Angry Birds (game)/Unused Content

Angry Birds Classic is the first Angry Birds game to be released and it got a lot of unused content as seen below.

Unused Episodes

Red's Mighty Feathers Part 3

In the files of the game, there are two unused sprite sheets for a third part of Red's Mighty Feathers as both of them are label as "SEING RED". The first sprite sheet includes 

File:INGAME SEING RED OBJECTS.png

sprites of pigs with scubas and deep-sea diving suits. One of them is with their original design, which is with the deep-sea diving suit and others with the Chrome design which are with scubas.

There are also air tanks, duck feet, a lily, a mushroom, cave helmets, (Which are unused designs of the ones found in Mine and Dine. There are also two more sprites from the same episode on the sheet) and grass forms.

The other sprite sheet includes sprites of Red using his ability and getting wet, as well as sprites of feathers and water effects. This strongly suggests that part 3 would introduce water in the game.

Angry Birds Land

File:BLOCKS ABLAND BLOCKS 1.png

In the files there are objects sprites for an episode named ABLAND, which is short for Angry Birds Land. There are objects such as a Horse spring ride, Funfair food and toys. There is also hats that were used in Birdday Party. The episode is Funfair or Amusement Park themed and there are sprites for a possible background.

Unused Sprites

Leonard

There are some sprites of Leonard that were never used in-game, such as sleeping, sweating, crying, cheerful and other beta sprites. In fact, it's an edited sheet

of King Pig. 

Sauropods

In the Jurassic Pork background sprites, there are sprites for sauropods. However, they never appear in the levels' backgrounds, but appear in the cutscenes.

• THEME DINO 1.png

  They are seen at the top right.

Cardboard Pigs

File:Angry Birds Classic Cardboard Pigs.png

In the pigs' sprite sheet, there are sprites for cardboard version of the normal pigs. It was probably meant to appear in Mighty Hoax or the Tutorial, but the latter is more possible because of the design's nature.

They would probably act as normal pigs, just as the Scarecrow Pigs do. They doesn't have any injured sprite, meaning that they were only objects or would be instantly defeated.

Bad Piggies Objects

In the files, there are sprites for destroyed versions of the normal objects. In the game, the objects are only destroyed, they have only one state. There are also a pipe wrench and blue caps for the pigs that are never used in the episode.

• INGAME BLOCKS GREEN 1.png

Golden Trophies

In the files, there are sprites for golden versions of the trophy objects, possibly meant to be the 3 Star version of them or Golden Eggs.

Wooden Fuse

In the same sheet, there are two sprites for wooden fuses with red and golden tips. Possibly meant to be the reward for Short Fuse.

Puzzle Piece

Also in the same files, there is a sprite for a blue puzzle piece, possibly meant to be an icon, object or reward.

• INGAME BLOCKS 1 1.png

Purple Feathers

Since the 1.0.0 pc version came out, these purple feathers went present which dedicates that Rovio was probably planning to release a brand new purple bird.

File:FEATHER8GROUP.png

Here are all of the feathers

Unused Episodes

Year of the Goat

In the files, there is a sprite for a button of the episode Year of The Goat that is not used in the game and was probably meant to be released on the start of 2015, since this was the latest Year of The Goat and it uses the Classic Designs. The Chinese Version of the game features an episode with Year of The Goat's background, but the levels in it are taken directly from the international levels.

Moon Festival

In the files, there is a sprite for a button of the episode Moon Festival that is not used in the game and was probably meant to be released probably on the same year, since Moon Festival's button is in the same assets as the Year Of The Goat and it uses the Classic Designs or on 2016, 2017 or 2018, because it's also in the same assets as Bird Island and Tutorial. While not used in the game, the Chinese Version of the game features this episode fully playable.

Birds Levels

Stella Level

There is an unused level in the game called Stella Level (sic), which will refuse to load. The level would probably have featured Stella.

Bubbles

Bubbles's level, unlike Stella, is actually able to load properly. However, the level will always have a score of zero and the Slingshot is stuck under the ground. No Birds are included in the level either.

Design Update

There is an unused poster of a new update. It is a file with a poster that has a texture of buttons and a wood

File:Update Original.png

background.

There are 2 Chucks  (Toons Design), 1 Bubbles, and 2 Minion Pigs (Toons Design). And it uses the background for the Red's_Mighty_Feathers levels. All of the characters use their Toons Designs. The sprites are very similar to Angry Birds Friends' new sprites and this could be a test for these sprites. 

This poster was featured in the News tab (Paused Game Screen).

Poached Eggs

In the files, there's a tile set for a new design of Poached Eggs, that is more realistic, being oil painted. It would possibly be part of the update, however, it's not used anywhere. It also matches the 2013 episodes' background scheme.

• Poached Eggs Toons Backgroud.png

Mighty League

Tickets

Tickets could be used in the Mighty League in order to play the levels and could be found in the Bird Island levels (Which were replaced by Shockwaves). But in recent updates, they don't appear anymore in the game. They were deleted to make the game fairer.

Stickers

Some stickers were unused or retextured such as:

• One featured a defeated Hal in a rectangular form as an icon. To obtain this sticker, the player had to use a lot of birds. This sticker was retextured to Red using the Slingshot as an icon. The form of the sticker is now a star.
• One featured tickets in an oval form as an icon. To get this sticker, the player has to use a determined number of stickers. This was deleted because tickets are not used anymore.

Snow Cannon

In one of the Mighty League levels, there is a warning message saying that a sprite is missing. The name of the sprite is Snow_Cannon. It could be the Snow Cannon from the Angry Birds Friends Winter Tournaments. The message is the following;

Power-Ups

Egg Bomb

There was supposed to be another power-up that would make Egg Bombs fall from the sky with parachutes, but Rovio cut this idea, most likely due to the power-up resembling Matilda's special ability. It can be said this was an early prototype of the power-ups "TNT Drop, Energy TNT, and Allaka-BAM".

Windows Port

And Mobile might have a lot of unused Content well The Windows Port has lot’s of Unused Content Below:

Golden Eggs

Intel Egg- This golden egg sprite has the Intel logo engraved in it. An Intel-themed Angry Birds game was made for promotion, with some of the levels appearing in the Android version of Angry Birds Seasons. Maybe it was planned to appear on this game too.It is possible to view the levels themselves by either replacing already playable levels with them or by enabling it from editing the LUA game code files. There are 5 Intel Golden Egg levels in total. Here are the levels themselves:

  Level 5

Golden RIO Egg- A sprite for a golden egg with a star, with the movie name Rio engraved on it. It appeared when you finish the Golden Egg #22 level, replacing the star. But, as the level complete screen was changed, this also got unused.

  Golden RIO Egg

Mighty Eagle

Even though the Mighty Eagle is exclusive to mobile devices, the graphics and sounds for it can be found. This suggests that this feature may have been planned at one point. At least Rovio has prepared us for it.

First-Time Use Screen

This screen (found in "data\images\pc" of the game's directory) may be what will appear when the player first clicks on the Mighty Eagle icon (in the main menu, or the Power-Up Shop). The roll of film with the Mighty Eagle's eye will most likely lead to the Birds & the Mighty Eagle video like most versions of the game. Notice that there's no icon to buy it (usually a shopping buggy), so the Mighty Eagle may be free to use.

Feathers and Unused Title

Most noticeably in this sheet is what appears to be the original name for the PC version, "Angry Birds HD". It was probably removed because the iPad version is called Angry Birds HD.

It doesn't appear in v2.2.0 PC. Found in MENU_ELEMENTS_2.png, (Not v2.2.0 PC) and MENU_SHEET_2.png.

The large feathers below it are the rankings that replace the stars when using the Mighty Eagle. For how much of the stage is destroyed by the Mighty Eagle, the black feather transitions to the colored feather by percentages. The small feathers on the right are for the menus. During level selection, the black feather is used for indicating a level with the Mighty Eagle used, which is under-layered by the colored feather, showing how much 'eagle score' is obtained.

Sprites

They have sprites for the Can of Sardines and The Eagle Himself in INGAME_BIRDS_2 File.

  The Eagle Himself

Unused Store Image

This image's name is "SHOP_NEW_ME_BG.png", so it might've been used in the store. File:12AD317C-01C3-447B-8BBD-5F003886FF8D.png

Demo Level

There is an eagleDemo level in \data\levels. This might have been used as a power-up tutorial level in the mobile versions.

Power-Up Buttons

Icons for the power-ups from Angry Birds Friends (aka Angry Birds Facebook), which includes the shop images, as well as some placeholder graphics. They can be found in one file. Like the Mighty Eagle, these features never came to this version. There is also a lock button (iPhone retina Display) that is unused. That appears in BUTTONS_SHEET1

Unused/Leftover sprites

Crystal Icon

Found in BUTTONS_SHEET_1.png (Or BUTTONS_SHEET_2.png), there is a hexagonal crystal icon. It is used in the iOS versions only.

Unused buttons

Among all the button icons, there are a lot of icons which were not used:

• The "Play" button has been replaced with a simple round button with a play icon.
• The left arrow button with a corner shadow might be intended for use in the level selection, but the one without the shadow was used.
• Some social media icons will only appear in the game if used the Chinese, Japanese or Korean localizations
• The ID card button icons were used only on the mobile versions, where you could save your progress online with a Rovio account.
• Ads never appear in the PC version. But in the mobile versions, you can purchase to remove ads. Hence, "Get the latest ad-free version!" button sprite was never used.
• Red tied with a ribbon, present in the iOS version as a button to share a free version of it.
• The crystal icon, again, but smaller.
• The trophy icon might have been for Achievements, only present in iOS versions.
• The curved arrow icon and the curved arrow on 'level select' icon was never used in any versions. Might be intended as a return button.
• The blue button with hills will change the background to a static color, and will also remove all background images. This is only present in the mobile versions.

Golden egg #12 Soundbox

While the first five birds (Red, Blues, Chuck, Bomb, Matilda) and Hal were used, their 'hurt' sprites were never used. Same for Bomb's exploding phases, wide-mouthed Hal and Terence. This was added in v3.1.0.

1x

Bad Piggies Promotion

Sprite-sheet for the Bad Piggies promotion. This is supposed to be animated. This was added in v2.3.0.

Test arrow

This pair of arrows were included in the birds and pigs' (INGAME_BIRDS_1) sprite-sheet, and are likely a leftover from the developer kit (a.k.a The Level Editor).

It can be seen in this video at 4:25.

Red's special (Mighty Feathers) activated

Red's sprite when he uses his ability. In Chapter 9, Red gets a special ability. While it does show up in the tutorial screen, this never shows up when used. This is also used in (INGAME_BIRDS_1).

Rectangular bubble

A rectangular bubble and its particle sprites are present alongside Stella's sprites, so it was most likely that she was intended to use this bubble too. However, only the normal bubble sprite was used.

Unused blocks

Some weird block sprites are present in the blocks sprite-sheet that were never used in-game.

• The golden American football might have be used for Golden Egg #22 as it was a Super Bowl surprise. But, as this specific egg didn't used any sprite to seem invisible to players, this sprite was never used.
• Two different types of terrain, a wooden stage, and an ice rink.
• Two bent planks, each painted with a different color.
• A brass tray.
• A sideways metal pole that might be for a sideways flag.
• An ice platform. It was used in Angry Birds Seasons as a static platform.
• "Golden" sprites of the first 6 chapters' level complete items, and a King Pig for some reason. A golden item might be planned for each episode, but was scrapped for some reason.
• A puzzle piece (Again).
• Also In Retina Display (Or iPad 3 & newer) (And v2.2.0 to v3.3.1), the Mighty Hoax block is supposed to be the Chrome sprites.

Debugging Functions

LUA error handler

If an LUA is modified incorrectly or calls something that has or causes errors, the game will show an error about it, options are to ignore, abort or retry, if the file is too major that is having the problem, the game likely will force you to exit/crash unless the file is fixed. If the game memory is modified based on bird counts (?) the game will show an error: Next bird not found! Please make sure all birds are correctly numbered for each level. Call stack: INFO...

Developer Cheats

If developer cheats are on, these can be used during gameplay.

FPS and memory display

A display on the bottom middle of the screen, for the FPS and memory in MB is visible, showFps is the internal flag name if using the Debug Console to enable.

Debug console

A giant overlay for both logging and entering text, covering the entire screen, called and hidden by by Shift-D it is possible to edit in-game flags and values for a session by using it, the same way for loading it on mobile releases (Right corner multi click) is also a method to load on the PC version. Using @ in your entry will close the debug console after it is entered.
