Our non-Power Up strategy for Playground Level #3 is to speed one Yellow bird into the wooden structure above, dropping boulders onto the marmosets below. Fling one more Yellow bird into the wooden structure that remains. The score in the video below is 99,030.
Important Note: Gamers on mobile devices are given unlimited Power Ups in the Playground episode, to practice and hone their skills. However, since not all devices are given this option, please abide by our policy of NO Power Up scores on ABN Leaderboards. Questionable scores entered without written strategy may be removed.
1 bird. Up to the top right. Hit it low so the rocks fly farther to the left, taking out the first structure.
1 birder, upper right structure. Stones fell further left than normal and got everything.
One bird.
Yellow must hit up the mountain side and impact exactly where the wood horizontal and stone vertical meet (actually just under this).
This allows the wood horizontal to tip over and the stones above it will spill further to the left than they would otherwise.
If lucky, one of the stones will break the wood horizontal over the bottom left chimp.
If this happens the whole left side structure can collapse, yielding a one birder.
Got a 1 birder, just like you described. Just not as good a score. 113k
I was doing like @playdbird above, but my scores were usually around 112k, WHEN I managed a 1-birder. My best was 114k

Frustrated, I then tried aiming for the square block. Hit from the right angle, the vertical block above will drop down, then push the stones over to the right. I had more consistent 1-birders this way, and I finally got above 114k.

I am only at 115k now, but I am liking the second trajectory better.
Arg. Stones to the LEFT!
120k similar to @bonneypattycat ‘s second video. Picture of trajectory:

I see that the questionable previous top score was removed, and @comex666 and @catsnbirds has received puppies. Congrats! I beat the previous legit top score too, so I hereby apply for another puppy! (See pic above).
Thanks for letting me know @gladvold. Your new puppy is being groomed right now and will be ready soon! Congrats to you!
@sweetp @gladvold Thanks! I didn’t know that I had earned a puppy. Comments that @comex666 and I had entered for this walkthrough seem to have disappeared?
@catsnbirds Sorry about that. We have restored comments related to strategy, though removed some of the superfluous comments about the prior-illegitimate score.
@bonneypattycat thanks for the video.
The challenge brings more than it looks like. I never played this series of Rio games, didn’t even know they existed. This is great. New Rio’s just for me!
Did the same strategy of hitting the wood block. More consistent destruction of the left side structure with the stones. Thanks @bonneypattycat.
I find it quite frustrating to see the stone blocks, especially the big one, disintegrate from falling through the air – without even a hint of a contact to anything…
What has worked best for me (PC) is to hit the large block; if fortunate, the vertical small board will stay together – ‘landing’ on ‘Chuck’/Yellow bird. Depending on Chuck’s rotation/position when the board *falls* toward the left – Chuck & the board (together) act as a ‘springboard’ for the rocks — & when they get far enough, scores are more fun.

@onlooker Hersy Highway, your score is so…… much higher than #2, would you please verify it was without the PU mentioned in the Walkthrough NOTE as not allowed.
@admins, would you please check this score; 2 out of 5 TopScore in Playground, no comments or pics, no other Top Scores just seems a little too unlikely.
@onlooker, would you please provide us with a screenshot of your score? Also describe your strategy on how you got such an awesome score. Thank you very much!
@admins
@justpast40 @sweetp Thanks, scores were removed.
@justpast40
is possible, the tower in front must fall down, not to the left or right.
@bonneypattycat
like the second video, THX………
when you see the video (only 120K) and you see the rest, ohnoooooo

Wow! Like @bonneypattycat ‘s second video. Though I had a good score, then the final marmoset died and the score really racked up.
Please go to my album to see the screen dumps on my results in the Play Ground. BTW powerups are those that are in the powerups bar and also that you pay for, FYI, I have not ever bought such so-called powerups. Thanks for your concern hope we can close this one for now.
@justpast40
@sweetp
no PU?
