** The Stick of Truth is really just a Macguffin prop. For the kids in the 'Fighters of Zaron' game ,the whole 'control the universe' thing only really amounts to being able to bend certain rules, as Jimmy demonstrated when he was able to get away with holding the door to his room shut when Cartman and the rest of Kupa Keep persued him to take the Stick from him.

* Why is the military [[AdultsAreUseless unable to defeat the zombie outbreak and all the other insanity in South Park]], while the children are able to fight with toy weapons? The children have the Stick of Truth. Whoever controls the Stick, controls the Universe. Since it is being used in a LARP game, ''only LARP players are able to do a damn thing''. The game has become so SeriousBusiness, [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve it's affecting reality itself]].

Removal of What An Idiot potholes


** In the YMMV page, it has been mentioned that the Big Bad Government Guy [[WhatAnIdiot really believed that the stick was some sort of magical weapon]]. But, if you really think about it, even though he isn't a player, he still ''was'' able to do something important with it: [[spoiler:since BBGG isn't a player and can't play, the temptation of the Stick converts a player to his side - Kenny. And BBGG is in full control even after Kenny zombifies himself]].

** Because, it's a parody of the DangerousForbiddenTechnique trope. "If you use this...you might die!" Kinda stuff. Plus, it saved everyone from the Nazi Zombies by causing a VERY large explosion of pure light and energy. And, considering it started the next morning? You probably killed Kenny. You bastard.

* Why does the government want The New Kid based on his [[ability to make friends quickly on the social networks]]? Considering that many politicians and government agencies have social network accounts, they could exploit his ability to create a facade of popularity for voters or fake support for their questionable policies posted online.

* If you play as a fighter, one of your abilities is Roshambo: The New Kid plays rock-paper-scissors with the enemy, then kicks them in the balls. And can do so twice in a row for good measure. The only enemies who respond to the Roshambo by doing the rock-paper-scissors part are other kids... [[spoiler: and the zombified Chef, who may have been turned into both a Nazi AND a zombie by Clyde, but still has that connection with the children of South Park to the point where he will play along to their games, altered mind be damned.]]

*** The New Kid being one of the background kids does sound plausible, given that both Matt and Trey confirmed that both this game and its [[VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole follow-up]] are canon to the series.

** Though considering how the post-main story gameplay shows that the New Kid is still on friendly terms with the kids of South Park, this may not be entirely the case. But since no he was given no canon physical appearance by Trey and Matt, he could easily be any of the background kids that appeared in episodes that take place after the game's release.

* Every companion has a unique power they can use in battle that takes up a certain slot on the battle menu and represents a fundamental part of their class (Butters has a healing touch, Stan has his dog (or animal companion), Kenny has a charm ability, et cetera), but on the New Kid's battle menu that slot is taken up by the Summon option. [[spoiler:In other words, he literally wields ThePowerOfFriendship.]]

*If it's against the rules for any kingdom to take the stick and hide it, or to steal it in the middle of the night, shouldn't [[spoiler: Evil Overlord Clyde]] not have any control over the stick's power, or at least get some kind of penalty for breaking those rules?
