As one would expect, the game is based on the [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark infamous animated show]] from Creator/TreyParkerAndMattStone, and brings with it the show's notorious ToiletHumor, [[ObligatorySwearing foul language,]] and obscene attitudes. Help Stan kiss Wendy, retrieve Mr. Hankey for Kyle, give Cartman an anal probe, recruit the kids for Chef's football team, and kill Kenny repeatedly. Hit Mr. Hankey to start multiball, then flush pinballs down the toilet for the jackpot -- and be prepared to save the townsfolk in case of unexpected volcano eruptions.

* VindicatedByHistory: Though pinball fans are still not very forgiving towards this game, operators have since decided to give it a chance, as what was shocking and edgy in 1999 doesn't feel nearly as such by the 2010's. These operators soon learned that ''South Park'' earns well in public places and, despite the high prices due to demand from other operators and from fans of the TV show, they are willing to pay the price to obtain one due to its popularity with the mainstream compared to most other pinball machines.

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 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.

* AdjustibleCensorship: The game's profanity level could be set to either "PG-13" or "G-rated". The latter replaced the offensive names and voice clips with inoffensive ones, and changed the end-of-game match sequence to a belching contest. There were also decals for covering up the offensive playfield art, such as Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo.

!!This pinball game demonstrates the following tropes:

* AdjustibleCensorship: The game's profanity level could be set to either "PG-13" or "G-rated". The latter replaced the offensive names and voice clips with inoffensive ones, and changed the end-of-game match sequence to a belching contest. There were also decals for covering up the offensive playfield art, such as Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo.
-->'''Stan:''' "They killed Kenny!"
-->'''Kyle:''' "Rats!"
* AnalProbing: Cartman's mode.
* AntiFrustrationFeature: If you play poorly on the first two balls, the Extra Ball is lit at the start of the third.
* BigBrotherBully: Stan to Ike.
-->'''Ike:''' "Don't kick the baby!"
* {{Bowlderize}}: Mildly; the original version of the game software (see Video Mode, below) included ''more'' offensive language than what appears in the final product, such as [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch "bitch"]]. Comedy Central demanded the change soon after the game's release.
* CatchPhrase: But of course.
-->'''Stan:''' "Oh my god, you killed Kenny!"
-->'''Kyle:''' "You bastard!"
* FatBastard: Cartman.
* NonHumanSidekick: Mr. Hankey.
* SkillShot: Hit the target below Mr. Hankey for 5 million (or more) points.
* TakeThatAudience: Pressing Start without any credits prompts the game to quip
-->"Come on! Even Kenny's family has a quarter."
* ToiletHumour: Lots, such as the "Super Fart Bumpers" or Terrance & Phillip farting for the end-of-game match sequence. The playfield even has a toilet where Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo pops out of.
* VideoMode: The game originally had a "Carpet Munching Race" Video Mode. The player controlled Stan, who was competing with Cartman to see who could munch carpet faster and impress Ms. Ellen as the bigger Lesbian. The mode was disabled soon after the game's release at the insistence of Comedy Central, but [=ROMs=] with it enabled are available from private sellers.
* WizardMode:
** The sub-Wizard Mode is "Spooky Vision", and is available if you start all five characters' modes but fail to complete all of them. This is a five-ball multiball where the objective is to hit each character's shot a number of times.
** If all five missions are completed, "Volcano" is available, another five-ball multiball where the goal is to save the town from an erupting volcano. Hit 15 lit shots (worth 10 million each) to save the town and reap a 60 million bonus.
