Angry Birds Go!

Angry Birds Go! is a kart racing game based on the original game. It is the first 3D Angry Birds game but this the fourth game you can play as pigs, the third being Angry Birds Star Wars II, the second being Bad Piggies and the first being Angry Birds (King Pig Mode). The game involves downhill racing, with upgrade-able vehicles and character-specific powers. The game also uses the Telepods like Angry Birds Star Wars II, as in karts that can be 'teleported' into the game.

It is the seventh installment of Angry Birds, and was released on November 26, 2013 in New Zealand, one day following in Australia, and on December 11, 2013 worldwide. A countdown app was released on October 31st, to see it go to Angry Birds GO! countdown app.

Plot
The story starts when the pigs are ready to race on the Piggy Island, while the birds are looking down on them. The Chronicler Pig is making the prizes. The third place will win shoes, the second will win an apple, and the winner will win a big cake. The birds then jump down and join the race with the pigs.

In Angry Birds Go!, you race as against pigs as Red, and recruit characters for your team. Your racers will get tired after playing five races, so you have to let them recharge. Your karts go through three stages: Bronze, Silver and Gold. To get to these stages, max out all upgrades for your kart. Once you do, you will get an all new kart every time you max out the upgrades.

Special Powers
Each of the characters has different special powers.
 * Red: Uses a speed boost.
 * Stella: Covers herself with a big pink bubble that protects her from any possible damage and swoops coins and fruits within its radius.
 * Bomb: Blows himself up, spinning out nearby racers and damaging their karts. His own kart is not affected by the blast.
 * The Blues: Use a mini speed boost, up to three times. Three of these boosts combined are equal to Red's single boost.
 * King Pig: Rapidly flies over the track with his balloons. While flying, you don't need to steer, but you can't collect coins or splat fruits.
 * Terence: Creates storms that shock and spin out nearby racers. The storm appears to be weaker than Bomb's explosion.
 * Bubbles: Expands to a huge size, speeds up while rolling with his inflated body, and swoops coins and fruits.
 * Matilda: Throws an egg bomb to racers in front of her. When this egg bomb it explodes, it will spin-out any racers nearby.
 * Foreman Pig: Throws TNT Dynamites to racers in front of him, which can be used up to three times. Its only disadvantage is its short range, but if a TNT Dynamite blows up near a racer, they will spin out.
 * Hal: Creates a tornado that spins out racers in front of him. The tornado can also collect coins or splat fruits for you and destroy TNT crates and blocks that are on your way.
 * Corporal Pig: Uses his helmet as a shield, spinning around him. The helmet also speeds up your kart and can be used to spin out nearby racers which can use this up to three times, at once or in separate times, and each helmet lasts for 15 seconds.
 * Chuck: Uses a mega speed boost. While doing so, time slows down, thus giving the player more reaction time on the track.

Modes
Race - A classic race with seven other racers. To pass this event, finish in the top 3.

Time Boom - Dodge obstacles and get to the finish line before the time-bomb explodes.

Fruit Splat - Race against minion pigs and splat the fruits until the bar is empty. Sub Zero has a counterpart of this called "Ice Splat", where players splat fruit-flavored desserts rather than the fruits themselves.

Versus - A race with a single opponent. To pass, simply finish the race before they do. In this event, you can choose between Easy, Medium, and Hard. The harder the difficulty, the more coins you earn.

Champion Chase - A duel with a new racer in a track. Beat them 3 times to recruit them.

Slalom - A combination of Time Boom and Fruit Splat where players need to get through the gates before the time runs, but mainly just finish the race in a time limit. But beware, missing a gate will make the game spawn 5 TNT's in front of the player. This is inspired by slalom skiing.

Items
Coins : Coins are the main in-game currency. They appear as small gold coins with Red's face on them. They appear in every track and can be collected to increase the amount of awarded coins when finishing a race. They are mainly used to purchase upgrades for the player's karts, but once the player unlocks Rocky Road, they can also be used to purchase new karts as well.

Gems : Gems are the premium in-game currency that are used to purchase new karts or extra uses of special powers. They appear as small, hexagonal, shiny blue gems. Though they are awarded to the player for completing Champion Chase or certain daily events, they can also be found on race tracks, usually in between a line of coins. As many as two gems can appear on one track, however, unlike coins, gems do not always appear every time a race is started.

Coin Doubler : As of the March 2014 update for Angry Birds Go!, Coin Doublers appear on race tracks on rare occasions, in the form of large red medals with a Coin icon on them. If collected, the player will receive twice as many awarded coins when he/she completes the race in question. This will give the player a chance to feel the gameplay of the game as if the Coin Doubler power-up is purchased via IAP. It makes a rubber duck noise when collected.

Lucky Boxes:As of the May 2014 update of Angry Birds Go!, Lucky Boxes appear on race tracks even rarer than coin doublers,they appear in the form of a gift box with a big red bow on top,if collected, the player will recieve a random amount of coins,gems or maybe even bonus power-ups,it can also be sent or recieved via the new mailbox feature added in V.1.3.0.

Power-Ups
King Sling : When this Power-Up is activated, the slingshot will become a large, gray, more advanced version of the normal slingshot. When the player takes off from the King Sling, they will be propelled very far, very similar to a headstart. This is the only returning Power-Up in this game, for the King Sling also appears as a Power-Up in Angry Birds.

Kart Repair : When this Power-Up is activated, the player's kart will automatically be repaired whenever his/her kart is damaged. State Farm lines will appear as the kart is repaired. As mentioned, this Power-Up is sponsored by State Farm.

Boost : When this Power-Up is activated, a yellow nitrous pipe will appear on the player's kart, which spouts out Goldfish as it moves. This pipe allows the player's kart to accelerate much faster, as well as increasing its top speed. As mentioned, this Power-Up is sponsored by Finn & Friends.

Target : When this Power-Up is activated, the player is given a kart that looks very much like a poorly designed version of 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.

Prices
Prior to the March 2014 update, power-ups were purchased with coins. But with the update, you must now buy them with gems instead.

 * On the cover of the Jenga tower knockdown game, if you look closely, you can see the Pirate Pig Attack game. This also happens with the Trophy Cup Challenge game.
 * CC in real life stands for Cubic Centimeter, but according to Mechanic Pig, it stands for Cake Capacity.
 * The letter "L" next to the kart names denotes the Level of the kart.
 * This is the first Angry Birds game to be played in a 3D perspective, as well as the first to feature three-dimensional CGI graphics.
 * This is the second free full game, the first one being Angry Birds Rio.
 * The game gives you the option to steer by tilting or touching.
 * Just like the original game, you can use sponsored power-ups in this game.
 * You can play Jenga's Pirate Pig Attack mode in this game by touching the Jenga button below the selection screen. To play it, you must enter the code which is in the Pirate Pig Attack toy.
 * When the player finishes all brackets in a mode, the challenges will be available in that mode. Completing challenges will reward you gems.
