Angry Birds Rio Smugglers Plane Walkthrough Level 16 (12-1)

One strategy for Smugglers’ Plane level 12-1 is to launch the Red bird through the first two cages on the left. Then use the Yellow bird through the bottom (single) chain holding the TNT, causing it to fall straight down and clear the remaining cages.

Hidden Mango Alert!

74k is 3 stars, 73k is 2

I did a different strat than the one mentioned above. Yielded me 86k.
Red bird should be used to break the chain holding the TNT, which falls and pushes most of the level.
Yellow bird to finish off and brak as much blocks as possible.

This strat works a bit better, I think. Generally, it’s best to get the most damage points from a pristine level. Haven’t yet cracked 80k on this one, but, in time….

There is a hidden mango on the blocks holding the chains above the dynamite. I haven’t seen this mentioned elsewhere.

Very nearly one-birdied this using the method in the description, but ended with one cage remaining. If you can get the first red bird to destroy the big box just to the right of the purple bird, the structure will collapse, and can push the rest of the structure over. Even if you dont get the one birder, a yellow bird through the top of the big cage can clear out for 80-85k Best of luck :)

*correction, that should be the big box to the TOP right of the purple bird. Sorry about that!

In fact, ignore that! Play around with both boxes, they both have potential!

Laurence, tried this a few times, and finally everything fell over to the right for a one birder and 87k

Also managed 1-bird solution. First red bird through yellow and purple cages, as well as Large crate to right of purple bird cage. Tower will tilt left with lower pegs taking out the large red and yellow cage causing same effect to rest of stage. Angle will be a bit lower than horizontal.

any tips for the feather?

Use the birds to destroy as much of the first structure as possible, and then drop the sardine can just to the right of the pile of stones that should now be the remains of the left structure. Eagle will come through, TNT should drop and you should get the feather :) Took me 4-5 goes, so best of luck :)

Wow I got 76190 for 3 stars and thought I would get on here and get a score gatherer. Only to find that most of you have finished already. How did you do that. I checked the ap store before going to bed no update. Checked when I woke up and downloaded rio update. Go all the flingers with the new high scores.

By the way we had a fabulous Australia day holiday and it is now the 27th here.

Precisely my strat.The key is to get that TNT to hit the place just left to blue cage.One further note,the TNT will stop shaking after a while.

Got the one bird solution, thanks @psybrat. I waited till the tnt box on the chains to slow down prior to flinging the bird. The challenge was getting some debris to break the structure on the left side to get the yellow bird in the cage. This took some time but it did occur. I suspect it depends on where the tnt box lands in relation to the blue bird in the cage.

Wow! 87,840. 2 Birds. First red as in the video, just a little lower so it doesn’t take out the last towers, but gets the first structure, releasing all birds in the first section, falling into but not toppling all of right structure. Then, yellow bird takes out the hanging TNT. Hit the SINGLE chain, just above where the box is attached, not on the first side of the loop above the single chain. That way the TNT falls straight down instead of swinging to the right, and it will take out all of the two remaining structures, doing serious damage and leaving the 2nd yellow for 10,000 points! What fun that was. Whew. Now, onto the next.

Just an add-on…it helps to wait for the chain to settle before trying to hit that little straight part;)

Didn’t there used to be a link under the video that listed all the walkthroughs for that particular episode ..such as if I was here and clicked it, it would have a list saying 12-1…12-2….12-3….? Ty :) I thought there was?

I think that was there before maybe? But if you click the buttons ‘Next’ and ‘Previous’, it will take you to the next levels walkthoroughs or the previous levels.

Yes, ,, cause where I am trying to improve my scores on different levels the next buton really is a long way to the level I want. And I have been using the breadcrumb trail…but that is kinda the long way also the other way was very convenient.ssry not trying to complain just wondering why it was changed…sure there was a good reason. Srry to question for help:)

No, but you can click in the taxonomy to route. It’s like breadcrumbs:

Home » Walkthroughs » Angry Birds Rio » Walkthroughs » 06. Smugglers’ Plane » Angry Birds Rio Smugglers Plane Walkthrough Level 12-1

@iamMighty Yes, you can use the Next and Previous buttons, but the list goes in order of upload, so it may not always go where you want it to go. For example, “Previous” from this page is Poached Eggs 1-21 since it was the last walkthrough page created before this update landed.

@lesleyg, now here we are at opposite ends, I actually found this level to be the easiest of all that I’ve ever played in AB. Just follow the video (Don’t go by what’s written above the video) and thou shalt have a glorious score to be proud of.
