Based on the first two movies in the ''Film/AustinPowers'' comedy series, the game has you accompany the British super-spy as he battles Dr. Evil and his forces across time. Foil Fat Bastard behind the toilet, spin Mini-Me into submission, then use the right loop to defeat the other Henchmen. Bash Dr. Evil to restore Austin's mojo, shoot the center ramp to activate the Time Machine, and fire the Big Frickin' Laser at Washington DC when it swings out from the bottom of the playfield. If you're groovy enough, you can stop the Subeterranian Drill, take down Virtucon, and destroy Dr. Evil's Moon Base all while Austin dances away.

''Austin Powers'' was released at a time when arcade pinball was fighting for survival, as the closure of Creator/WilliamsElectronics left Creator/SternPinball scrambling to stay afloat as the only remaining manufacturer. As such, ''Austin Powers'' is derided by pinheads for its simplistic rules, clunky flow, shoddy workmanship, uninspired backglass, and pixelated art. Despite all this, it remains popular with casual players and fans of the films, who just want to have fun batting a ball around Dr. Evil's henchmen.

!!The ''Austin Powers'' pinball demonstrates the following tropes:

* BaldOfEvil[=/=]CardCarryingVillain: Dr. Evil.
* TheDragon: Both Mini-Me and Fat Bastard are prominently featured in the game.
* FatBastard: The TropeNamer himself appears in his kilted glory behind the playfield toilet.
* IslandBase[=/=]DefaceOfTheMoon: On the backglass, Dr. Evil's volcanic base can be seen, with his face carved on one side of the volcano.
* LovableSexManiac: Austin himself.
* ManInAKilt: Fat Bastard. Fortunately, only his upper half is visible, so there's no chance of seeing what he has underneath.
* MsFanservice: Vanessa Kensington and Felicity Shagwell.
* RightHandCat: Dr. Evil is shown holding Mr. Bigglesworth on the playfield. Also, a small, easy-to-miss plastic model of Mr. Bibblesworth is screwed to the inside of the cabinet, near the upper-right corner.
* TheSixties: The playfield is decorated in rainbow colors, bright flowers, and groovy lettering.
* SpyCatsuit: Worn by Vanessa Kensington on the left slingshot bumper.
* ThighHighBoots: Both Vanessa and Felicity wear these on the backglass.
* TimeTravel: Shoot the center ramp up to the Time Machine four times to start Time Machine Multiball.
