Red/Angry Birds Rio

Red, Jay, Jake, Jim, and Chuck are all kidnapped by the smugglers and sent to Rio, where they are encaged in a room with all of the other birds. Because of their strength and rage, they break free of the cage, beginning the Rio game's storyline.

Red is once again the icon for the game, and the first character to be introduced. After his first appearance in Smuggler's Den, he is a playable character in all of the themes that follow.

Once they defeat Nigel they manage to fly all the way back to Piggy Island, just in time to once again save the eggs from the pigs.

Red then travels back to Rio with his flock to visit his friends, Blu and Jewel. This starts the Rio 2 segment.

In this segment Red, along with all of the other characters, receives a change in design. He bears his Toons animation style, with much thicker eyebrows, better shading, and different outlines.

He also appears as the Samba Burst power-up, which he wears a fruit hat and is happy. Touching on the screen when you launch him will cause Red to samba dance and makes something near him shake, such as Marmosets, Wood, Stone, etc.

Gameplay
Red once again bears no abilities, just like the previous two games. However, he, just like Matilda, receives a noticeable increase in strength. He can destroy blocks much more effectively, making him a much more useful character to have. This was very pleasing to fans, as they complained that he was much too weak.

During boss battles, Red can be used to activate TNT or knockdown easy structures onto the boss. However, if the player gets rid of all the surrounding blocks and debris then Red isn't a very effective character but can bring somewhat decent damage to the enemy.
