Game appearances[]
Angry Birds Friends[]
In Angry Birds Friends, the Power-Ups (spelled as Power-Ups) make their first appearance as optional booster items the player can use to get an advantage in the levels. However, Power-Ups are limited and cannot be used if the player runs out of them. To compense this, the player can use Bird Coins to buy them at the shop. In addition, Power-Ups can be obtained by watching ads, getting rewards, and spinning the roulette.
The Power-Ups that appear in the game are the following:
Icon | Power-Up | Costs (in Bird Coins) | ||||

Several tournaments have unique Power-Ups that can be used in them. The 2012 Winter Tournament, for example, had the Santa Bomb Power-Up. Similarly, the Halloween Mania Tournament made use of the Pumpkin Drop. Also, during the Bird Switcher tournament, if the player gets two stars in a Tournament level, they will be able to use the Bird Switcher.

In the original Angry Birds, Power-Ups are optional items the player can obtain in the shop or by opening eggs.

- Leaf Blower (): This Power-Up replaced the Boost Power-Up during the July 2014 update.

- Target (): Prior to the 2015 update (v1.6.2), when this Power-Up is activated, the player is given a kart that looks very much like Kyle Larson's NASCAR. This kart has Target logos on it. This kart has a high top speed and accelerates very fast, however, much like with every other Power-Up, it can only be used in that particular race and will not appear as an available kart to drive in the game. As mentioned, this Power-Up is sponsored by Target.
- Turbo Kart (): This Power-Up replaced the Target Kart Power-Up during the 2015 update (v1.6.0). When this Power-Up is activated, the player is given a kart that looks very much like Kyle Larson's NASCAR. This kart has lightning bolts on the front and the word "Turbo" on the back.
