    The Angry Birds Movie Dream Blast Summer Madness

    Matilda is a character that appears in the Angry Birds series. She is a chicken[citation needed] who can lay explosive eggs.

    Appearance

    Originally, Matilda is an egg-shaped bird who was covered in white feathers. She has a large, oval beak, two small eyes, yellow spots on her cheeks, and three short, black feathers on her head and on her tail. This design was common until 2013, and it has become rare since then.

    First seen in the Angry Birds Coca-Cola short, Matilda received a different design. While she keeps the white, egg-shaped body and the large beak from her previous design, her eyes are larger and completely round, and have small eyelashes on them. Her crest and tail feathers were modified as well, being black feathers with pink, round ends. In addition, she now has two feathers on her tail instead of three. The yellow spots on her cheeks were replaced with pink spots, which were implied to be make-up.[10]

    Personality

    Matilda is the flock’s maternal figure who loves animals, nature and gardening. She always tries to promote peace, trying to educate birds behaving badly. Due to ther firm nature, she can sometimes appear a bit overbearing, but deep down, she’s very thoughtful, lovable and kind-hearted.

    Game appearances

    Angry Birds

    Matilda's pre-chrome appearance (Note: Matilda does not seem angry.)

    Matilda makes her first appearance in the original Angry Birds game, as the last, and originally largest, bird introduced in level 2-14 Poached Eggs.

    After her debut, Matilda would appear and be a playable character in various levels in all themes, excluding The Big Setup, as the episode focused on Hal and Terence rescuing her. Despite being one of the largest of the birds, Matilda is weak in physical strength for her size. The egg bombs she deploys have decent power but suffer from a short blast radius and tend to be overestimated in their effect on the structure.

    Like all the other characters of the game, Matilda received a newer animation, getting her "Chrome" design, as all the characters' new designs had originally come from the "Angry Birds Chrome" game. Matilda's corpse used to be a deflated, shriveled version of her once she launched the egg, but as of the newest version of Angry Birds, she will revert to her regular corpse sprite.

    She also appears in multiple games and installments of the Angry Birds series as a main character and has become very prominent in the Angry Birds universe.

    Angry Birds Seasons

    Matilda appears from the very start of the game when it was once known as Angry Birds Halloween. After her first appearance in Trick or Treat, she would be a playable character in all of the episodes that follow. Matilda's ability had no alterations when putting her in the game. However in Piglantis, it was revealed that Matilda's ability will go along with water. If the water is deep enough, then Matilda's explosive egg will be able to burst out of the surface, and hit possible structures above it. If Matilda is slung into the water, she will sink and then resurface.

    There was also a version of Matilda in Hogs and Kisses unofficially named "Female White Bird", as she had never been given an official name. She is shown to be significantly smaller than the Girl Bird in some photos, who was the same size as the regular Red Bird. However, in others, she was just as big as the regular Matilda. It was shown that the Female White Bird and Matilda were in a romantic relationship. However, this had been way before official genders were given to the birds and have not been counted as actual canon.

    Angry Birds Rio

    Matilda appears as the fourth bird unlocked in Angry Birds Rio, first appearing in Smugglers' Den's 70 Star and Feather Award levels, but later made her proper debut in the 6th level of Jungle Escape. After this, she appears in all the following episodes as a playable character. Matilda's ability is almost identical to her two prior appearances except that her egg bomb is more powerful, and can make much more damage. For example, if she lays an egg on Luiz during Beach Volley, Luiz will fly in the air; which is quite useful, as Luiz is very strong and can destroy many bricks. (along with destroying even more if beach balls are laid out afterward)

    If used right, Matilda can be a very versatile and powerful character to have during boss fights. Matilda's egg bomb is very harmful to bosses, taking a very major hit. (as you usually will need 2-4 of them to defeat the boss) It is recommended that if possible, fire Matilda very close to the boss and lay the egg bomb on him, causing Matilda to fly off, where she will hopefully hit TNT or a weakly supported structure.

    When the game was updated in 2014 to promote Rio 2, all of the birds were redesigned to match her appearance in Angry Birds Toons, (see below) Notably, this featured a more prominently feminine Matilda, as fans had been initially very confused about her gender. (though at this point it had been confirmed that she was clearly a female)

    Originally, Matilda was introduced the same level and episode that she appeared in the original game, although the first chapter in the game was Surf and Turf, rather than Poached Eggs. In modern updates of the game however, she would debut in the Piggy Tower in level 5-11.

    Her ability stays the same as the other games, but with some minor changes in damage, consistent with her fix from Angry Birds Rio. However, her ability was temporarily replaced in the Holiday Oink Tournaments with an Explosive Present Dropping ability.

    She received a design change in the mobile version, where it now uses the Toons Design, where she is still frowning and the shriveled sprite is the same as injured.

    Angry Birds Go!

    Matilda is featured in Angry Birds Go! as a playable character, and multiple changes are made to her character. For one, she uses her Toons animation in-game, which hadn't happened before. She also, like all of the other characters, uses a 3D model, which was a first for Rovio, as all their games had been in 2D animation up until that point.

    Like all the other playable characters in the game, Matilda has her kart, which is the Tub-Copter. This is the kart that she is featured within Telepods, promotions, and other merchandise.

    Gameplay

    Matilda was first featured in Air like a boss. You would have to beat her 3 times in a race to unlock her as a playable character; and like most of the other characters, she had a different ability. (in which she would throw spinning eggs at the player)

    However, once the game was updated, the boss battles were then removed from the game and replaced with the campaigns. Now you have to get one star on campaign level 4, race 5.

    Matilda also appears in races as an opponent in all themes of the game.

    Her ability as a playable character is to throw egg bombs at the rival racers. While this ability is effective in the players that it hits, it isn't as widespread as other character's abilities, or abundant.

    Angry Birds Epic

    Matilda is included as a playable character in Angry Birds Epic, having the role of the medic and like all the other birds, can be upgraded and changed to the player's preference.

    Once she is introduced she becomes a very prominent character, and is involved as an option in most battles and appears in the cutscenes.

    Angry Birds Transformers

    Matilda later appears in Angry Birds Transformers as Nautica, Energon Nautica and Strongarm after a 3-year absence in the game, however in the game she does not use her own voice clips at all. she uses Silver’s voice clips instead for some reason, and when vehicle mode is turned on, she will form into a jet.

    Gameplay

    Matilda was introduced into the game as Nautica, Energon Nautica and Strongarm in the game. The characters have the abilities to blast shots at enemies and she can use her attack skills to make metal come off objects and attack strong enemies and can equip clothes and can use Energonicons to attack pigs and to unlock her, you have to use player choice.

    Angry Birds 2

    Matilda is included as a playable character in Angry Birds 2, which had been introduced after a rather long time where Rovio did not introduce slingshot-based games with Matilda involved. As most of the returning characters in the game (except for Red), Matilda was given the same ability she originally had in the first games.

    The game also introduces computer animation for the birds and pigs, which had never happened before in the previous slingshot-based games, where there were instead multiple sprites for the birds that were used when they were idle, flying, corpses, etc. Matilda also appears in her "Angry Birds Toons" animation style, as prominently female. (along with her voice parts)

    Gameplay

    Matilda has the same ability as she had in the original games, which is to shoot egg bombs vertically downwards. Once again, the egg bombs aren't extremely effective in terms of destruction, but they are much more effective in being "bombs". They can cause nearby objects to slightly shake, and can also destroy balloons and weak objects even if they are not directly hit.

    Matilda also flies to the right once her ability is used, which is a feature that was in all of the other slingshot games. (excluding the Star Wars series) This is useful, as the levels tend to be much bigger than the original, so there are many more structures to knock down and there is more of an opportunity for Matilda to cause damage. In the other games, she looks squiggly, but in Angry Birds 2, she looks normal, she just spins.

    Like all of the other birds, Matilda can level up if the player obtains her feathers, which increases the number of points she earns when she is used.

    Angry Birds Fight!

    Matilda was involved in the Angry Birds Fight! game as one of the 6 playable and customizable characters. Other than this, she also appears on the matching board as one of the 6 icons.

    Matilda often appears in promotional material and trailers for the game.

    Unlike the other newer Angry Birds games, which made their designs that followed the Toons animations, this game directly takes Matilda's design from the series. (excluding her "matching" icon) The game also uses computer animation, allowing Matilda to be much more lively and animated.

    As of August 1, 2017, the game has been discontinued and taken down from the Play and App stores, and servers have since been shut down.

    Gameplay

    Each bird had their unique ability if the player was able to match 4 or more of their icons. Matilda's unique ability was to lay an egg bomb and erase panels in a vertical line while digging into the enemy's board as well.

    Your success depends on how many points you rack up, so matching quickly is dire for the game. If you don't manage to make enough points by matching the bird icons in 3 or more lines, Matilda or other birds that you use will be defeated by the opponent.

    Angry Birds POP!

    Matilda initially wasn't included in the game, as none of the flock members were, excluding Stella, as it was part of her series. However, she was introduced as a limited edition character and was playable for a short time. Afterward, the original flock members slowly began to replace the Stella characters, and the game was soon branded as a regular Angry Birds game. She is now included in the "Free the Hatchlings" portion, which was originally "Free the Critters", led by Willow.

    Matilda is again, seemingly simple trend, in her animation style rather than her classic design.

    Gameplay

    As a limited edition character, Matilda had the same ability as the "Love Pop" by Shakira, though it is called the "Flock Pop". Unlike Shakira's ability, Matilda's bubble would be able to add time to time-based levels.

    The purpose of Matilda's levels is to free the Hatchlings, who are encased in clear bubbles and surrounded by colored ones.

    Currently, Matilda is included as a permanent character and is featured with a different ability. Her ability (which was previously Willow's) is to shoot a bubble that colors all the surrounding bubbles the color of the next bubble. (known as the "Splash Pop")

    Angry Birds Blast!

    Matilda is featured in the game as a part of the levels, rather than a playable character which is strange for the Angry Birds series, as before the game birds were always featured as playable characters. This time around, she is involved as an icon like all the other birds.

    Like all the other newer installments of Angry Birds, Matilda uses her newer animation design. However, on the matching board, her appearance is much more exaggerated and her face is made much larger compared to her body.

    Gameplay

    Matilda does not have any unique abilities or features, unlike her appearances in other games. Instead, the player's objective is to pop 2 or more of the same colored blocks to free the birds incased. The color of the bird's block is determined by its feathers, so of course, Matilda's blocks are white. If the player frees a block with Matilda encased inside, she will fly off the screen and the player will receive points for it.

    She also appears with bottles in some levels. If the player hits blocks next to her three times, she will start to throw the bottles in random directions that will destroy other blocks in a 1x1 cross figure, helping the player.

    Matilda also appears as her hatchling counterpart in nests where there are two of them in each nest. If a block of the same color as her color is next to the nest, she will pop it. If it's done two times, the nest will disappear.

    Angry Birds Stomper Redemption

    Matilda once again appears in this game but it’s unknown what her role is in this game.
