The consensus among pinball players is that ''South Park'' is an easy and unbalanced game whose primary appeal is the license. Unfortunately, that also worked against the game in many locations -- even with the objectionable elements toned down, many family-friendly establishments refused to carry the game (or drew the ire of angry parents when they did), while patrons at adult-oriented venues were [[AnimationAgeGhetto hesitant to play a game based on a cartoon]]. As a result, fans of the game often use the terms "overlooked" and "underrated" to describe it.

* DummiedOut: Probably the only reason this is known for its infamous protoype, which re-enables the VideoMode removed by Comedy Central. See VideoMode below.



* VideoMode: The game originally had a "Carpet Munching Race" Video Mode. As Stan, the player competed against Cartman to see who could munch carpet faster and impress Ms. Ellen as the bigger Lesbian. It was disabled soon after the game's release [[ExecutiveMeddling at the insistence of Comedy Central,]] but [=ROMs=] with it enabled are available from private sellers. More information is [[http://tcrf.net/Proto:South_Park_%28Pinball%29 available here]] (link somewhat NSFW).
