Angry Birds Pistachios Stadium Level 1-5 Walkthrough

Below is our 3 star walkthrough video for Angry Birds Hunt for the Golden Pistachio Level 1-5 (Stadium). Can you beat our score? If so, post a comment with your strategy. Not familiar with Angry Birds Pistachio? Check out this article for all the details you seek.

Update: This level was previously impossible, but on Feb 23rd, 2012 Rovio lowered the minimum 3 star threshold, so it’s now doable. The minimum score for 3 stars is now 170,000 points (previously, even 182,000 would not achieve 3 stars).

Looks like I could use some help from the community on this one. I’ve achieved a high of 182,000 and still only 2 stars. AND I can’t even get back into the 170’s, my high of 182k was a fluke. Anybody else having any luck on this level? Please share! ;)

I wish I could, but I can’t even access the levels, despite having friends accepting my requests I’m not getting the codes!

Rank: Sling God with 32120 points
By AMslimfordy (@amslimfordy)

173k and 182k are both 2-stars, means the threshold is probably 183 or 184. I’ll try poking around, but my method has been the same as yours.

Hmm, 146 is 1 star, 163 is 2 star, 182 is also 2 star. I believe 3 star is very close!

Never mind, they finally came through, and now I can win more free plays, so I’m going to give it a go and try to get some scores!

188120 still 2 stars

By Jeffrey

this one is impossible. Somehow I ended up with 100 free plays. I think it was an initial glitch and i ended up with 30 and every other play I hit a golden P and got 10 more plays. Needless to say. I couldn’t get 3 stars out of 100 tries and I was in the 170’s multiple times.

By Jeffrey

No way how did you beat it?

By Jeffrey

Oh I see you couldn’t beat it either. I’m telling you it’s impossible. Someone needs to tell them to update the game and lower it.

Why is there a pistashio in the the middle of “Indestructable stuff”? Is it posible to get?

Rank: Champion with 3295 points
By Laurence (@laurence)

Right, that’s my battery gone, and i’m still on 177k – i’ll be back tomorrow (its 1:30 am here) and then lets nail this three stars!

Rank: Champion with 3295 points
By Laurence (@laurence)

I have the two star limit, which is 160k, and I’m up to 180k with both 2 and 3 birds, so theoretically 190k is a possible score, and I’m pretty sure that will get 3 stars! I’ll keep at it (still got 100 plays left!)

Rank: Champion with 3295 points
By Laurence (@laurence)

To follow up, it does not matter what order the shots are fired in, either can get over 180k. I’ve uploaded a screenshot of the shot on the left tower here for you. As you can see, if you piece the two shots together, ie 65k + 112k + 10k (for spare bird) you get 187k, so higher scores (than mine or FTs) are available.

Good luck all!

Rank: Champion with 3295 points
By Laurence (@laurence)

The trick in high scores (175k plus) as far as I can see is a very good first bird, aimed through the hanging platform’s supports and then causing the entire right hand side of the structure to collapse, and you need AT LEAST 110k after this shot. The best I’ve had is 112k (screenshot showing damage after shot 1

Then its a question of shot 2, which is very similar to FTs shot but another 5k is needed on top (it can be done). This should leave your score at around 165-170 (if they both work perfectly you’ll have around 175k at this point)

The third bird is then unused for 10000 points.

All that you need to do is to get both birds perfectly at the same time. I haven’t yet, so am still only on 180k instead of 185k (as you can see in the screenshot)

This level is ridiculously hard, but I don’t believe its impossible. I hope this strategy enables someone at least to get three stars from what must be the hardest AB level I think I’ve ever seen!

Good Luck all!

You know what? I hate this level! Gonna give up for now but that method has potential if anyone else is having a go. One warning, I have used about 400 plays so far, so if you’re limited on plays, best to avoid going for three stars!

By Jeffrey

They have to update this level and lower the point total for 3 stars. I’m a fanatic that has 3 starred every single level of AB no matter the platform and this one is utterly impossible.

By Triggersoft

Guys, WP is glitched up. This happened on Dec 30, the day before WP closes, just forgot to tell everyone.

Bought a bag of pistachios (not really, got it for free with a coupon!) then used it all on L5. I fired the first bird then left to get a drink, and when I got back I got three stars. I was able to get a few hundred points above Slim’s highscore, and I still can’t get 3 stars! (Using Laurence’s strategy above)

And the fact that levels cost $7.99 in pistachios for 15 “plays” doesn’t help either. :)

Does anybody know how to use these “free tickets”? I would really like to help finding the threshold but am currently stuck in this step.

Rank: Sling God with 32120 points
By AMslimfordy (@amslimfordy)

Are you asking how they are used, or how they are obtained?

They are used automatically, 1 ticket per attempt at Levels 3, 4, and 5. They are obtained a few ways, such as codes from Pistachio packages.

Rank: Gold Flinger with 8570 points
By Kartflyer (@kartflyer)

I got a few plays from unlocking the secret stage, but Levels 3, 4 and 5 are still locked.

Rank: Sling God with 32120 points
By AMslimfordy (@amslimfordy)

You must pass levels 1 thru 5 in order (though Levels 1 & 2 do not use tickets to play).

Gee, Thanks Slim! Let’s do this!

Looks like it doesn’t matter how many birds you use. 1 bird and only got 2 stars.

Rank: Champion with 3295 points
By Laurence (@laurence)

Yeah, after (no exaggeration, I promise) 700 plays, I gave up and am hoping they lower this threshold. I never managed the 188k I know is possible. Just out of interest what was your score using one bird, and how did you get it?

Rank: Explosive with 2105 points
By nascarboy (@nascarboy)

Score was 180000, but its was 99% luck

One bird method: Shoot the yellow bird so it skids the top of the first structure. It should cut the two ropes and then rarely it destroys the wooden plank low on the second structure sometimes resulting in one bird.

As I said above, its 99% luck. Only did it in one bird 3 times out of 40. Because it is 99% luck, score may vary.

Rank: Champion with 3295 points
By Laurence (@laurence)

Ok, I may give that a go – that makes it 180k from 1 bird, 2 birds and 3 birds!

Rank: Gold Flinger with 9830 points
By Chris (@chriss)

I don’t understand your percentage. For me, 99% luck means that you only succeed once out of 100 times. But you say you did it 3 times out of 40.
So what does your 99% mean?

Rank: Champion with 3295 points
By Laurence (@laurence)

It’s just a figure of speech as a way of saying ‘a lot more luck than skill’. It’s not an actual percentage probability I believe. :)

Haha, so I see, although I bet it isn’t possible. I think the ABSOLUTE maximum you can get from this level is about 190k

Rank: Gold Flinger with 9830 points

With n ascarboy’s method, a one bird solution is indeed possible. Yes, 190k is possible.

Rank: Gold Flinger with 9830 points

Really! Wow, this level really is impossible – we should fire off a couple of e-mails to Rovio informing them about this

By JeeJee

I’m thinking it’s an unwinnable level, per client request. Once a user has mastered all levels, what would be the point of returning to the site? Repeat visitation (in this case, partially driven by product-sale incentive) and total game plays are among the more valuable success metrics for campaigns like this, and I’m sure Wonderful’s agency insisted (or strongly suggested) that users have an added reason to return.

Rank: Pig Leader with 11200 points
By FujiToast (@fujitoast)

I agree that it may be unbeatable. Not really sure if it was by glitch or agency suggestion but I’d call it a poor idea. ;) In my opinion if you want people to come back, make it a high points challenge and don’t hide the part where it may be unattainable. Wonderful Pistachios? Are you listening? It’s best to be honest with your intentions to win over a customer. You can keep a person coming back and even get them to keep entering codes with incentives and prizes for high scores and other challenges won.

What’s crazy is that when I got to a certain point the only thing I won with the golden pistachios was free plays. So I have to believe something is going on.

By David

Indeed 190 is possible. My high score is 190,000. 2 stars!

So nobody has 3 stars yet? Maybe I will write Rovio an e-mail.

Perhaps you needed 190,001 or more to get three stars???

Rank: Master Slinger with 6760 points
By username12345 (@blahalb09)

Reply from Rovio:
Regarding the issue with Pistachio level 5, you would have to beat your existing high score in order to get the three stars. At the moment the game won’t register the three stars unless you get a new high score, even if the score is over 170,000. We are terribly sorry about this.

Rank: Champion with 3295 points
By Laurence (@laurence)

rats. i guess I’ll just have to hope they work out a way that you can :(

By Marsha

Don’t give up. I am stunned ,I just got 192700. I too had a high score of 185+. Bounce off the very top of the left gray sticks. The yellow bird will bounce over and smash everything with just the one bird. Hope this helps.

By morvin

Rather than trying to do the nearly impossible I renamed the “localstorage” file to “localstorageOLD”, and replayed the five Pistachio levels plus the Bonus level again, earning three stars in all of them. I renamed rather than deleted the file so that I could restore it if my plan didn’t work. But it worked.

The path to the file is:
C:/Users/[Your User Name]/AppData/Local/Google/Chrome/User Data/Default/Local Storage

And the file name is: http_angrybirds-pistachios.appspot.com_0.localstorage

Rename the “localstorage” extention to whatever you want and Google Chrome will create a new one enabling you to replay all the levels from scratch.

If you can’t find the file, you may have to go into Windows Explorer/Tools/Folder Options/View and put a tick beside “Show hidden files, folders and drives.

Okay, I will do that. Thank you for the tip. 170k is very easy to obtain in level 5, even with 2 birds. And the other levels are also 3 starred again quickly.

I should have mentioned that I’m runing Windows 7 Pro. I don’t know where the file would be in Win XP or any other operating system.
