Our strategy for Smugglers’ Plane level 11-3 is to fire the White bird just above the cardboard boxes on the left side. The explosion and ricochet should topple the structure to the right. (Lofting the White bird over the structure and bombing its right leg is a more difficult shot, but can result in extremely high scores.) If the level is not yet cleared, use the Yellow bird to detonate the TNT in the right structure. The score in the video below is 79,800.
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.


There a one birder by dropping just over the tower, collateral is key and still trying to get the suitcase at the same time
@rocklands-thx,thought suitcase is impossible to reach @ hollow squares are blocked by boxes
@rocklands, I was stuck on this level at 105K. It took days to get some more. Then I zoomed out and threw the eg exactly along the wood and got lots of collateral. A late response, yes, but I’m going through my bad scored games again. Thank you.
@ rocklands … yes, absolutely! Just drop the egg bomb, avoiding the wooden plank that sticks out to the right of the left hand structure, and if the right concrete block shatters the entire left hand tower topples to the right, with the boulder setting of the TNT to complete the level with pretty massive detruction. A fairly reliable 1-birder.
Have yet to nail the suitcase simultaneously, but one clearance when the right hand side virtually “vaporised” gave me an unexpected, but welcome, 115K
Do you need to drop the wb in there or just the egg, I cannot get an angle to drop wb without hitting lamp above ty for help:)
try a low arc just over the top of the first tower, and then drop egg. I have 108k with this method :)
Thanks Habanero for the details…was tring forever trying to wb the left top thinking stone circle would roll over far enough to hit fire thing,,,looked on here for tips and boom…one try your way got 102890…gonna try for higher. thanks again!
I need some help/clarification. I’ve dropped the egg over the top of the tower in as many spots as I can countless times and can’t figure out where “the spot” is. Just barely over the top of the tower? Further to the right after the boulders? Etc…Also the right side concrete block: is that the one under the wooden plank that sticks out of the right hand side? (I get to avoid the plank.) I am so confused on this one.
great shot habanero, been trying hard to get my destruction up, I was convince you managed the suitcase with your score, so it seems that a 120k might even be possible!
rocklands and Habanero – Thanks guys for the one birdie! Hope to pay you back soon!.. thx
Thanks for the strat Rocklands ,Habenreo ,.just to let u know my 116.290 still did not touch the luggage ,so still more points there I would say
Thanks for the tip guys;) haven’t managed it yet but will die trying. Lol is it just me or does level seem to lag a bit,like start then suddenly pick up? Ty for help:)
I’ve found that a few of the new levels seem to lag, but I find zooming out then in a couple of times usually sorts it out :)
Ty Laurence, that seems to help:)
My one birder just seems to destroy the entire right without touching the left side
Mine too I just can’t seem to get the right spot:( gl
Am just now going through Rio to improve my scores — not sure if yourquestion is still open but here goes: loft the WB over the left tower and drop the egg bomb so that it just misses the right edge of the horizontal wooden beam that protrudes above the caged blue bird. NOTE — you can cut it too close and in that case, you’ll hit the cage and do no ther damage. If you release the egg too far past the edge of the beam, it’ll explode on the cardboard boxes with little effect. BOTTOM LINE: Keep trying for a lease close to the edge – you’ll succeed.
My problem is that my 1-bird scores consistently fall between 92-104k! That puts me very far down the Leaderboard for this game. Makes me wonder what aspect I am missing.
Addendum: I kept at it and inched up to 112020. Restating the guidance, release the egg bomb just to the right edge of the wooden beam but far enough to miss the caged blue bird. Even so, my scores ranged from the mid 90k to 112k.
Someone Out there who was able to get the luggage ? After 100 times it seems to be impossibble to me…
@becon79, I missed it too, and I’ve been trying and trying but it always survives.
not sure how viable this alternative is ,but if u through white bird at ground abit away from first structure ,so u bug out up under ledge with chain to try and break or fracture inner bricks the whole structure wants to fall backward ,i have only done it twice with 1 bird then far side is an easy fall .usually use all 3,even if u cant get it to fall ,when u shoot at second structure dont hit tnt straifght on ,go over it and the structure has achance to fall left before exploding ,throwing debrie on left target,i have had a few scores over 105k so far ,also if u want to lob first bird on left side of light u can go closer than normal to light for some reason ,.something different …goodluck
I got 110,540 on my first attempt at this level. I just launched the white bird over the first tower and dropped the bomb just on the other side, landing on the left hand side of the carton beyond the tower. The tower then fell to the right, and took out the oxygen cannister which blew everything up. The oxygen doesn’t always get hit though, so I may have gotten lucky.
I got 108770 with 1 bird and the suitcase was still there. It was surrounded by concrete clocks so scoring it seems unlikely.
You just got to get closer, as do I. Although, I will admit, that bloom of destruction was a thing of beauty.
Yes, it is! I do enjoy a good explosion. :) This level is one of those where your score can vary so much, but when all the timing is right, it is amazing.
I find the verbal descriptions of the video really confusing.
“Our strategy for Smugglers’ Plane level 11-3 is to fire the White bird just above the cardboard boxes on the right side.” – Do you mean “left”? When I first saw this sentence I thought of bombing the boxes on the right structure, instead of those on the left structure as displayed in the video.
(Lofting the White bird over the structure and bombing its right leg is a more difficult shot, but can result in extremely high scores.) – Should have stated that it is the right leg of the LEFT structure. I once thought I had to lob the white bird over the ENTIRE structure, which is clearly impossible.
Please edit these. I know there’s a lot of players who wants to 3-star this ASAP.
Take time to watch the video and b thankful for this site…they don’t have to put their time in to help us out….its not an obligation.just a freindly helpful place where they took the time to make it easier for people to play…!!
Minor typo, sorry
Score:146,790. I spent all my birds and when I threw the last a funny thing happened and everything exploded while the red bird kept bouncing up and down all over the place.
ps:I threw the last one against the fire extinguisher or whatever is that red thing.
@olatz This cant be right
Yes, it is. It was one of those chain reactions that happens from time to time and if you try to do that again you can probably be all your life trying and never get it.
@olatz, I think you’re posting to the wrong column, this is 11-3 and there’s nothing for the birds to bounce on, also that score seems way out of place for this level.
It’s a definite 1-Birder, just drop egg as close as possible to right side of first structure, almost everything goes, in my case I missed hitting the suitcase, otherwise my score would have been much higher.
Same thing happens to me… its all about to make the structure fall at it’s right and destroy every thing except the suitcase under the rock structure…
