacks and perform wind attacks. Badpipes first demonstrates his powers on Cosmo Royale and the Kudabots where he makes them dance. Badpipes ambushed Hayley and Cody where he used his music to obtain her Power Star only for Redbot to arrive. Upon getting his bagpipes back, he tries to attack Hayley only to injure Redbot. Cody digs some dirt into Badpipes' to buy Hayley and Redbot time to get away. Hayley and Redbot had to evade Bagpipes. The other Rangers fought Badpipes and Ripcon where Badpipes' music gets them to hand over their Power Stars until Hayley and Redbot arrived. As Redbot gets to safety, Badpipes and Ripcon take down the Rangers as Cody grabs the bagpipes enough for the Rangers to destroy them with their Ninja Blasters. While Brody fought Ripcon, Sarah, Preston, Calvin, and Hayley fought Badpipes. After beating Ripcon, Brody helps the other Rangers fight Badpipes. Preston and Sarah defeat Badpipes with the Aero Blast Final Strike. Thanks to a unanimous vote from the audience, Cosmo Royale uses the Gigantify Ray to make Badpipes grow as the Rangers form the Ninja Steel Megazord. Upon the Rumble Tusk Ninja Megazord being formed, Badpipes' nose was broken. Badpipes is then destroyed by the Rumble Tusk Megazord's Double Axe Final Attack.
  • Hacktrack (voiced by Ian Hughes) is an antenna-themed monster. He wields an antennae weapon that can absorb technology and shoot electrical beams. In addition, he can fly. Hacktrack ambushed the Rangers alongside the Kudabots in order to steal their technology. When Sarah's hologram malfunctions, Hacktrack steals the Holo-Projector. Using the Holo-Projector, Hacktrack improves his antennae weapon to make giant holographic clones of Galvanax. In order to stop the giant holo-clones, the Rangers had to find Hacktrack. With some help from Mick, Sarah plans to trick Hacktrack with a new Holo-Projector as Hacktrack ambushes them and absorbs the Holo-Projector. Sarah revealed that she loaded the Holo-Projector with a virus that shuts down the Galavanax holo-clones. After rebooting, Hacktrack fights the Rangers where he gets hit by the water attack. The Rangers take down Hacktrack with the Steel Slash Ninja Spin Final Attack. Thanks to a unanitmous vote from the audience, Cosmo Royale uses the Gigantify Ray to make Hacktrack grow as the Rangers form the Ninja Steel Megazord Dragon Formation to follow Hacktrack into the sky. As Hacktrack flies into outer space, Mick sends the Rangers the Ninja Star for the Astro Zord as they summon it. The Astro Ninja Steel Megazord is formed as they fight Hacktrack on the Moon. Hacktrack is destroyed by the Astro Ninja Steel Megazord's Cosmic Blast Final Attack.
