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 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.

!!The ''Shrek'' pinball demonstrates the following tropes:

* LighterAndSofter
* RecycledSet
* 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)-].
* 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".

* DialogDuringGameplay: '''LOTS.''' Numerous games are needed to hear all of the voice clips.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: Hitting the Death drop-down target shows Death getting hit in the face with a pinball.
* FartsOnFire: During "Fart Multiball", Peter shoots flames out of his rear.
* FatIdiot: Chris and Peter. Doubly so during "Lard Multiball", when Peter grows to grotesque size.
* FreakLabAccident: "Super Griffins", where the family gets super powers from toxic waste.

* FrothyMugsOfWater: On milder settings, the beer can is shown on the dot-matrix display as "Root Beer", with an alternate label to match.

* RayGun: Stewie zaps the letters in PINBALL with one.
* SexComedy: "Sexy Party", where Stewie gets chased around the house by a gaggle of scantily-clad women.

* VideoMode: "Chicken Fight", where Peter fights a man in a chicken suit. The player helps Peter land punches by making key shots on the playfield.
* VomitIndiscretionShot: "Ipecac Contest".
* WizardMode
** The first sub-Wizard Mode is "TV Wizard", available after completing all five TV Modes. Hit the different Jackpot shots before the Jackpot runs out to score the current value.
** The second sub-Wizard Mode is "Stewie Multiball", which starts after Stewie gets all of the other family members in his pinball game. Play both pinball tables at the same time, collecting each character on both for a chance at the Super Jackpot.
** The Wizard Mode is "Sperm Attack", which can only be reached by playing well in six goals.[[note]]At least 5 Evil Monkey jackpots, 10 Crazy Chris shots, 15 Fart Multiball jackpots, all of the Beer Can awards, getting the Stewie Multiball super jackpot, and scoring 25 million or more in TV Wizard mode.[[/note]] The attack starts on Stewie's mini-pinball, but soon migrates to the main playfield; there are four balls in play, and the player must shoot as many jackpot shots as possible. Truly exceptional players can even restart "Sperm Attack" when only two balls remain, further increasing their jackpot rewards.
