[edit] Introduction
A comet is revealed to be heading towards South Park, you must try to stop it before it lands and kill the various evil forces it has spawned. Mutant turkeys, killer cows, "Visitors", giant clones, living toys and robots are among the many evil minions and enemies that have flocked to South Park because of the comet. Your only help are various weapons and Chef who can give you advice.
[edit] Gameplay
You play the game by firstly, picking one of the boys (Cartman, Kyle, Stan or Kenny). In multiplayer mode, you can unlock characters and play head to head. In the game you must constantly fire at opponents using various weapons. Eventually you find the tanks and even mecha-versions of the tanks. The mecha-versions shoot out tanks and tanks shoot out clones.
[edit] Head to Head Mode
Head to Head mode lets you pick a level and then you and a selected opponent battle it out using gizmos and gadgets. You can choose either a time limit, or a damage limit or the game can go on forever. You need to unlock head to head characters. See below for how to do so.
[edit] Cheesy Poofs Decoder
When you reach a certain stage on the game you are given a code. You can then go to the Cheesy Poofs decoder and tap in the code. Then click end and if typed in correct you'll get your character.
You can unlock the following:
- Terrance
SPOILER The Main cheat to unlock everything is Bobbybird
[edit] Gadgets
These can restore health, send your opponent dancing away or being flattened by a cow. These come in two categories and one sub category.
[edit] Weapons
Various weapons can be picked up along the way. They are usually hidden on short cuts or alleyways or any other hidden place.
- Snowballs- Infinite snowballs are the default (and weakest) weapon. Secondary function: Yellow snowballs (there is a brief animation that suggests they have been peed on). These snowballs have a small blast radius.
The rest of the weapons will need to be collected over time as pick ups.
- Dodgeballs- These are red and are usually found in a line. They can bounce at your opponent and cause damage. Secondary function: the dodgeball is thrown much harder, doing more damage.
- Toilet Plunger Launcher- This causes moderate damage by sticking to an opponent or object. Secondary function: fires three plungers at a time.
- Terrance Dolls- These act as mines, sticking to surfaces and releasing a deadly green gas if someone steps on them. Secondary function: Phillip dolls, act as fart grenades, doing more damage.
- Sponge Dart Launcher- A rapid fire gun equivalent to Doom's Chaingun.
- Warpo Ray-
Function 1- Fires piranhas at your enemy. In this fire mode, its damage rating is similar to Quake II's Hyperblaster.
Function 2- Reverses your opponents' controls.
Function 3- Turns your opponents into animals.
- Sniper Chicken- Fires eggs at your opponent. Secondary function: Sniper rifle function. The equivalent of Quake II's railgun, especially in regards to damage and rate of fire.
- Cow Launcher- Fires a cow, which lands anus-first on an opponent's head, causing considerable damage and partially obstructing the opponent's screen. This weapon is a parody of the Cerebral Bore weapon in the Turok games. Both games were created by Acclaim and released at nearly the same time.
[edit] Head to Head Gadgets
These can only be used in head-to-head mode. They are:
- Alien Dancing Gizmo- Sends your opponent into a dancing frenzy.
