Angry Birds Rio

Angry Birds Rio is a special edition of Angry Birds, released as a tie-in with the 2011 animated film Rio. Angry Birds Rio includes 7 episodes, each with 30 levels and a bonus episode consisting of 30 levels. Each are set in the city of Rio de Janeiro.

The tablet version is called Angry Birds Rio HD, and features a higher resolution.

Plot
The game's storyline is loosely based off of the film Rio. The plot focuses on the signature Bird characters (including Blu and Jewel), who are captured from their world by evil poachers and taken to Rio de Janeiro (located in Brazil), placed in a room alongside other captured birds from the Rio universe. The Angry Birds birds then get mad (despite the title), break out of their cage and proceed to rescue the other birds, plus Blue and Jewel, the protagonists from Rio, while returning to their homeland.

The game itself is also different from the signature Angry Birds titles, as the graphics of the Birds and the blocks are enhanced. The initial Glass, Wood, and Stone blocks appear, alongside new Crates and "Iron Crates".

The Pigs are not involved in the game. Instead, the prime enemies and targets are birds locked in cages, Marmosets and Nigel, whom the latter also serves as Rio's main antagonist. However, the pigs make a cameo in Carnival Upheaval as balloons and in the ending scene where they find the eggs.

Opening Cut-scene
The opening scene for the game begins with a single panel of Red, Blue Jay, and Chuck watching over their eggs. The panel is replaced by these birds being captured in a cage, then transported to Rio by smugglers, and then they broke out of their cage (angrily), and proceed to release the caged birds, Blu and Jewel from their cages.

Ending Cut-scene
When the player finishes all of the episodes and levels, the cut-scene would show all the caged birds flying out of the airplane and Nigel unwittingly caught by the propeller of the plane and turning into a corpse. Then the plane's engine busts up, causing the plane to fall down. The cut-scene shows that the birds were going to crash on their island before the Foreman Pig and Medium Pig claim the eggs. So the plane crashed down, but didn't hit the pigs, and the birds were surprised and happy to know that their eggs are safe. However, on the Market Mayhem update, it is possible that the birds realized that the marmosets were still in Rio, and that they would travel back to Rio, although there wasn't any cut-scenes that clear evidence.

Trivia

 * On the title screen, when the music raises higher, Red and Blu start listening to it and move up and down as if they're dancing to the beat.
 * In the Angry Birds Rio Nigel Mashup Video, all the birds except for Bubbles and Stella were caged. Also, in the video, Al and Matilda were in their original game sprites.
 * Bubbles and Stella were not introduced to the flock when this game was released. (Although Bubbles and Stella are in the game now.)
 * On the icon, it shows the way Red opens his mouth from Classic and Seasons. But in the actual game, the way Red opens his mouth is the Chrome version.
 * Angry Birds Rio is the first Angry Birds iOS game that doesn't use any Pig-related episode titles. The episode titles are similar to Utopia and the Danger Zone on Angry Birds Space and on Angry Birds; Poached Eggs, Mighty Hoax, Danger Above and The Big Setup. However, the reason why the Angry Birds Rio episodes didn't have Pig-related names was because the Marmosets and the Caged Birds replaced the Bad Piggies. The only exception would be in the ending cut-scenes in the Angry Birds Rio episode Smuggler's Plane. The Foreman Pig and Medium Pig are about the eat the eggs when all of a sudden, the Birds crash and reunite with the eggs, and the Bad Piggies hide in the shadows. However, Angry Birds Star Wars is now the second game without any pig-related episodes because of the Star Wars licence (e.g. Tatooine, Death Star and Hoth).
 * After Smuggler's Plane, it is said by Rovio that it is not the end of Angry Birds Rio. Rovio mentioned that new levels based on deleted scenes and extras from the Rio movie will someday be created.
 * At the end of Carnival Upheaval, Blu gets captured by Nigel. However, Blu still appears occasionally in subsequent levels.
 * When you complete a level, the words above the stars said Level Completed!  instead of Level Cleared!.PNG. This was fixed in the 1.7.0 version, and now says Level Cleared!.PNG, and the New Highscore format has changed to Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons formats with bolder letters, and now it shows a very happy Red Bird.
 * In Carnival Upheaval, some balloons look like Bad Piggies.
 * On December 18th, 2012, Angry Birds Rio was updated with four new power-ups. the first is Super Seed. The second is the Sling Scope (see Angry Birds), but with a different icon (has a Marmoset instead of a Pig on the icon). The third is called TNT Drop, similar to the one from the Winter Tournaments. The last is called Samba Burst, exclusive to Rio. This will replace your bird with a Red Bird wearing a fruit hat and, once launched and hit an obstacle, will make it dance and destroy more of the structure. Also, 24 new levels were released, along with the Mighty Eagle on Android devices. Some of the levels are unlocked with a certain number of stars on the levels in the episodes each, while others are unlocked by collecting 10 feathers with the Mighty Eagle on each episode.
 * Angry Birds Rio is the first crossover Angry Birds game, as being a crossover with Rio. The second is Angry Birds Star Wars, a crossover with Star Wars.
 * After the 1.7.0 update, the game is now free, and Angry Birds Rio Free and Angry Birds Rio Free HD had been deleted.
 * This game introduces many "firsts". It is the first game where the birds no longer attack pigs. It's the first game to introduce moving bosses. It was also the second game to have the characters in their Angry Birds Toons sprites during their Rio 2 update.
