Power-Ups

The Power-Up is a subject that appears in the Angry Birds series. It is an item that the player can use to get a temporal advantage in the levels.

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:

The player can also obtain all these power-ups in a bundle. Its costs in the shop are as follows:

In Star Cup, an extra power-up, known as the TNT Drop, also appears. It cannot be obtained normally, though it can be used for free once if the game allows the player to do so.

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.

Angry Birds (game)
In the original Angry Birds, power-ups are optional items the player can obtain in the shop or by opening eggs in The Mighty League. They can also use them in certain levels in Tutorial, which introduce them to the power-ups. The player can get the Sling Scope power-up by watching an ad, and when they use it, the power-up will be used by default when they start a level for the next five minutes.

The power-ups that appear in the game are as follows:

The Chinese version of Angry Birds also makes use of the Double Score, which can only be obtained through bundles or deals.

The 2022 re-release of Angry Birds will not include power-ups due to the re-release being a premium experience, meaning all advertisements and in-app purchases will be removed.

Bad Piggies
In Bad Piggies, Power-Ups can be used to make the player's vehicle much more effective. They can be obtained by opening Loot Crates, by feeding King Pig in the Dessert Mode, or by buying them at the shop.

The Power-Ups that appear in the game are the follows:

Angry Birds Seasons
In Angry Birds Seasons, Power-Ups (spelled as powerups) have the same functions as those in Angry Birds Friends. Unlike in past games, powerups can only be used once per level. In Power-Up Test Site, the player will be able to use powerups for free. Powerups can be obtained by buying them at the shop or by popping pigs with gifts.

The costs of the powerups at the shop are as follows:

In addition of these two powerups, there are also two "Powerbirds", which are birds with special abilities, which will be upgraded by each use. The Powerbirds that appear are the following:

Angry Birds Go!

 * King Sling (ABGKingSling.png): 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. It is also not sponsored.
 * Kart Repair (ABGO KartRepair.png): Prior to the 2015 update (v1.6.2), 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 (ABGKartRepair.png). As of the 2015 update (v1.6.2) of Angry Birds Go!, when this Power-Up is activated, the player's kart will automatically be repaired whenever his/her kart is damaged. Lines will appear as the kart is repaired. Like the King Sling and the Leaf Blower, the Kart Repair is not a sponsored Power-Up.
 * Boost (ABGBoost.png): Prior to the July 2014 update (v1.4.0), 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.
 * Leaf Blower (LeafBlower.png): This Power-Up replaced the Boost Power-Up during the July 2014 update. When this Power-Up is activated, a metal fan will appear on the player's kart, which spouts out leaves as it moves. This fan allows the player's kart to accelerate much faster, as well as increasing its speed. Like the King Sling, the Leaf Blower is not a sponsored Power-Up.
 * Target (ABGTarget.png): 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 (TurboKart.png): 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. 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.
