Welcome to our first walkthrough for the secret Rio episode Golden Beachball. To unlock these levels, be sure to check out our detailed instructions →.
Our strategy for level 1 is to fire the first Yellow bird downward, bouncing off the yellow inner tube and detonating the TNT in the bottom-left. Launch the next Yellow bird head-on into the boulder on the left, causing it to fall onto the TNT in the first trough. Fire the third Yellow bird into the other boulder. If the far right tower does not explode from the TNT blasts, use the last Yellow bird. The score in the video below is 120,320.
If you have a different strategy feel free to leave a comment below; however, don't just post your score via the comments, as that's what the leaderboards are for.

115670 2 stars
124040 3 stars
I shoot 1st yellow at inner tube, accelerated and it takes out entire left side, including palm tree and TNT for 30k
2 nd bird into 1st boulder to take out all but last two marmosets and 2 remaining TNTs… For 78k total…. Though I believe if done right this bird can also knock debris into third marmoset and TNT (the one moving up and down) and TNT destroys the rest if it’s on it’s way up…when this happens I had 104240 total. Since all was destroyed, I got 20000 for the two remaining birds, for a total of 124240.
3rd bird, if needed straight into TNT for 114000k total.
4th bird 10000k.
Granted it’s early but I the 2 bird method yielded a mere 200 points more than the 3 bird method.
1st bid as you said on inner tube and took out all left side for a bout 26K. 2nd bird took out all the rest and gave me 97K.. 20K for the remianing birds,, and I am still on 2stars and 127K!!! grr.. ;)
Same method as video,but finised with 2 birds. 2nd bird got a lot of luck. I believe 140k+ is possible.
131,070 with 2 birds. Is it possible to get over 140k, I think it’s not.
Is there hidden golden beach balls or eggs or anything in these levels?
I don’t think so.
125850 – 2 birds
1st bird through the palm tree, into the vertical concrete block which bumps the TNT and explodes the left side.
2nd bird through the square wooden block to shatter the horizontal plank the monkey is sitting on. The bird falls to explode the first up-and-down TNT box and the debris falls to explode the second which tips the right structure over onto the tree.
This method is preferred to the one I posted above (and the video). Since first bird gets points from the tree and the TNT seems to take out some of the main structure, it is easier to take out the rest with the 2nd bird.
Oh, and it also increased my score by 4k on the first try… I’m sure I can get in the 130′s pretty quickly this way.
Yup… I just got 133310 on my second try. Plus the first birds explosion also destabilized the whole structure, leading me to believe that a one bird solution is possible.
Thanks for the tip @magsy79… Bird 1 into stone block is the way to go.
Of note also, is that the TNT boxes are moving at different speeds, so every few seconds, they synchronize. This is the time to launch bird two, getting TNT detonations nearly simultaneously, to great effect, and lots of damage points.
Thanks for sharing this tip. I barely 3 star most of the time, so I am going to try this way next. Now, maybe I can break 130k!
Good luck. Even with timing your shots, there is still a downside offalling debris stopping the cascade of destruction. Luck plays a large factor in getting things to fall and/or break your way. But it does work, just be prepared to reset the level and start over again, if you don’t get what you want.
Can’t believe I didn’t realize ’til today that these levels even existed! Duh… I got 128,170 with one bird, trying to do it the same way as the video walkthrough. Don’t know what I did “wrong,” but I like it!
129,180 with 2 birds! Just got lucky don’t ask me how. I tried this level so many times! I know we are not supposed to post without saying how we got score. But it was just luck. Followed video and the 2nd bird finished off the rest!
Wow..finally a 1st place score of 139,510. 1st bird through the palm tree destroying the structure and 2nd bird hitting the 1st concrete ball destroying the rest!
Grrrrrrrrrr cannot do more than 134760.
This was a cool level. My method was completely different. I actully got it with one bird but my score was only 121110. I did it several more times the same way as I did to get it with one bird and got above average 128780 with 2 birds. You have to wait for the second moving TNT to go down once, and as its on it’s way back up, hit first bird thru empty box just left of middle monkey above first boulder. It slices thru thicker vertical wood block which causes the second boulder to hit second moving TNT now that I waited for it to come up,it is close enough for the last non moving TNT to explode so whole right structure is gone and tumbled off to get palm tree too. Meanwhile with this hit that first boulder rolled backwards and dropped down and took out first monkey, didnt get the first TNT which is probably why to one bird score was so low, however when I used this method and first monkey didnt break by falling backwards boulder, I used second YB to cut thru palm tree and explode TNT and got monkey, etc. If the one bird HAD hit the first TNT the score would have been higher so there’s room for a one birder with very high score.
There are even cooler levels later on in GB.
@lesleyg. Great strat AA I almost got 1b)irde but didn’t get lower left structure ..;( then I messed up shot through palm tree..that’s tricky any precise tips on that? Ty for help;)
Maybe I was blinded by your bling;)
Thanks @kathy ;-) The second shot is a bit tricky through the palm tree, I have an even better second bird shot. Try aiming YB at the tubes below but be sure to hit the one on the bottom facing the sand structure, the one that is only half showing. He will bounce up and take out the sand and ignite tnt and pretty much demolish the whole left side!
I didn`t have the chapter Golden BeachBall, but I have the version 1.4.2 :S
