Shockingly well made for the first game in a franchise known for very bad video game adaptations. As a certified person that thinks South Park was peak television when it was just children making penis jokes and falls off massively after it tried having A Purpose, I figured this would be something with neat fanservice to gawk at like the other Acclaim titles in this series, but nah, it's a pretty good puzzle platformer with a charming vibe. Plays like an interesting mix between GB Donkey Kong and The Lost Vikings. I imagine you'd get next to zero enjoyment out of this if you didn't find bit crunched samples of two grown men swearing in children's voices funny, but I do so moot point. Those alien timer levels blow though, no idea why they thought those were fun enough to warrant nearly 20 of them being in the game.

The more I learn about this game the more I'm amazed it exists in any capacity. How did this game get basically completed without anyone realizing that putting a South Park game on a console mostly owned by children was a bad decision? Why did they reskin this as a Mary-Kate and Ashley game two years later? Tim Follin did the soundtrack to it??? Incredibly strange choices all the way down on this thing.

I'm also pretty sure this is the only game boy game with an ethnic slur in it. Correct me if im wrong but iunno what else would have one
