'''''Angry Birds Rio''''' was the third mainline installment of the [[Angry Birds (series)|''Angry Birds'' series]]. It was developed by [[Rovio Entertainment Corporation|Rovio Entertainment]] and published by the former alongside [[Collaboration|Fox Digital Entertainment]] and 20th Century Fox (now [[w:c:20thcenturystudios:20th Century Studios|20th Century Studios]], a division of The Walt Disney Company), in March 2011 to promote the ''[[w:c:rio:Rio|Rio]]'' film. In 2014, it would be updated to promote ''[[w:c:rio:Rio 2|Rio 2]]''.
   
  +
As with all remaining ''Angry Birds'' games released before ''[[Angry Birds Transformers]]'' (aside from ''[[Angry Birds Friends]]''), ''Angry Birds Rio'' was deleted from the App Store and Google Play Store in 2019. In early 2020, the game was officially discontinued and the servers for ''Angry Birds Rio'' were closed down. However, the game can still be played as normal except from microtransactions and advertisements being disabled.
−
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a special edition of ''[[Angry Birds]]'', released as a tie-in with the 2011 animated film ''[[wikipedia:Rio (film)|Rio]]''. Angry Birds Rio includes 8 episodes, each with 30 levels and a bonus episode consisting of 30 levels. Each area is set in the city of [[wikipedia:Rio de Janeiro|Rio de Janeiro]].
  
   
  +
It is possible, though unlikely that ''Angry Birds Rio'' will return along with other games like ''Seasons'' after Rovio said in a [[Rovio Classics: Angry Birds]] Facebook reply that it "will be a long shot due to the license".<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/RovioEntertainment/photos/a.308072755920150/4709943942399654/?type=3 "Hello there, I understand that you are curious about the release of Angry Birds Epic. we’re really focusing on 2012, and understanding how to get classic specifically re-released. Honestly, AB Star Wars will be a long shot due to the license, and Epic and GO! weren’t premium slingshot titles, so will need a more thorough evaluation. You can also refer to this link down below for more information. https://rov.io/BB2012 Thank you." (November 24, 2021) - @Rovio]</ref>

The tablet version is called '''''Angry Birds Rio HD''''' and features a higher resolution.
  
  +
==History==
  +
===Development===
  +
After the announcement of the ''Rio'' movie, [[Rovio Entertainment Corporation]] partnered with [[Collaboration|Fox Digital Entertainment]], 20th Century Fox (now [[w:c:20thcenturystudios:20th Century Studio|20th Century Studios]], a division of The Walt Disney Company) and Blue Sky Studios to produce a crossover game to promote it. The game was developed by the original team of the first game and was released on March 22, [[2011]], the same day as the Brazilian release of the movie.
   
  +
The game was updated with new content since then. On December 18, 2012, ''Angry Birds Rio'' was updated with four new power-ups. the first is the [[Power Potion|Super Seeds]] (now the Power Potion). The second is the [[Sling Scope]], but with a different icon (has a [[marmoset]] instead of a [[Minion Pig]] on the icon). The third is called [[TNT Drop]], similar to the one from the [[Christmas Tournament]] in [[2012]]. The last is called [[Samba Burst]], exclusive to ''Rio''. This will replace the bird on the slingshot with [[Red]] wearing a fruit hat and, once launched and hit an obstacle, will make him dance and destroy more of the structure. Also, 24 new levels were released, along with the [[Mighty Eagle]] on Android devices. Some of the levels are unlocked with a certain number of stars on the levels in the episodes each, while others are unlocked by collecting 10 feathers with the Mighty Eagle on each episode. In [[2014]], to promote the release of the ''Rio 2'' movie, the game was updated with new episodes based on the movie's story.
  +
===Removal from the app stores===
  +
As with all remaining ''Angry Birds'' games released before ''[[Angry Birds Transformers]]'' (aside from ''[[Angry Birds Friends]]''), ''Angry Birds Rio'' was deleted from the App Store and Google Play Store in [[2019]], but the app still works.
  +
===Server Shutdown===
  +
On February 3, [[2020]], along with [[Angry Birds Star Wars]] and [[Angry Birds Star Wars II]], the was announced that the game would have its servers shut down due to licensing issues. This means the player can still play the game, but won't receive advertisements or be able to make in-app purchases, and not be able to open the daily gift.

==Plot==
  
==Plot==
  +
===Storylines===
−
The game's storyline is loosely based on the film ''Rio''. The plot focuses on the signature [[Bird]] characters (including [[Rio Characters#Blu|Blu]] and [[Rio Characters#Jewel|Jewel]]), who are captured from their world by evil poachers and taken to [[wikipedia:Rio de Janeiro|Rio de Janeiro]] (located in Brazil), placed in a room alongside other captured birds from the ''Rio'' universe. The ''Angry Birds'' birds then get mad (despite the title), break out of their cage and proceed to rescue the other birds, plus Blue and Jewel, the protagonists from ''Rio'', while returning to their homeland.
  
  +
====Rio====
  +
[[File:Angry Birds Rio trailer The birds meet Nigel.png|thumb|left|250px|The Angry Birds meet Nigel for the first time.]]
  +
On a normal day on [[Piggy Island]], the [[The Flock|Angry Birds]] are taking care of the [[The Eggs|eggs]] as usual. However, they are suddenly caught by a helicopter and taken to a den in [[Rio de Janeiro]], [[Brazil]]. The bird responsible for the kidnapping, [[Nigel]], shows up and reveals that he had caught the Angry Birds to sell them in exchange of one hundred thousand dollars, as they were part of an "exceptionally rare species".<ref name="ABRioTrailer">{{Cite web|author=Angry Birds|date=January 27, 2011|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pBJ4pidobc|title=Angry Birds Rio Trailer|work=YouTube|accessdate=July 19, 2021}}</ref> With this and seeing all the other caught birds, including two macaws called [[Blu]] and [[Jewel]], the Angry Birds break themselves free from their cage and start to free all the other birds, including Blu and Jewel. It is in this moment when it is revealed that Blu and Jewel are united by handcuffs. Later, the flock, alongside Blu and Jewel, leave the den to go to a jungle nearby. Enraged, Nigel sends his [[Marmosets]] to go after them.
   
  +
Making their way through the jungle and defeating all the Marmosets that try to stop them, the Angry Birds encounter Nigel, although they defeat him. Afterwards, the group is guided by [[Rafael]] to a beach on Rio de Janeiro. There, they find [[Luiz]], who takes the handcuffs out of Blu and Jewel, separating them. Suddenly however, Jewel is kidnapped by Nigel, and the remaining birds go after her. Eventually, during a carnival, the Angry Birds find Jewel and other birds hidden under a chicken-like vehicle that is guarded by [[Mauro]], who is defeated by the flock. Before Blu is able to free his friend however, he is caught by Nigel. With the caught birds, Nigel escapes with the vehicle as the Angry Birds go after them.
−
The game itself is also different from the signature ''Angry Birds'' titles, as the graphics of the Birds and the blocks are enhanced. The initial [[Glass]], [[Wood]], and [[Stone]] blocks appear, alongside new Crates and "Iron Crates".
  
   
  +
Eventually arriving at an airport, the Angry Birds free the caged birds and go aboard an airplane, where they free Blu and Jewel. Later, the flock has a final showdown against Nigel. After being defeated, Nigel tries to leave the plane as the freed birds leave. However, he crashes onto one of the plane's propeller, damaging it, and falls to the ocean. However, the Angry Birds manage to control the plane to go back to Piggy Island. There, [[Foreman Pig]] and a [[Minion Pigs|Minion Pig]] try to steal the eggs, though they leave in panic when they spot the plane. The Angry Birds leave unscratched, happy that the eggs are safe as the two pigs watch behind a bush.
−
The [[Pigs]] are not involved in the game. Instead, the prime enemies and targets are birds locked in cages, [http://angrybirds.wikia.com/wiki/Rio_Characters#Marmosets Marmosets], and [http://angrybirds.wikia.com/wiki/Rio_Characters#Nigel Nigel], whom the latter also serves as ''Rio's'' main antagonist. However, the pigs make a cameo in [[Carnival Upheaval]] as [[Balloons|balloons]] and in the ending scene where they find the eggs.

==Characters==
 +
====Rio 2====
  +
The Angry Birds receive an postcard from Blu and Jewel, inviting them to go to Rio de Janeiro. Accepting to go, the birds put themselves inside a box that is supposed to be sent to the city. Much for their frustration however, they arrive at any location but Rio, even getting to the [[moon]]. There, they fall though the earth's atmosphere, ending up in a location near Rio, for their satisfaction.<ref name="ABRio2Trailer">{{Cite web|author=Angry Birds|date=February 21, 2014|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pBJ4pidobc|title=Return to Angry Birds Rio!|work=YouTube|accessdate=July 19, 2021}}</ref> However, they are soon forced to deal with the hordes of Marmosets in the outsides of the city. Ending up in a harbor, the flock frees the caged birds and dolphins, eventually committing the error of freeing Nigel himself, who was revealed to have survived the past incident, as he laughs maniacally. However, on a river, the birds manage to defeat him and throw him to the waters. Later, the Angry Birds and Blu deal with the remaining Marmosets.

==Opening cutscene==
  
  +
[[File:Angry Birds Rio Playground level 1.jpg|thumb|250px|An example of ''Angry Birds Rio'' gameplay in [[Playground]], the tutorial episode of the game.]]
−
The opening scene for the game begins with a single panel of [[Red Bird|Red]], [[Blue Bird|The Blues]], and [[Yellow Bird|Chuck]] watching over their eggs. The panel is replaced by these birds being captured in a cage, then transported to Rio by smugglers, and then they broke out of their cage (angrily), and proceed to release the caged birds, Blu, and Jewel from their cages.
  
  +
''Angry Birds Rio'' is a puzzle video game with the same gameplay to that from the original ''[[Angry Birds (game)|Angry Birds]]'' game. In the game, the player takes control of a limited group of birds, who can be launched anywhere by the use of a [[slingshot]]. All levels have a series of enemies, who can be either [[Caged Birds|caged birds]] or [[Marmosets]], the player must take down by the use of their characters. These enemies normally appear sheltered inside of structures made of [[wood]], [[glass]], and/or [[stone]], in addition of some additional objects, such as chains and [[TNT]]. If the player fails to kill all the enemies in the levels, they will get a [[Level Failed]] screen, encouraging them to try again. If they manage to do so however, they will win and pass to the next level. Upon completing each level, the player will receive one, two, or three [[star]]s depending on the score received.
   
  +
As with ''Angry Birds'', ''Angry Birds Rio'' is composed on several episodes. Each episode can be unlocked after completing the previous one. Following the release of ''Rio 2'', episodes were divided into two different categories: "Rio" and "Rio 2". The episodes in "Rio" have the sprites from ''[[Angry Birds Chrome]]'' for the birds and have the same mechanics as those from ''Angry Birds''. On the other hand, the episodes in the "Rio 2" category use new sprites, with the birds maintaining their appearances from ''[[Angry Birds Toons]]''. These episodes also feature more mechanics, such as rockets and [[water]]. In addition, the levels from these episodes also have optional hints for the player if they are stuck. Regardless, gameplay in all episodes remains unchanged. In addition, there is also [[Playground]], a tutorial episode that introduces the player to the most basic mechanics of the game.
−
==Ending cutscene==
  
−
When the player finishes all of the episodes and levels, the cut-scene would show all the caged birds flying out of the airplane and Nigel unwittingly caught by the propeller of the plane and turning into a [[corpse]]. Then the plane's engine busts up, causing the plane to fall down. The cut-scene shows that the birds were going to crash on their island before the [[Foreman Pig]] and [[Medium Pig]] claim the eggs. So the plane crashed down but didn't hit the pigs, and the birds were surprised and happy to know that their eggs are safe. However, on the Market Mayhem update, it is possible that the birds realized that the marmosets were still in Rio and that they would travel back to Rio, although there weren't any cut-scenes of clear evidence.
  
   
  +
Episodes in ''Angry Birds Rio'' are composed on several levels, the amount of which varies; the episodes in "Rio" have thirty levels, while the "Rio 2" episodes have twenty levels (though [[Hidden Harbor]] has fifteen levels and [[Treasure Hunt (Angry Birds Rio)|Treasure Hunt]] has forty). In addition, all episodes, except Playground and Hidden Harbor, have six extra, optional bonus levels,<ref>[[Rovio Entertainment]] (March 22, 2011). ''Angry Birds Rio''. Mobile devices. Rovio Entertainment. Area/level: Shop. "'''[[Mighty Eagle]]''': Cause total destruction to obtain feathers and unlock bonus levels"</ref> which can be unlocked by completing certain tasks or by spending [[Coins]].

Like other ''Angry Birds'' games, ''Angry Birds Rio'' makes use of [[Power-Ups|power-ups]], which are optional booster items the player can use to get a temporal advantage to beat the level with more ease. These power-ups are limited and cannot be used if the player runs out of them; to compensate this, ''Angry Birds Rio'' also makes use of Coins, the game's currency, which allow the player to buy more power-ups and unlock bonus levels, amongst others. While Coins can be obtained by collecting stars or by watching ads, the player is also encouraged to use real money to buy more Coins to use in gameplay. However, as the game's servers closed down in 2020, watching ads and using real money to perform purchases is now impossible.

!Description
−
*Angry Birds Rio is the first ''Angry Birds'' iOS game that doesn't use any Pig-related episode titles. The episode titles are similar to [[Utopia]] and the [[Danger Zone]] on ''[[Angry Birds Space|Space]]'' and on ''Angry Birds''; [[Poached Eggs]], [[Mighty Hoax]], [[Danger Above]] and [[The Big Setup]]. However, the reason why the ''Angry Birds Rio'' episodes didn't have Pig-related names was because the Marmosets and the [[Caged Birds]] replaced the Bad Piggies. The only exception would be in the ending [[Cutscenes|cut-scenes]] in the ''Angry Birds Rio'' episode Smuggler's Plane. The [[Foreman Pig]] and [[Medium Pig]] are about the eat the eggs when all of a sudden, the Birds crash and reunite with the eggs, and the [[Bad Piggies]] hide in the shadows. However, ''[[Angry Birds Star Wars|Star Wars]]'' is now the second game without any pig-related episodes because of the ''Star Wars'' license (e.g. Tatooine, Death Star, and Hoth).

*On December 18, 2012, Angry Birds Rio was updated with four new power-ups. the first is Super Seed. The second is the Sling Scope (see ''[[Angry Birds]]''), but with a different icon (has a Marmoset instead of a Pig on the icon). The third is called TNT Drop, similar to the one from the Winter Tournaments. The last is called Samba Burst, exclusive to ''Rio''. This will replace your bird with Red wearing a fruit hat and, once launched and hit an obstacle, will make him dance and destroy more of the structure. Also, 24 new levels were released, along with the Mighty Eagle on Android devices. Some of the levels are unlocked with a certain number of stars on the levels in the episodes each, while others are unlocked by collecting 10 feathers with the Mighty Eagle on each episode.

This article contains information about an abandoned project.
The content of the article or this section may have been discontinued or scrapped during development from the game, or other Angry Birds medias.


This article is about the game. For the location, see Rio (location).

Angry Birds Rio was the third mainline installment of the Angry Birds series. It was developed by Rovio Entertainment and published by the former alongside Fox Digital Entertainment and 20th Century Fox (now 20th Century Studios, a division of The Walt Disney Company), in March 2011 to promote the Rio film. In 2014, it would be updated to promote Rio 2.

As with all remaining Angry Birds games released before Angry Birds Transformers (aside from Angry Birds Friends), Angry Birds Rio was deleted from the App Store and Google Play Store in 2019. In early 2020, the game was officially discontinued and the servers for Angry Birds Rio were closed down. However, the game can still be played as normal except from microtransactions and advertisements being disabled.

It is possible, though unlikely that Angry Birds Rio will return along with other games like Seasons after Rovio said in a Rovio Classics: Angry Birds Facebook reply that it "will be a long shot due to the license".[2]

History

Development

After the announcement of the Rio movie, Rovio Entertainment Corporation partnered with Fox Digital Entertainment, 20th Century Fox (now 20th Century Studios, a division of The Walt Disney Company) and Blue Sky Studios to produce a crossover game to promote it. The game was developed by the original team of the first game and was released on March 22, 2011, the same day as the Brazilian release of the movie.

The game was updated with new content since then. On December 18, 2012, Angry Birds Rio was updated with four new power-ups. the first is the Super Seeds (now the Power Potion). The second is the Sling Scope, but with a different icon (has a marmoset instead of a Minion Pig on the icon). The third is called TNT Drop, similar to the one from the Christmas Tournament in 2012. The last is called Samba Burst, exclusive to Rio. This will replace the bird on the slingshot with Red wearing a fruit hat and, once launched and hit an obstacle, will make him dance and destroy more of the structure. Also, 24 new levels were released, along with the Mighty Eagle on Android devices. Some of the levels are unlocked with a certain number of stars on the levels in the episodes each, while others are unlocked by collecting 10 feathers with the Mighty Eagle on each episode. In 2014, to promote the release of the Rio 2 movie, the game was updated with new episodes based on the movie's story.

Removal from the app stores

As with all remaining Angry Birds games released before Angry Birds Transformers (aside from Angry Birds Friends), Angry Birds Rio was deleted from the App Store and Google Play Store in 2019, but the app still works.

Server Shutdown

On February 3, 2020, along with Angry Birds Star Wars and Angry Birds Star Wars II, the was announced that the game would have its servers shut down due to licensing issues. This means the player can still play the game, but won't receive advertisements or be able to make in-app purchases, and not be able to open the daily gift.

Plot

Storylines

Rio

Angry Birds Rio trailer The birds meet Nigel

The Angry Birds meet Nigel for the first time.

On a normal day on Piggy Island, the Angry Birds are taking care of the eggs as usual. However, they are suddenly caught by a helicopter and taken to a den in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The bird responsible for the kidnapping, Nigel, shows up and reveals that he had caught the Angry Birds to sell them in exchange of one hundred thousand dollars, as they were part of an "exceptionally rare species".[3] With this and seeing all the other caught birds, including two macaws called Blu and Jewel, the Angry Birds break themselves free from their cage and start to free all the other birds, including Blu and Jewel. It is in this moment when it is revealed that Blu and Jewel are united by handcuffs. Later, the flock, alongside Blu and Jewel, leave the den to go to a jungle nearby. Enraged, Nigel sends his Marmosets to go after them.

Making their way through the jungle and defeating all the Marmosets that try to stop them, the Angry Birds encounter Nigel, although they defeat him. Afterwards, the group is guided by Rafael to a beach on Rio de Janeiro. There, they find Luiz, who takes the handcuffs out of Blu and Jewel, separating them. Suddenly however, Jewel is kidnapped by Nigel, and the remaining birds go after her. Eventually, during a carnival, the Angry Birds find Jewel and other birds hidden under a chicken-like vehicle that is guarded by Mauro, who is defeated by the flock. Before Blu is able to free his friend however, he is caught by Nigel. With the caught birds, Nigel escapes with the vehicle as the Angry Birds go after them.

Eventually arriving at an airport, the Angry Birds free the caged birds and go aboard an airplane, where they free Blu and Jewel. Later, the flock has a final showdown against Nigel. After being defeated, Nigel tries to leave the plane as the freed birds leave. However, he crashes onto one of the plane's propeller, damaging it, and falls to the ocean. However, the Angry Birds manage to control the plane to go back to Piggy Island. There, Foreman Pig and a Minion Pig try to steal the eggs, though they leave in panic when they spot the plane. The Angry Birds leave unscratched, happy that the eggs are safe as the two pigs watch behind a bush.

Rio 2

The Angry Birds receive an postcard from Blu and Jewel, inviting them to go to Rio de Janeiro. Accepting to go, the birds put themselves inside a box that is supposed to be sent to the city. Much for their frustration however, they arrive at any location but Rio, even getting to the moon. There, they fall though the earth's atmosphere, ending up in a location near Rio, for their satisfaction.[4] However, they are soon forced to deal with the hordes of Marmosets in the outsides of the city. Ending up in a harbor, the flock frees the caged birds and dolphins, eventually committing the error of freeing Nigel himself, who was revealed to have survived the past incident, as he laughs maniacally. However, on a river, the birds manage to defeat him and throw him to the waters. Later, the Angry Birds and Blu deal with the remaining Marmosets.

Gameplay

Angry Birds Rio Playground level 1

An example of Angry Birds Rio gameplay in Playground, the tutorial episode of the game.

Angry Birds Rio is a puzzle video game with the same gameplay to that from the original Angry Birds game. In the game, the player takes control of a limited group of birds, who can be launched anywhere by the use of a slingshot. All levels have a series of enemies, who can be either caged birds or Marmosets, the player must take down by the use of their characters. These enemies normally appear sheltered inside of structures made of wood, glass, and/or stone, in addition of some additional objects, such as chains and TNT. If the player fails to kill all the enemies in the levels, they will get a Level Failed screen, encouraging them to try again. If they manage to do so however, they will win and pass to the next level. Upon completing each level, the player will receive one, two, or three stars depending on the score received.

As with Angry Birds, Angry Birds Rio is composed on several episodes. Each episode can be unlocked after completing the previous one. Following the release of Rio 2, episodes were divided into two different categories: "Rio" and "Rio 2". The episodes in "Rio" have the sprites from Angry Birds Chrome for the birds and have the same mechanics as those from Angry Birds. On the other hand, the episodes in the "Rio 2" category use new sprites, with the birds maintaining their appearances from Angry Birds Toons. These episodes also feature more mechanics, such as rockets and water. In addition, the levels from these episodes also have optional hints for the player if they are stuck. Regardless, gameplay in all episodes remains unchanged. In addition, there is also Playground, a tutorial episode that introduces the player to the most basic mechanics of the game.

Episodes in Angry Birds Rio are composed on several levels, the amount of which varies; the episodes in "Rio" have thirty levels, while the "Rio 2" episodes have twenty levels (though Hidden Harbor has fifteen levels and Treasure Hunt has forty). In addition, all episodes, except Playground and Hidden Harbor, have six extra, optional bonus levels,[5] which can be unlocked by completing certain tasks or by spending Coins.

Like other Angry Birds games, Angry Birds Rio makes use of power-ups, which are optional booster items the player can use to get a temporal advantage to beat the level with more ease. These power-ups are limited and cannot be used if the player runs out of them; to compensate this, Angry Birds Rio also makes use of Coins, the game's currency, which allow the player to buy more power-ups and unlock bonus levels, amongst others. While Coins can be obtained by collecting stars or by watching ads, the player is also encouraged to use real money to buy more Coins to use in gameplay. However, as the game's servers closed down in 2020, watching ads and using real money to perform purchases is now impossible.

    • They also make an appearance in Timber Tumble as placeholders for Big Boss and his henchmen from the film.
  • The only caged bird spotted during the events of High Dive was Nigel.
    • Also, no caged Amazon River Dolphin is seen in the movie.
  • Nigel's henchmen, Gabi and Charlie do not appear in the game.
  • Many bird characters who live in the Amazon in the movie are absent in the game, but make a cameo in Blu's Call The Flock power-up ability such as Felipe.
  • The Spix's Macaw Family except for Blu and Jewel themselves (Carla, Bia, Tiago, Eduardo, and Mimi) do not appear in the game, while they are main characters in the movie.

Trivia

  • Before the menu music was changed for Rio 2, when the music was about six seconds in, Red and Blu would start listening to it and bouncing as if they were dancing to the beat.
  • Angry Birds Rio was the first Angry Birds iOS game that does not make use of pig puns in episode titles.
  • Angry Birds Rio was the first crossover Angry Birds game, being a crossover with Rio; the second is Angry Birds Star Wars, a crossover with the Star Wars original trilogy; the third is Angry Birds Star Wars II, another crossover with the Star Wars prequel trilogy; and the fourth is Angry Birds Transformers, a crossover with the Transformers series.
  • In the "Rio 2" segment, birds do not have blinking animations like in the "Rio" one.
  • Strangely, some artwork for the game have the birds in their pre-Chrome designs when they never have them in this game.

Honestly, AB Star Wars will be a long shot due to the license, and Epic and GO! weren’t premium slingshot titles, so will need a more thorough evaluation.
