Considering this was the Dekaranger tribute episode in Gokaiger and there's no sign of SPD anywhere in the episode description, I'm banking on there being very few tribute episodes, actually. Being a tool and quoting myself:

3. Gokai Blue spotlight with the five swords battle.
4. Originally a Gaoranger/Wild Force tribute. (Gao Lion)
5. Then Shinkenger/Samurai. (Shinken Gokaioh)
6. Then Gekiranger/Jungle Fury.
7-8. Two parter introducing the Silver Ranger. (Gozyujin)
9. Episode introducing Gokai Silver Gold mode.
10. Apparently an original plot about Tensou.
11. Originally a Carranger/Turbo tribute.
12. Abaranger/Dino Thunder episode. (Gozyu Gokaioh)
13. The Green/Yellow body switch, now Green/Blue
14. Then Go-Onger/RPM. (Machalcon)
15. Final Battle of Warz Gill/Vekar (Kanzen Gokaioh)
16-19. The next 4 are unrevealed. (Possibly will incorporate Brajira/Vrak final battle from Goseiger)
20. Final episode

-Hasn't been revealed, but I think its a safe bet there'll be a Halloween and a Christmas clip show.

I think instead of adapting the Magiranger episode (Episode 3 of Gokaiger), Gosei will tell them the Mystic Dragon is a new power in Episode 3 of Super Megaforce as Magi Gokaioh was used in the episode that Episode 3 is adapting.

Interestingly enough, the only Yellow spotlight episode being adapted has swapped her to Blue. Come to think of it, has Gia ever had a spotlight episode? There's also no Red spotlights being adapted. Every Basco episode has also been cut unless somehow he's in the Silver Ranger two parter. The Ninja Storm episode has been cut, so Fuuraimaru/Mini Zord will likely be treated as a new thing in Super Megaforce Episode 13, probably because the Hurricaneger two-parter wasn't very adaption friendly, with a lot of Japanese culture jokes and unmorphed scenes/fights with the Hurricanegers.

Power Rangers seasons that had sentai-equivalent tributes in Gokaiger that aren't being adapted include Zeo, In Space, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, Ninja Storm, Mystic Force and Operation Overdrive.

So it seems Samurai, Jungle Fury, RPM and Wild Force are the only ones getting tributes outside of the final episode going by the episode descriptions. SPD, Dino Thunder and Turbo episodes are being adapted, but going by the episode descriptions, they're no longer tributes. (The Carranger episode wouldn't have worked for Turbo anyway)
