Angry Birds Rio Smugglers Plane Chapter 12 Now Available

The latest update for Angry Birds Rio (v1.4.2) is now available for iOS, Mac, PC, Symbian, and Android via the Amazon Appstore and Android Market, with other platforms coming soon. The update features the remaining 15 levels of Smugglers Plane and includes a bonus surprise: The Orange Bird! That’s right, our expandable new friend managed to book a flight to South America and has joined the fun.

Maybe the biggest news to come with this update is that THIS IS NOT THE END OF RIO! That’s right, this is the epic conclusion of Smugglers Plane, but there will be future updates based on deleted scenes and extras. Want proof? This Tweet from Rovio states, “Last levels of Smuggers’ Plane out, but this is not the end of Rio!” So keep your eyes peeled for news about forthcoming updates! Maybe they’ll even be a second Rio movie, Rio 2. Who knows!

This update includes:

  • 15 new levels! The leaderboards and walkthroughs are up!
  • 8 new mangoes to find.  Refer to our videos if you need help finding them.
  • New achievements to be unlocked (iOS only). Many are “hidden” achievements, so be sure to check out our list.
  • Another “thrilling” boss fight!
  • As said above, the Orange Bird is now available, which means the whole Angry Birds family has made an appearance.
  • Pro tip! Try to hit the luggage. It’s worth 5,000 points!
  • A new icon has appeared on the “Play” screen. It’s a music note that links to the Rio Samba Single on iTunes.  We’re not sure if this link will be there for other platforms, so let us know.

We will be updating this post as our walkthroughs and leaderboards go live, and as the update lands on more platforms, so stay tuned!

Has anybody downloaded the samba song?

Come to think of it.. I never even looked to see if it’s avail on the PC platform yet…

By Morph416

Ok… well, I just now double checked the initial play screen for PC version, there is no music icon to d/l the song.

If you really want to listen to the song, all you need to do is lauch Rio, and the song will autostart.

As the post says,

The latest update for Angry Birds Rio (v1.4.2) is now available for iOS, PC, and Android via the Amazon Appstore, with other platforms coming soon.

Android Market is not included in that list. The update may land on Android Market towards the end of this week or beginning of next week.

A star added to the trophy. If your on iOS, then you gain an achievement. That’s pretty much it…

the latest cutscene could be a hint for the upcoming episode … could the piggies be introduced ? pure speculation :-)

Rank: Debriefed with 1415 points

in that if u see there is photo for the mighty eagle which has not been used.so in an angry birds pc version it has all the images required by all the versions but are not used in PC.so the code of mighty eagle may be there in the data files.(just speculating)

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

Data files are universal across all platforms. The Mighty Eagle is in PC’s data files because the Mighty Eagle exists on iOS. That’s pretty much the only reason.

Where did you get the app from? Rovio’s shop, or AppUp?

By birder53

Rovio’s shop

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

You can go to download.angrybirds.com and download the new Rio “Demo” file. Installing the new .exe should update your version of the app without disrupting your progress.

Thanks so much for your help! I got the updates for Rio and Seasons.

If it’s just for your personal use then that’s fine. If you plan on distributing it then, no, as you’d be violating Rovio’s copyright.

Having managed to collect the final fruit in Smugglers’ Plane (and therefore Rio) my ipad crashed and I seem to have lost all of the fruit awards although all the 3 stars and acheivements are still there. Any ideas (although it will be quite fun to find all the fruit again!)

Rank: Sling God with 32120 points

All the 3-stars are still in-game? Then hopefully you are still in good shape. Just a hiccup in your settings file.

I was at Rovio’s site today…it stated that android market has the update, but my market doesn’t have it. I am setup for automatic update also. If I get it from amazon I will be starting from scratch, correct?

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

When Rovio says android, it doesn’t necessarily mean the Android market. In this case, it means Amazon.

Thanks. If I get it from amazon, do I start from scratch?

Rank: Master Slinger with 6760 points

I’m not really sure, but I think you would get two separate ABR apps. (one from Android and one from Amazon)

Rank: Pig Leader with 12140 points
By sunshine (@sunshine)

That’s what I thought. I like your new avatar.

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

Android Market should receive the update by the end of this week, I have heard. It’s not a guarantee, but that is likely when they will submit the update for approval.

If you install the Amazon version of the app, it should overwrite your existing app and maintain your progress.

Rank: Pig Leader with 12140 points
By sunshine (@sunshine)

So, would you do that, or just sit tight at this point? By the way, would you like a glass of lemonade? :)

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

I would wait for the Android Market update because the only version of ABR on Amazon is $0.99.

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

It’s up to you. You pay $.99 for the Amazon version, but it is ad-free and comes 1 week earlier. With the news that there will be future updates, it may be worthwhile. On the other hand, you will only have to wait a few more days for Market.

Has anyone else noticed that the Total Score in iOS Game Center stopped updating with this release?

If I look at top score for today or this week, it does update and shows my current score minus the Golden Beachball levels, which is still less than the Total Score I had when it included those levels. I wonder if they fixed the scoring to not send the Golden Beachball level scores and since my score without them is less than it was, it just doesn’t change it. That’s purely speculation though.

If so, it could mean that the ‘not the end of Rio’ could just be opening up those levels to everyone, and then they’ll start resending those scores again?

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

Not sure about the last part. I don’t think it will simply open the Golden Beachball levels to everyone.

By Thomas K

Same here – I can’t see any changes in scoring since the latest version – in my screen Manu Malin sits pegged at 20,274,850 and I’m stuck at 18,057,090 – something is buggered.

One notable change with this update is the setting and highscores files location for those transferring their progress.
It’s no longer in the Applicationsupport/Rovio/AngryBirdsRio folder.
The new location is Applicationsupport/com.rovio.mac.AngryBirdsRio folder.

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

Hrm, interesting. Wonder why they renamed the folder. In any case, hopefully Mac users can figure this out as they go. I assume most Mac users are savvy enough to find it :)

It’s actually, from what I gathered, a more reliable way of coding the file path, much more stable.
