Angry Birds Rio bonus levels no codes needed for iOS
  • Here's the deal. The DVD is out on August 9... BUT if you preorder the movie via iTunes (on any device), you can't download the whole movie yet, but you can download exclusive bonus material, including a music video, and other stuff tha I just ignored.
    Here are the steps:
    1. Pre purchase RIO movie in HD or SD from idevice already connected to your account. (the standard definition movie is 14.99)
    2. Allow the download to finish.
    2a. Remember, the download is NOT the Movie, itself. Rather it is an approx, 324MB file containing the bonus material.
    3. Go to iTunes on your PC or MAC and download the "RIO (2011) - itunes extras" movie, as it's called. Note... Those of us who have enabled automatic downloads in iTunes 10.4 will already have the RIO Extra Content entry under their Movies playlist.
    4. Click on, and open the movie file. A music video will start. And keep playing over and over. Sit through it...
    5. Or not... When you're done watching the video, click on the arrows in the upper right of the screen. This brings up a menu to PLAY (which u can't do til the 9th), SCENES, EXTRAS, and MORE,
    6. Click "extras" (possibly twice if that damn music video started again) and a wooden menu appears.
    7. Click on the last option on the bottom, entitled "Angry Birds Rio Unlock More".
    8.... You're almost done. Here you are given a visual "clue" as to how to unlock the secret levels.
    8a... You are also given a "note" telling you the level on which the secret clue can be found.... Search the level, find the clue, and .... Well, the rest is easy.
    8b... Importantly, this screen contains "instructions" in addition to the "clue" and the "note". These instructions have 3 steps, step 1 being the most important.

    Instruction step 1 says to download or open any one of AB-Rio, AB-Rio Free, or AB-Rio HD, meaning the levels can be found in all three versions of AB-Rio, so AB-Rio Free fans can rejoice!
    Instruction step 2 tells you to open level X or Y, depending on whether or not you have the Free or Paid version of the game.
    Instruction step 3 tells you how to use the clue on that particular level, but I am not going to.

    Let's just say that no code was needed.... No update was needed.... I just open Rio HD, went where I was told... Found the clue, and worked it out. 3 minutes later, i accomplished my task and a new bonus level appeared at the very right of the main screen (past the coming soon screens to the right of carnival upheaval).

    But most important of all... I started playing level 1 and figured out how to get three stars... So I scampered over here to learn that *gasp* there is no forum set up on ABsNest to discuss what is about to become a late night for me. As for tomorrow, I think I feel a cold coming on *cough cough* and may have to leave work early...

    Here's hoping the Walkthrough boards are up by then. After spending the weekend entering high scores for AB HD, AB Free, AB Seasons (my fav) and AB Rio HD one at a time, by hand, making my loser quotient shoot through the rough! ... I'm ready to provide leader board scores as I complete levels.

  • You don't actually have to purchase anything to unlock the levels on iOS or Android devices, but you do need the DVD or Blu-ray to unlock the levels on PC or Mac (pending an update). We have a thorough write-up, instructions for all platforms, and a video of the "secret spot" in this post:

  • I wondered about that... Didn't know if the purchase somehow unlocked it or if anyone could just hit the "secret spot". Oh well, I guess if I ever get really bored I can now watch RIO whenever I want. *sigh*
  • Yeah, great write-up btw! Really appreciated.
