Gameplay
In Angry Birds Go!, there are various racing modes and many characters to race with and against. There are 13 playable characters in the game (the list is below). The very first character that you get to race with is Red. You can recruit more characters by completing events. Each event has a required CC (cake capacity), so make sure you increase your kart's CC by upgrading it. Each racer has cupcakes which show you how many races that character can participate in. Each character has a maximum of 5 cupcakes, and the current time needed for a cupcake to appear is 77 minutes. You can also spend some gems or watch videos to fill up the cupcakes of a character. Karts go through three stages: Bronze, Silver and Gold. To get to these stages, max out all upgrades for your kart. Four upgrades are: Top Speed, Acceleration , Handling , and Strength. Once you do, you will get an all new kart every time you max out the upgrades. If you have maxed out all the upgrades for a Gold cart, it will stay the same but there will be an icon next to the stats that you have maxed out.

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. When the player empties all the fruits on the bar, the fruits on the track change into coins.
 * 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. Defeat 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 boxes in front of the player and reduce the time you have left. This is inspired by slalom skiing.

Items

 * Coins (Bird_Coins.png): 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 (Gem.png): 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, winning the Weekly Tournament, they can also be found in all tracks regardless of the game mode. As many as three gems can appear on one track, however, unlike coins, gems do not always appear every time a race is started.
 * Coin Doubler (Coin Doubler.png): As of the March 2014 update (v1.2.0) 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. Unfortunately, the Coin Doubler no longer appears in races (since v1.3.0 came out) because it's been replaced with Lucky Boxes but it is still available as an in-app purchase.
 * Lucky Boxes (LuckyBoxes.png): As of the May 2014 update (v1.3.0) of Angry Birds Go!, Lucky Boxes appear in race tracks in the form of a gift box with a big red bow on top. If collected, the player will receive one of the following: a random amount of coins, a random amount of gems, a power-up, a free kart upgrade, a free cupcake refill, a free challenge skip and a free extra use of a special power. If you rack up the most points in a Weekly Tournament, you get a special type of Lucky Box. This Lucky Box is just like the one you can collect in a race, except this one also has a chance to reward you with a kart. They can also be sent or received via the mailbox feature which came along. Lucky Boxes can only be found when racing in an episode - they can't be found in Daily Events and Weekly Tournament levels. As of the July 2014 update (v1.4.0) of Angry Birds Go!, the player can also win Lucky Boxes by winning 1st place 5 times in Multiplayer, but the player is unable to share them with friends.

Power-Ups

 * 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, 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 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, 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, 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.
 * 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 a poorly designed version of 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.

Prices
Prior to the March 2014 update (v1.2.0), power-ups were purchased with coins. But with the update, you must now buy them with gems instead. In later updates, now you can buy only a individual power-up or watch a partner video.

Trivia

 * The game gives some resemblance to the original Angry Birds, with the appearance of the Slingshot and power-ups.
 * The game uses Hal in his new design from the Coca-Cola Trailer.
 * All of the characters appear in their Toons design, except Hal (although it's possible that Hal might appear in Angry Birds Toons with his Coca-Cola Trailer appearance) and the Minion Pigs.
 * 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.
 * This is probably because you are racing for a cake.
 * 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.
 * When the player finishes all brackets in a mode, the challenges will be available in that mode. Completing challenges will reward you gems.
 * When you tap a character in its habitat in the big tree, the character commonly says "Hi" or "Hey".
 * This is the only game besides Angry Birds, Seasons and Rio to have all the birds in it.
 * Whenever a kart has been fully upgraded, the kart will "level up" and change in appearance, and the name of the kart will change too.
 * In order to unlock an episode, you have to recruit all characters in the previous episode.
 * When you pick a kart for Race or Versus, all the racers will be using a variant of that kart. This was true prior to the March 2014 update (v1.2.0).
 * A few characters are not seen in their actual karts in their cutscenes nor in their Champion Chase. This is clearly a result of the developers' oversight.
 * Bomb's real kart is Big Bang, but in Seedway Cutscene 5, he goes by Big Boomer, and in his Champion Chase, he goes by Roofster. Both Roofster and Big Boomer are variants of Big Bang.
 * Chuck's real kart is Mega Rocket, but in Stunt Cutscene 5, he goes by Wall Magnet, and in his Champion Chase, he goes by Rocket Racer. Both Rocket Racer and Wall Magnet are variants of Mega Rocket.
 * The AB Toons episode Run Chuck Run! is referenced in the game;
 * The podium with the prizes on it is the same one in the episode.
 * In the Weekly Tournament, the same podium as above appears, also, if you are on the first stand, Chuck will be on the third stand, similar to the ending of the episode where ironically being the fastest, Chuck ends up finishing last losing to Terence.
 * Its worldwide release date was on the 4th anniversary of the first game.
 * If you touch Mechanic Pig too many times, he will say reek.
 * This is the first game that Sponsored power ups change his name. The second was Angry Birds Transformers when State Farm (in the US) changes to Shieldor (Energonicon).
 * This game had two Special Karts: one about Christmas and other about Chinese New Year.

Errors

 * When looking at a champion chase, it says "Defeat (character) 3 times to unlock them" for every character, but this only makes sense with The Blues.
 * For some reason, after the Thanksgiving/Christmas update, the app now crashes after startup.
 * However, after the Chinese New Year update, the app no longer crashes.
 * Sometimes, if your game crashes, your profile will be reset unless connected to Facebook or Rovio.
