Angryverse/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 8 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 Blu and Jewel, the protagonists from Rio, while returning to their homeland.

The opening scene for the game begins with a single panel of Red, The Blues, 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.

When the player finishes the last episode, Smugglers' Plane, 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 losing all his feathers. 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.

They then go again to Rio De Janeiro to commemorate New Year and then the Amazons to help Blue fight Nigel, and again they defeat him and go back to their homeland.

Gameplay
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.

Discontinuation
On February 3, 2020, it was announced that the game would be discontinued along with Angry Birds Star Wars and Angry Birds Star Wars II, possibly due to licensing issues because the studio who made the Rio movies, Blue Sky Studios, a subsidiary of 20th Century Studios, has been bought by The Walt Disney Company.
