Angry Birds Rio Smugglers Plane Walkthrough Level 17 (12-2)

The best strategy for Smugglers’ Plane level 12-2 is to launch the White bird into the gap just above the red caged bird. Bombing within should clear the vast majority of the level. If necessary, loft the Boomerang bird over the main structure and spin him back into any remaining cages.

Lob white bird far to the right.., u want to come in just to the right of the highest crate… Then explode it so the deflated mama bird takes out the highest arch… Or, more specifically, the two tiny square sand blocks holding up the arch.

Definitely more points to be had as other strats sometimes yield better results (eg white bird low, straight at main structure, drop egg to destroy leftmost vertical stone block on the bottom, deflated bird sometimes bounces and takes out the whole left side… After that, though, I’m not sure how to best use the next bird.). The strat above works for an easy 3 stars as the threshhold is only 76k or 77k

Great strategy, loox! I got it with one bird. 82290. I tried a higher arc, dropped the bomb just past the top box (on top of the two small wood pieces). It seemed to make the top level crumble more, and brought it all down to free all the birds.
I tried the other strategy-bringing white bird in low and destroying left side, but I agree with you- not sure what to do with the green bird. Thanks for helping me improve my score.

Using Loox’s strategy for the first bird. Found for me best way to use the green bird is to go over the top and come back to take out and push the top left arched piece back to the left destroying some of the boxes on the left. Regularly gives 85k and often 88-89.

Thanks loox!

First bird exactly as you described, landing just to the right of the highest crate. Squeezed bird in there and dropped egg just over fat vertical wood piece just to left of top red bird.

If you explode it just right, it takes out everything on the right side (upper and lower). I had only left yellow bird remaining.

Second bird, launched just over what was left and looped back to take out the last yellow bird.

Must be a one birdie in here if tried long enough.

Think I used the Loox strategy. Had been flinging so long I’m not sure what happened but the top shelf dropped like a rock and took out everything. Had just been reading Loox’s post and had been trying to master it so I suppose it worked. Took a screenshot of the trajectory but don’t know how to post it. Tried to paste it here but it didn’t work. Sorry

Used the same one bird strategy thanks @loox but found that using two birds produced more points with the second going over the top of the structure and coming in where the yellow bird in the cage sits. Hit the top of the cage and push the arch to the left.

Just like what sal9 said, be patient. These videos would come up soon so don’t worry…

loox’s method is the one I’ve been using, and I have 85k with it.

One interesting thing about this level, if you fire the white bird between the 2nd and 3rd from bottom stone squares on the bottom arc WITHOUT dropping bomb, it can go all the way through taking out the three bottom cages! Doesn’t really benefit much, but great fun to watch! I guess a very well aimed RRS would get you 3 stars, but unlikely to get high scores :)

One of those levels where I got a higher score using a second bird. I got a one birder, but it was only worth around 77,000. Hmmmm….

I used wb to land to just right of the top right crate , get in low and it took all out with this one bird for a score of 81930… Haven’t posted yet cuz I think I can do better!

Find I get better destruction if I drop egg just before the crate on top. Egg drop takes out the yellow and blue birds, and the white bird still has enough energy to push over the top structure to take out remaining birds.

I haven’t yet farmed this for points, but right away I’m getting higher scores.

Absolutely! Quickly went to 86 k with this strategy. Thanks!

Great! Stuk at 79000 for a long time using Loox’ strategy. Now 91000 in one go with yours!

Simply throw white bird under the highest arch, and activate when it’s at the base of the arch. Takes a few tries to work, but everything should come down eventually and destroy all cages

By Kathyd721

81,430 one bird just like the video but broke all cages leaving me with two birds remaining.

It’s not a new strategy :) but only a half strategy to get much easy ~5k points.
How it works. First drop the egg after the crate, somewhere at the join between the two upper big concrete slabs. Sometime it’s enough for all birds, but with only about 61k points, a total of 81k. Sometimes the leftmost yellow bird remain alive. In this case I used the green bird and launched back in order to touch only a little bit the cage ant after this, to push the arc of wood and stone to the left over the mango and crates. This cause a total about 85 k points.

Did it with the 1-Birder twice, the first time it only gave me 74k and the second time, posted above. I believe that higher scores can be achieved using 2 Birds, will keep trying.

Just as I said, a 2-Birder gives better scores, just make sure when you loft the Boomerang Bird, keep him at a low arc trajectory and click the moment he starts his downward fall.

I think both can lead to 98k if you drop the egg tight before the large crate. This way you always have a chance of pulling a @remi3241 reverse 2nd shot under the platform into the woods on the right side for nice extra points. My best first shot was 47k with 3 cages left but I think above 50k is possible. This is not my strat but I think it should be mentioned on here.

Thanks @crivit! @lowergravity above also mentioned better results dropping the egg before the crate. I never did break 90k dropping the egg to the right of the crate so I gave the left side a try. It took about fifty tries before I finally managed 91k with two birds.
