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 6 episodes, each with 30 levels and a bonus episode consisting of 15 levels. Each are set in the city of Rio de Janeiro.

Release
The game's storyline is loosely based off of the film, Rio. The plot focuses on the signature Bird characters, who are captured from their world by 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 main protagonists from Rio, while returning to their homeland.

The game itself is also different from the signature Angry Birds titles, as the graphics on 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 Scene
The opening scene for the game begins with a single panel of the Angry Birds watching over their eggs. The panel is replaced by the birds being captured with a cage, then proceeds to add several panels to complete the story.

Trivia

 * On the Title Screen, when the music raises higher, the Red Bird and Blu start listening to it and move up and down.
 * The game locations include: a warehouse, a jungle, a beach, a carnival, an airport, and a plane.
 * This was unknown to everyone but a new episode was released on March 16,2012 called Trophy Room. This was clearly unexpected after Angry Birds Space was announced.
 * Only Red, Blue, and Yellow were caught, the others probably would withstand a cage. However, in the Angry Birds Rio Nigel Mashup,all the birds except Orange Bird were caged. Also, in the video the Boomerang Bird was in it's original game sprites.
