Storyline
The following is from The World of Angry Birds Official Guide, as told by the Mighty Eagle:
FLOWER POWER
I had just got back from my travels when the alarm went up again. The eggs had been snatched while the birds were enjoying the Cherry Blossom Festival. Grrrrrr. Those pigs! Life on Piggy Island is usually a bowl of cherries, but this is the pits.
Golden Eggs
- There is a Golden Egg with three petals in Level 1-15. You must zoom out on the far right. Use a Bomb Bird to throw stones toward the Egg.
- Earning 3 stars on all levels unlocks the Big Fan Golden Egg.
Sakura Ninja (Angry Birds Fuji TV)
Just like Cherry Blossom, it is based on the same background and concept. Sakura Ninja is on Google Chrome extra. Instead of having no clothes, the birds are wearing all different types of costumes from Japan. The levels are different from Cherry Blossom.
For further information about Sakura Ninja look at the main page of Sakura Ninja.
