A few months after ''Pinball/FamilyGuy'' came out, Creator/SternPinball released ''Shrek'', based on the [[WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} first three films]] in the series. It was a rethemed version of ''Family Guy'', allowing Stern to [[LighterAndSofter sell the same game to a wider audience]], particularly in Europe (where ''Family Guy'' was not as popular).

A few months after ''Family Guy'' came out, Stern Pinball released ''Shrek'', based on the [[WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} first three films]] in the series. It was a rethemed version of ''Family Guy'', allowing Stern to [[LighterAndSofter sell the same game to a wider audience]], particularly in Europe (where ''Family Guy'' was not as popular).

In terms of gameplay, ''Shrek'' and ''Family Guy'' are exactly the same -- the changes were to the artwork, sound effects, and jokes. Some owners have even installed ''Shrek'' game [=ROMs=] into their ''Family Guy'' machines to get two titles in the same cabinet ([[{{Troll}} or to mess with unsuspecting players]]).

----
!!The ''Shrek'' pinball demonstrates the following tropes:
* NotQuiteStarring: The game uses soundalikes for Mike Myers, Creator/EddieMurphy, and the other voice actors from the original films.
* RageAgainstTheReflection: The trope is alluded to with Prince Charming's playfield target, a mirror mounted on a pillar that the player hits with the ball.
* SecondaryAdaptation: The game adapts elements from ''WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}}'', ''WesternAnimation/Shrek2'', and ''WesternAnimation/ShrekTheThird'', all of which are based on the 1990 children's book ''Literature/{{Shrek}}''.
* SpellingBonus: On the main playfield, spelling BABY repeatedly starts Baby Multiball, while spelling PINBALL enables Donkey's pinball machine. Donkey's pinball has FIONA, [-(Gingerbread)-] MAN, SHREK, PUSS, and CHARM [-(Prince Charming)-].
* VillainDecay: Prince Charming, who was already a pretty ineffectual villain in the movies, is counted alongside the protagonists of the series here.
* WizardMode: Aside from name changes, all of the Wizard Modes are the same as those of ''Family Guy'':
** The sub-Wizard Modes "TV Wizard" and "Stewie Multiball" have been renamed to "Swamp Wizard" and "Donkey Multiball".
** The main Wizard Mode, "Sperm Attack", becomes the age-appropriate "Far Far Away".
