Hmmm…Rio has a new #1 ranked player! Please check on this.
Dealt. Thanks.
Man, it’s been a long time since I played Rio, and now just trying to get the scores up a little higher, has me Huffing & Puffing like the Big Bad Wolf, trouble is, this WereWolf has a lot less puff and a lot more huff.
Hi @amslimfordy the top score in Rio BB2 is clearly not attainable ,probably just entered in wrong spot
Look like they entered all their Golden Beachball scores in the wrong place, #2 and #8 are first place scores and the rest are very very far off the average scores.
Jctink put his scores in wrong spot for sure.
Thanks. I couldn’t figure out where they belonged, so I removed them.
When in doubt…delete.
True, but when someone has so many scores entered, I like to try to find where they belong if they are out of place.
I didn’t chech his other scores ,are they far of Beach volleyball?
Didn’t seem to match.
Missing Rio now… Any news about next update theme?
I have noticed that 3* min scores have increased in several levels along with seasons and ABO.. has the leaderboard been adjusted ? I dont see a post about this but then i havent checked every where. When i say increased i mean in game.. and the thing is i had them all 3* and the awards etc done which still show done but the front screen shows several levels at 1 or 2 stars only.
The leaderboards are usually only adjusted when it is brought to the admins attention. Most of the times when these min scores are increased it goes unnoticed until someone like yourself happens to lose a star. If you ever see this happen feel free to post that the score has changed and they will adjust it accordingly.
min three star threshold are linked to the walkthrough pages I believe.
Which levels are you referring to?
Thanks
ps: this is the AB Rio page ;)
To my knowledge, this has only happened thrice:
1) Rio > Carnival Upheaval 8-5: minimum 3-star scores was accidentally raised to an impossible standard. This was later fixed and returned to the original threshold, so nothing ever changed on the leaderboards. We did (read: do) have this listed in the Bug List.
2) O > Poached Eggs ?-?: Sorry, the number alludes my mind at the minute. I think 3-5 or so. Anyways, the one with the single hut with ~6TNT inside and the whole thing goes boom when you break a bird through the ice roof. That was changed in one update and then returned to the original after a few complaints. Sorry for the vagueness in this one.
3) Seasons > Piglantis 2-9: This threshold has (currently) been raised from 100k to 102k. Rovio has been informed and they will likely return it to the original score. In the meantime, our leaderboard says 102k, as it is the current threshold.
@BirdLeader @Amslimfordy I dont know where to post this ..srry
is there a list of rio fruits corresponding with episode? Just for reference

Wow, I’ve managed to increase my total score for Airfield Chase by over 300k and I haven’t finished yet, @manu malin, I’m gunning for you.
I’ve finally managed to raise my scores in Airfield Chase, Smuggler’s Plane and Smuggler’s Den, so far, no record holders need worry, yet. I’ve still got 3 more chapters to go and the Trophy Room where my scores are so dismal that I cry whenever I see them.
I’m not a jealous person or whatever but I think @changran should enter all his scores on Rio to be on the total leaderboard I mean u cannot be a one world wonder forever, like who knows huh ;-)
Said user only has the “Rio Free” app, that’s why. Since his GBB scores appear there, I have removed them from here.
oh ok it has been on the leaderboard for quite a while now so i thought i’d mention it still great scoring @changran sorry and respect :-)
Sure. I only has Rio Free. It is OK for me to remove it from Rio list.
After 200* flings, and placing the blue bird every place it will go, I’m of the opinion that just closing your eyes and flinging where ever it goes, then dealing with whatever is left is as sane a strat as any. But with my score, I certainly can’t be seen as the best judge of that! Anyone out there found anything remotely repeatable?
Is 129k possible on level 2-13?
I can’t understand how it’s possible to get 99k before counting the points for the three spare birds.
Doesn’t seem legit to me.
I believe it’s OK. @iamMighty is a very well-respected user.
Why is my score on here different to my overall score on the Game Centre? Has anybody else noticed this?
The scores on this site are entered manually by you and are not automatically updated. I’m not familiar with the Game Centre, I use a PC.
I don’t believe GameCenter includes Golden Beachball.
The score on here seems to be correct, but on GC I have 300,000 more points! I was wondering where those extra points came from.
GameCenter is notoriously buggy. Not much I can say beyond that. Besides we think our leaderboards are better :)
Most definitely. The top scores on GameCenter are numbers that make the US National Debt look puny by comparison!
The Game Center Total Score includes all the Star Bonus levels in each chapter. I think the overall score on this site is just the total for all chapters, but does not include the Star Bonus levels within each chapter.
WOW!!! Thank you to everyone on here who has posted tips… With everyone’s help I went from an overall standing of 484 to being 97 as I re-did the whole carnival upheavel level! I love this site! :-) I hope everyone else has this much success as well! :-)
@AMslimfordy, will the team be posting the RIO extra 6 bonus levels at some point? The new levels earned from getting at least 10 ME Feathers (they are the black ball with stars)? I’ve looked in a few areas on AB Next and don’t seem them references except for the mention in the RIO Release update. Thanks!
All of our 3-star walkthroughs are live.
Thanks. Yes, I just saw where they are located at the bottom of the RIO Bonus Leaderboard. Sorry. I didn’t notice them down there before I posted. ;-)
No problem-o!
Short of sounding like the village idiot, are there any plans to release “Golden Beachball” to the general population. Not everyone is willing to spend $20+ on a cartoon. I’ve also heard that the code is no longer packaged with the DVD. Also, I see mention of “Eagle Bonus Levels” and “Star Bonus Levels.” Assuming that the Eagle levels has something to do with the Mighty Eagle, another piece to the puzzle I don’t have, and the Star levels probably have to do with total stars in Rio. Where can I find these levels? @amslimfordy
I don’t have any information regarding the Golden Beachball levels. You would have to ask Rovio.
The “Eagle Bonus Levels” will not be available for those platforms which do not have the Mighty Eagle, I assume.
Thanks @AMslimfordy. I guess I’ll not worry about them for now, my plate is pretty full now.
Ok. I feel like a dork. Just found the golden basketball level while logging in my scores. Merry Christmas to me!
@AMslimfordy, is the score of 108890 even possible on Carnival Upheaval 8-15 by normal methods(without power-ups)? I have tried every strategy available on this site but nothing seems to yield that high score. Always stuck at 65-66K.
Yes it is.
That level has been known to self destruct and sometimes the yield is unobtainable by normal means. The following link is a forum thread that tracks those levels. Scroll down to ABR and it’s the 2nd & 3rd entries. Levels of damage vary

Happy birdslinging new year to all of you!
I cannot express how impressed I am with the honesty the users on angrybirdsnest have shown, what with the power-ups being “legalized” in angry birds rio. After I discovered I had access to power-ups, I thought for sure that I was going to drop deep down on the scoreboard for Smuggler Den(I even found myself very frustrated, knowing that the screen might not show the difference between scores achieved with power-ups and those achieved without power-ups).
Is the crew at Rovio thinking about changing this, so that a screenshot would show whether or not power-ups were utilized?
Thanks to all of you for fair-play and keep up your good game!
Happy squawking New Year to you, as well!
We are not aware of whether Rovio is considering adding a visual distinction between scores obtained with our without Power Ups. We sincerely hope that such as system is being developed, but we have no reports from Rovio confirming or denying it.
@amslimfordy, do I need to purchase the Mighty Eagle to collect the 10 feathers to unlock the bonus levels in the latest update to AB Rio, or am I missing something? Thanks very much!
Yes, the Mighty Eagle is the only way to obtain feathers.
Thanks again and Happy New Year!
@amslimfordy, just curious, how could you tell if a score entered is not achieved by using Power-Up?
If I suspect any Power Up entry, I would request a copy of their data files to verify the score.
Thanks, AMslimfordy. Some scores here look incredibly high to me – though I will study those levels a bit more before raising them to you.
You’re probably embarking on a massive waste of time @hkg. Sometimes those high scores are achieved by incredible strokes of good luck. I’ve done it myself a couple times, and once one person does it, others try to surpass it. They are usually successful.
I think in general I can tell whether a level (of AB Rio) requires mostly skill, mostly luck, or a more balanced mix of the two — and hence whether luck alone can explain some very high scores. In fact, if you look at a level’s leaderboard and find that the top positions are populated by top notch players like manu, bluevertigo et al, then you can almost be certain that for that particular level, skill is the most important factor.
Thanks for that recognition @hkg. Im glad there are people like you that know when scores are too high.
@amslimfordy, I can advise that for Jungle Escape Star #5, the current high score of 95950 is not achievable provided that (a) Power-Up is not used and (b) there is no system glitch, subject to the following assumptions:
(1) the level is stable ie, 0-birder is not possible
(2) the 8 pieces of stones remain intact. I will come back to this later as this is not important.
To estimate the amount of materials, I tried to play the game using all three birds. I spent two hours and the maximum I got was 68500 (ie, if one can achieve that amount of damage with just one bird, he would get a total score of 88500).
I also tried to estimate the amount of materials in each of two structure. The right structure can be pinned down almost exactly at 19000. For the left structure, I could manage a maximum of 50000 and judging from the debris, I can say with much confidence that it cannot be more than 54000. Putting together, this means all materials (excluding 8 pieces of stones) is worth 73000. If one can do it with one bird, he has a score of 93000, still short of the current high score of 95950. And don’t forget, this assumes one can wipe out everything (except stones) with just one bird — this in itself is already unrealistic.
To destroy stones, one either have to direct the green bird into the pile of three small stones, or use focussed efforts of all three birds. But the price of doing so is lots of woods remain undamaged, leading to suboptimal scores. Hence stones are out of the equation here.
From a holistic point of view, this is a simple level, and the standard treatment is one-birder, with both the boulder and the bird roll to the ground and destroy things on their way. There are limited alternative strategies and all of them are visibly inferior.
I hope the above information help.
The user has a screenshot verifying the score was done without power-ups.
I tend to agree with HKG and the score doesn’t seem to be possible. Maybe another case of double birds counting.
@amslimfordy, may I ask if you consider that the score is valid, and therefore no further action is needed?
I can look into it more.
HI @hkg ,I have only just come back to try and up my scores on the Bonus levels ,and spent an hour or so using all birds on this particular level and then adding 20k ,and completely agree ,.i acually had the high score at 80,060 albeit very early on ,back to 35 now ,which is fine when you are talking about a few thousend points ,.But 15k ,i dont think so.
I will be curious to see where ppl are overall in Rio when the dust settles .Having said that Rio is where i got hooked and its amazing how familiar u become with every nook and cranny of so many levels and even how a particular player will score on a given level ,and as long as ppl like yourself and countless others i think atleast in the nest there will not be many bad scores getting through the cracks …:)
When I started to play the Bonus levels, I thought maybe it’s time to test how far I could go. So I gave myself an ‘objective’: ranks within 10 for each level, and within 5k of the top scorer.
I always use manu as the reference (well, he is the top player!). So when I reached 95k for Smugglers Plane Star #18 (when manu’s score was 97k), I thought it was good enough so I moved on to other levels. However some times later Rockland got 101k. Because of my own ‘pledge’ and that I trust his score is achievable, I set out to beat his score. And I finally came up with a beautiful strategy that gave me 106k! I was really really pleased with myself. The moral of this story is if it was not Rockland who got 101k, but some other lesser known/credible individual, I would not spend as much time as I was to improve my score, and I probably never came up with that strategy, and the leaderboard would be a little bit less competitive. I hope my score would inspire someone to beat me — this type of positive competition is where the real fun is.
So in my view a bad score affects not only the fairness, but also indirectly, how much fun we get from our play.
@amslimfordy, this is one of the very few levels where one can determine a cap to the maximum score. For the majority of levels, no form of analysis can disprove a high score because of the probabilistic nature of the game. I therefore hope you can reconsider this case.
Personally, there is no compelling reason for me to pursue further on this, since the score has no effect on my position at either the episode or the total score level. Having said that, I hope I can contribute and help make this a fair platform for all contestants here.
Thanks again.
Hey @amslimfordy, I don’t know if you’re the right person to ask but I just noticed that I don’t have the Golden Beachball episode in RIO. Is this a separate purchase or something because I don’t have it in RIO or RIO HD. I’m sorry if this isn’t the place to ask but I can’t find anywhere else to pose the question. Also, how do I acquire these levels if they weren’t just normal updates?
Thanks in advance of a response.
@redzym Our glossary has a link, I believe, with all the details you’ll likely need.
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/about/glossary/#episode-guide
Since you’re on an iPad, if the Golden Beachball levels haven’t shown up, it’s probably due to the fact that you havent captured the beachball. It’s under the slingshot on Beach Volley level 6-13.
Thank you so much @amslimfordy and @truckdriver. I now have the levels and am very happy once again, especially since RIO has become my absolute fav AB game.
@amslimfordy it seems someone is using power-ups on Smugglers Den episode
@crivit Can you send me a PM with more info please? I’d appreciate it.
@amslimfordy I know Market Mayhem is fairly new, without a lot of users entering scores, so how valuable is it to flag a score that seems suspicious? I’m not talking about wildy out-of-whack scores but rather ones that are 6-10k above everyone else. Do you need some time to pass or more scores in to be able to judge maximum score range on a level? There are very few comments from top scorers on the walkthroughs or screenshots posted for verification. I don’t want to waste your time checking flagged scores when it’s really too early on to tell if it could be legit. Thanks.
No harm at all. :) @karen68
I am not sure if levels 13-12, 14-6 are among those that you feel suspicious. If that’s the case, I have no problem providing evidence to support my (current) top scores.
Been playing angrybirds for quite some time now – and was always content just to 3 star levels. Now that I’ve joined here and see all these high scores it gives me new goals to work for. Love it!
@amslimfordy, I’m getting crazy of these ads for the tnt (those powerups). Could we ask Rovio to build in a switch to get gid of this stuff? And even to get rid of the icon next to the eagle icon as well?
@bernersenn You’re welcome to send any suggestions you have to Rovio.
