The in-game icon for the mode
Golden King Pig is an Easter egg in the original Angry Birds. The feature, first introduced for iPad users in August 2012, is located in the Golden Eggs section. To unlock it, three stars must be obtained in all levels from Poached Eggs to the second cake of Birdday Party. Golden King Pig places the player in a randomly-selected level with a gameplay twist, such as materials swapped.
Golden King Pig is only available for the iOS, Android, PC, and Blackberry Playbook's QNX versions of Angry Birds, as well as Angry Birds Free HD in version 1.4.1. It was first introduced to the iPad version in the 2.2.0 update on August 2, 2012, alongside the second part of Surf and Turf;[1] the mode was added to the other versions with the 2.3.0 update on October 9, alongside the Bad Piggies episode and the conclusion to Surf and Turf.[2] In Angry Birds Time Travel, Golden King Pig is featured as a Daily Challenge and works the same way but is unlocked differently.[citation needed]
The four modes of Golden King Pig. Clockwise from top left: King Pig, Material Mix-up, Bird Frenzy, and Total Destruction.
When selected, Golden King Pig places the player in a randomly-selected level from Poached Eggs up to Birdday Party; unlocked levels from Surf and Turf and the first theme of Bad Piggies may also be selected. The level has the normal layout, but with a gameplay twist. Scores, stars, the Mighty Eagle, and power-ups are all disabled. The minigames in Golden King Pig are as follows:
Material Mix-Up: In this minigame, two materials are swapped–for example, stone for glass, and viceversa–making the level easier or harder to beat.
Bird Frenzy: Here, instead of being given a specific bird roster, the player is given an indefinite amount of randomly-selected birds. They also have a time limit of 30 to 60 seconds to beat the level. This way, levels can be completed with birds that are not available in the originals, like Bubbles in Mighty Hoax or Chuck in The Big Setup. Neither the Mighty Eagle, Mighty Feathers Red, nor Shockwave are among the birds the player may receive in this minigame.
Total Destruction!: Here, the birds are disabled; instead, the player has 10 seconds to pop the pigs by tapping anywhere on the screen to cause an explosion.
Success in the King Pig mode, or failure in the others, results in King Pig laughing in the results screen; the opposite shows him crying. However, the player is not granted any reward after either outcome.
Trivia[]
In King Pig mode, all of the pigs make the same launch noises, tap noises (battle cry, even when using a pig with an ability), and pain noises. Their victory sounds are the same ones that are normally heard when a level is failed. If the player loses a level in the King Pig mode, the sound of just a "sad" pig snort (the same one from the cutscenes) is heard.
The prototype sprite sheet contains an unused mode title called "Pigs Do Fly", but its gameplay is unknown. The sprite sheet for Golden King Pig also contains early mode title designs; slightly different designs of King Pig, Small Pig, and Jetpack Pig; and unused white "5000" and green "10000" sprites for the eggs and pigs respectively.
There are also unused language titles for each game mode. Despite changing the language, the captions below the mode name still render in the language set for the device, but the mode titles are still defaulted to English.
