- This article is about the episode in Angry Birds Space. For the episode in Angry Birds Reloaded, see Brass Hogs (Reloaded).
Brass Hogs is the 9th episode of Angry Birds Space. It was first announced on January 13, 2015, and then released on January 21, 2015, for all devices. This episode introduces a new villain, Hektor Porko and a new bird, Space Wingman with a brand new suck-up ability. This episode also introduces a new gameplay element, the steam blower, with the same ability as the lava in the Red Planet episode.
The episode select screen was revamped in this update, now showing a carousel styled menu around a sun, resembling a solar system. The previous episodes have also had their planets redesigned, and the main menu background no longer changes to the most recent episode you have played.
Daily Missions[]
This episode is unique from others as it requires the player to complete Daily Missions to unlock the levels. Each Daily Missions has different points to be collected ranging from 1 = Easy, 2 = Medium, 3 = Hard and 10 = Very Hard. There are 3 missions each day. Every time a mission is completed, the next one will appear after approximately 16 hours, or if the mission was too hard, the player may remove it and get a new one in 30 minutes. As the levels are unlocked, the player may choose which level they are going to play first, as unlocking further levels does not require the completion of the previous level.
The Daily Missions are the following:
- Unlock [Bird]
- Go to Mirror World
- Defeat King Pig
- Finish Level # of [Episode]
- Finish Level # of [Episode] in Mirror World
- Hit # [Objects].
- Pop # Pigs

Trivia[]
- This is the first Angry Birds update in 2015.
- The gap of release dates between this episode and the previous episode is approximately 7 months.
- This is the only episode in Angry Birds Space to have 3 cutscenes.
- Unlike most previous episodes, Ice Bird is totally absent.
- Solar System continues this trend, making Beak Impact the final episode where Ice Bird appears (excluding Danger Zone).
- This episode doesn't feature any Space Eggs and Sardine Can bonus levels as well as Eggsteroid.
- The opening cutscene features Hektor Porko as the main antagonist, but in boss level and ending cutscene, King Pig replaces him. It is likely that Porko escaped to the Mirror Worlds during the 9-2 cutscene.
- The Reloaded version of Brass Hogs fixes this by replacing Porko with Leonard in the opening cutscene, who also replaces the King Pig everywhere else.
- This is the last official episode that was released on PC (Steam) as well as any Angry Birds PC versions, despite being discontinued on November 13, 2014.
- The opening cutscene and the 9-2 cutscene both reuse the sounds from Pig Dipper.
- The ending cutscene additionally uses King Pig's laugh sound like Beak Impact, unlike most other episodes which use the level complete sound.
- This is the only episode where the final cutscene gets unlocked before beating the final level, instead unlocking when the final level gets unlocked.
- Unlike other cutscenes in the game, the 9-2 cutscene doesn't show up on the level select screen, and can only be played by beating its preceding level.
