Power-Ups are a feature of the game introduced in Angry Birds Friends and has since been incorporated into most of the Angry Birds games.

They are a set of items that the player can use to augment the Birds and make clearing levels and earning three stars easier.

The power-ups act the same in all versions of the game. Players receive a small number of each one the first time they start the game with this feature in place. They can also be purchased through the appropriate marketplaces or they may receive periodic random power-ups through a slot machine for free. Players can also set the computer date to another day as many times as they want, and since the reward is daily, it will give you a power-up.

Power Ups then started to arrive in more games like the Facebook version of Angry Birds Star Wars, Angry Birds Rio, Angry Birds Space, Angry Birds Seasons And Angry Birds Star Wars in that order.

Angry Birds Friends, Angry Birds, Angry Birds Rio, and Angry Birds Seasons

Sling Scope

Using the Sling Scope produces a visible arc trail with which the player can aim the slingshot more accurately. Note that the Scope will only project a bird's initial arcing path, not any alterations that may result from using a bird's powers. Once activated, the Sling Scope remains in place for the rest of the level. Sling Scope is also used in Angry Birds Space and Angry Birds Star Wars, but as a standard feature to compensate for the difficulty of plotting flight trajectories in those game. Sling Scopes appear less often in the Daily Reward. 

Power Potion

Power Potion causes the current bird in the slingshot to grow larger and much more powerful: capable of defeating more and stronger walls before losing energy. It's the biggest flaw is that it only causes the current bird in the slingshot to grow larger and not all the birds in the level. Power Potion pops up the least in the Daily Awards.

(Note: It does not matter which bird is in the slingshot when you press Power Potion.)

Exclusive to Angry Birds Friends, Angry Birds, and Angry Birds Go!

Birdquake

The Birdquake is a power up that causes the ground to shake. Weak supporting walls will collapse by this quake and if it was the only walls to support the structure, may result in most of the structure collapsing as well. Birdquakes appear often in the Daily Reward. Birdquakes can be used anytime even if there are no Birds remaning.

King Sling

The King Sling is a metal slingshot with stronger rubber bands that provide a lot more power for bird launches, allowing them to fly further and faster. Once activated, the King Sling remains in place for the rest of the level. The King Sling is the most common power up that pops up in the daily rewards.

Exclusive to Angry Birds Rio only

Samba Burst

Turns the current bird on the Slingshot into a Samba Bird. He dances around the place, causing objects to scatter around. To use this bird, simply tap the power up button and tap the icon of Samba Bird. No matter what bird is in the Slingshot, Samba Bird will always look like Red. When launching him from the Slingshot, he also makes the same sound as Red. After Samba Bird hits a block, he starts to shake multiple times in the place he hit the block, causing powerful damage. Also, when Samba Bird is in use, a Samba style music begins to play. Also, he is happy. (But his corpse sprite is grumpy.)

Formerly exclusive to Angry Birds Friends but it is exclusive to Angry Birds Seasons and Angry Birds Rio

TNT Drop /Energy TNT/Allaka-BAM

This power up has similar capabilities, but sometimes, the power up acts in different ways.

In Angry Birds Rio TNT crates appear in random areas near the structure, fortified with metal to temporarily prevent the crates from exploding. If the structure is not stable, the TNT crates will fall with a parachute. Once the TNT crates lose their metallic fortifications, when a bird hits one of them, it causes more destruction to the structure.

In the Angry Birds Friends Winter Tournaments, TNT crates are wrapped like christmas presents to prevent explosions temporarily and will fall from the sky slowly, courtesy of the parachutes. Once unwrapped, the same explosive effects will result like in Angry Birds Rio.

In Angry Birds Seasons, this will put magic around the structure that will act like the TNT Drop, only they detonate with magic.

This power-up is exclusive and was available for a limited time in the Angry Birds Friends Winter Tournaments, but it is permanent in Angry Birds Rio and Angry Birds Seasons. In addition having similar & different effects, the power up has different names. In Angry Birds Rio, the power up is called, "TNT Drop". But in the Angry Birds Friends Winter Tournaments, the power up is called, "Energy TNT", and in Angry Birds Seasons, it is called "Allaka-BAM".

Exclusive to Angry Birds Seasons only

Homing Bird

This power up replaces your current bird with a Homing Bird, who wears an antenna on his head, which happens to be a radar homing system. When launched, the Homing Bird will change its trajectory upon detecting the first pig on its radar. No matter what bird is in the Slingshot, Homing Bird will always look like Red.

Allaka-BAM

This brand new power-up creates explosives around places where the Pigs are located giving the Birds the chance to destroy them completely.

Exclusive to Angry Birds Space only

Flock of Birds

This multiplies your current bird by 5, with one staying the same and 4 smaller copies. Flock of Birds appear the most often in the Daily Reward. The Flock of Birds can also be used with the Space Egg, making this a capability to use a fusion of 2 different power ups.

Space Egg

Use its vortex to pull many objects. Was formerly a character used in Space Egg Bonus Levels (unlimited use), but is now used in normal levels as well as a Power Ups (limited use). Space Eggs can also be used with the Flock of Birds, making this a capability to use a fusion of 2 different power ups.

Pig Puffer

This inflates the pigs, causing some the structure to become unstable. The inflated pigs rise when underwater in Pig Dipper. Comically,if used on Corporal Pig,helmet ham's bucket comes straight off! This power-up is perfect then lot's of pigs are inside buildings, makes then go down before any bird touches it.

Exclusive to Angry Birds Star Wars only (Original App AND Facebook)

Mighty Falcon

You will be given an egg with a tracking beacon installed. Launch and activate the egg beacon and the Mighty Falcon will swoop down and fire consecutive lasers at the targeted position. Use these to earn a Total Destruction medal. Unlike the Mighty Eagle, it will not despawn pigs automatically.

It can be used several times in a level unlike the Mighty Eagle. It will also replace the bird on the slingshot.

Thermal Detonator

The thermal detonator will be given to the current bird on the slingshot. Once the bird hits an obstacle, the detonator will stick and will release a heat wave destroying anything in its blast radius.

Lightsaber Sling

This is the slingshot that you normally see in merchandise. When used, the slingshot will transform into this special Lightsaber upgrade, giving all of your birds increased speed and mass, in a similar fashion to King Sling. In Angry Birds Star Wars II, the Lightsaber Sling is seen again, but it has no effect on the birds and pigs.

Blaster Droid

When this is used, your current bird shall receive a blaster droid that blasts lasers when your bird is launched. It functions like Chuck "Ham" Solo's laser blaster ability, except it shoots consecutive times until it is destroyed. In the original app, the Blaster Droid fires lasers much faster.

Clone Bird

This generates a clone of the current bird in the Slingshot, or the bird that was used last. This is useful when you're about to fail a level and run out of birds. It is similar like the Wingman and other characters from Angry Birds Friends's Tournaments.

Exclusive to Angry Birds Friends only

Mush-Bloom

This power enables to bloom magenta colored mushrooms in mutilple areas of the Bad Piggies' fortresses, causing the fortress to become less stable and, sometimes, popping the Piggies in the process. Currently, this is available in Angry Birds Friends to be used EXCLUSIVELY in the new episode, "Pig Tales", only.

Wingman

Wingman is a bird that is used in the Tournaments. No matter what bird is in the Slingshot, The bird that will appear is Terrence. However, Terrence is dressed up as a Super Hero. (or wrestler)

Wingman Tournament update: You can use Wingman in all levels in Angry Birds Friends.

Exclusive to Bad Piggies only

Super Glue

This power-up allows to make your vehicle indestructible so it can never break even from a high distance.

Turbo Charge

This allows you to double your engine power but this is only useful for engine used contraptions to pass the time limit.

Magnets

These allow you to collect all cakes and stars in the level making it very useful especially in Sandbox levels.

Super Mechanic Pig

This power-up automatically builds you 3 star contraptions whereas a Mechanic Pig will only give you a simple one that doesn't always give you 3 stars unlike the Super Mechanic Pig. Cannot be used in any sandbox level.

Exclusive to Angry Birds Go! only

Kart Repair

This power-up can make your kart work easily and it repairs even if it have damage after the destruction of it. If your kart has damaged, after a second, it repairs by showing off the tools needed for rebuilding. This power-up was sponsored by State Farm®.

Boost

This power-up also can make your kart more speed and faster riding. In the the back part of your kart, it shows the fishes flowing outside that increases speed. Before you launch the kart, above of it appears as Golden Fish of this power-up. This power-up was sponsored by Finn & Friends™.

Target® Kart

This power-up can make your kart have all star stats and make your kart a Target® Kart (by appearance). In the start of the whole game you are given 10 instead of 20.

Controversy

Power-ups have caused controversy among fans of Angry Birds, feeling that they take away from the integrity of high scores. Rovio is aware of the issue, but has only managed to add distinct power-up scores to Angry Birds Space, Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds Star Wars thus far. According to Peter Vesterbacka, this is because Apple imposes a restriction on the number of leaderboards.[1]

Trivia

  • There was supposed to be another power-up that would make Egg Bombs with parachutes fall from the sky, but Rovio cut that idea, probably because it resembled the White Bird's ability too much. However, most say this power-up was a early version of the TNT Drop, The Energy TNT And Allaka-BAM.
  • The power-up ''Allaka-BAM'' is mostly like the regular TNT's but produces magic upon contact.
  • Homing Bird is a pun on the hummingbird, a type of bird in real life.
  • Birdquake is a pun on "earthquake", a natural calamity.
