The latest update for Angry Birds Rio (v1.4.2) is now available for iOS, Mac, PC, Symbian, and Android via the Amazon Appstore and Android Market, with other platforms coming soon. The update features the remaining 15 levels of Smugglers Plane and includes a bonus surprise: The Orange Bird! That’s right, our expandable new friend managed to book a flight to South America and has joined the fun.
Maybe the biggest news to come with this update is that THIS IS NOT THE END OF RIO! That’s right, this is the epic conclusion of Smugglers Plane, but there will be future updates based on deleted scenes and extras. Want proof? This Tweet from Rovio states, “Last levels of Smuggers’ Plane out, but this is not the end of Rio!” So keep your eyes peeled for news about forthcoming updates! Maybe they’ll even be a second Rio movie, Rio 2. Who knows!
This update includes:
- 15 new levels! The leaderboards and walkthroughs are up!
- 8 new mangoes to find. Refer to our videos if you need help finding them.
- New achievements to be unlocked (iOS only). Many are “hidden” achievements, so be sure to check out our list.
- Another “thrilling” boss fight!
- As said above, the Orange Bird is now available, which means the whole Angry Birds family has made an appearance.
- Pro tip! Try to hit the luggage. It’s worth 5,000 points!
- A new icon has appeared on the “Play” screen. It’s a music note that links to the Rio Samba Single on iTunes. We’re not sure if this link will be there for other platforms, so let us know.
We will be updating this post as our walkthroughs and leaderboards go live, and as the update lands on more platforms, so stay tuned!
Has anybody downloaded the samba song?
Come to think of it.. I never even looked to see if it’s avail on the PC platform yet…
Ok… well, I just now double checked the initial play screen for PC version, there is no music icon to d/l the song.
If you really want to listen to the song, all you need to do is lauch Rio, and the song will autostart.
Or click our link on this page.
I still didn’t get the update.
What platform?
Android market
As the post says,
Android Market is not included in that list. The update may land on Android Market towards the end of this week or beginning of next week.
Whew My angry birds picture database is complete all i need is the seasons golden eggs pictures and then it will be complete.
what do we get for getting 3 star in angry birds rio .I had got 3 star in everything for ABO.
A star added to the trophy. If your on iOS, then you gain an achievement. That’s pretty much it…
i guess the boss battle is Nigel with a new special ability to walk and to fly; do you have any walk throughs for it?
Can’t walk.
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/angry-birds-rio-smugglers-plane-walkthrough-level-12-15/
but i see it in the angry birds rio AngryBirdsRio/Data/images/pc/ingame birds 1 see it for yourself
Perhaps unused data? Don’t have PC, sorry…
Have PC and I checked the file you were talking about but the legs are only present for Nigel and Blu but not any other bird.
the latest cutscene could be a hint for the upcoming episode … could the piggies be introduced ? pure speculation :-)
in that if u see there is photo for the mighty eagle which has not been used.so in an angry birds pc version it has all the images required by all the versions but are not used in PC.so the code of mighty eagle may be there in the data files.(just speculating)
Data files are universal across all platforms. The Mighty Eagle is in PC’s data files because the Mighty Eagle exists on iOS. That’s pretty much the only reason.
if angry birds rio is not finished, what will the final level/episode be?
Still not known, have to wait.
Any idea when it will come?
Nope :( But soon :)
Well the smugglers plane episode proves that in every version of game the pigs have stolen the eggs and the angry birds have taken back ehat is rightfully theirs
A bit off topic, Rovio is massively hiring now. Many updates to come and maybe a new game is on the drawing board …
how you came to know about it?
It is on Rovio’s home page
I have the PC version but still no update.
Where did you get the app from? Rovio’s shop, or AppUp?
Rovio’s shop
You can go to download.angrybirds.com and download the new Rio “Demo” file. Installing the new .exe should update your version of the app without disrupting your progress.
Thanks so much for your help! I got the updates for Rio and Seasons.
That does not work at all. I installed it 3 times and still no update.
Not sure what version you are looking for or what version you are currently running.
I added a credit file that gives credit it says:I give credit for Angry Birds Nest for these images.
Still don’t understand.
I’m really sorry about taking your thumbnails Should i still delete them.
Nah, it’s fine. But I just don’t see why you need thumbs of every level.
Wait a sec, where are you using our thumbnails?
I’m using them on a file on my computer called Angry birds level pictures I also made a credit file for giving you credit for the thumbnails. Should I delete it or not?
If it’s just for your personal use then that’s fine. If you plan on distributing it then, no, as you’d be violating Rovio’s copyright.
I will not distruibute it i promise.
Hey slim, a random question. What website builder do you use. I want to change my sites builder because they close too often. You don’t have to answer if you prefer not to.
Hi Bob, I do most of the development on ABN by hand in PHP using WordPress as the underlying framework.
Thanks, signed up.
Oh,really?
Thought it was FujiToast.
FujiToast is the walkthrough creator of the site.
Fuji does most of the video walkthroughs. BirdLeader is the head honcho.
Having managed to collect the final fruit in Smugglers’ Plane (and therefore Rio) my ipad crashed and I seem to have lost all of the fruit awards although all the 3 stars and acheivements are still there. Any ideas (although it will be quite fun to find all the fruit again!)
All the 3-stars are still in-game? Then hopefully you are still in good shape. Just a hiccup in your settings file.
For me i want to see the last cutscene
What about a gallery. Like the walkthroughs page, the forum, the update page and the store page. There Slim and BL can post picture like this .
We have galleries already, but these little tidbits are created for posting on Facebook and Twitter.
I was at Rovio’s site today…it stated that android market has the update, but my market doesn’t have it. I am setup for automatic update also. If I get it from amazon I will be starting from scratch, correct?
When Rovio says android, it doesn’t necessarily mean the Android market. In this case, it means Amazon.
Thanks. If I get it from amazon, do I start from scratch?
I’m not really sure, but I think you would get two separate ABR apps. (one from Android and one from Amazon)
That’s what I thought. I like your new avatar.
Android Market should receive the update by the end of this week, I have heard. It’s not a guarantee, but that is likely when they will submit the update for approval.
If you install the Amazon version of the app, it should overwrite your existing app and maintain your progress.
So, would you do that, or just sit tight at this point? By the way, would you like a glass of lemonade? :)
I would wait for the Android Market update because the only version of ABR on Amazon is $0.99.
It’s up to you. You pay $.99 for the Amazon version, but it is ad-free and comes 1 week earlier. With the news that there will be future updates, it may be worthwhile. On the other hand, you will only have to wait a few more days for Market.
It’s not the money that’s the issue, it’s the progress. :)
Has anyone else noticed that the Total Score in iOS Game Center stopped updating with this release?
If I look at top score for today or this week, it does update and shows my current score minus the Golden Beachball levels, which is still less than the Total Score I had when it included those levels. I wonder if they fixed the scoring to not send the Golden Beachball level scores and since my score without them is less than it was, it just doesn’t change it. That’s purely speculation though.
If so, it could mean that the ‘not the end of Rio’ could just be opening up those levels to everyone, and then they’ll start resending those scores again?
Not sure about the last part. I don’t think it will simply open the Golden Beachball levels to everyone.
Same here – I can’t see any changes in scoring since the latest version – in my screen Manu Malin sits pegged at 20,274,850 and I’m stuck at 18,057,090 – something is buggered.
I know. But can you post the picture here at ABN because I don’t have Facebook or Twitter.
You can see a twitter feed in the chatter.
Also, you don’t need a Twitter account to view our tweets.
Ok. That is good. Sorry for don’t use the reply button.
when is it coming for us Mac users???
Should be soon, but Rovio does not typically release dates for updates.
Sorry a bit off topic…
The Chinese New Year is near over, but still don’t have any update notification on my Nokia phone…I really angry it!!!! >^<
I mean the AB Seasons Year of the Dragon…
The same for me (Nokia C7/Symbian) ;-( Both updates (Rio and Seasons) are still not available. That’s really sad.
Really want to change it to iPhone…
Sorry, we don’t know when Nokia’s update will land.
Abo got an update!!!!
Already noted here.
I see
ABo just got click gamer update 2.0.2 for game center
iOS iPhone is asking me to update this version from iTunes apps.
Did you read the thread linked above you?
Update for RIO just hit the android market
I just got it also. I checked about 2 hours ago (7:30 eastern) and it was not available. Just checked again and it was.
Downloaded, installed and just starting the new levels. WOO HOO!
Good news. Have update Rio now.
Rovio just released Rio 1.4.2 for mac :D
Thanks sal. Adding to post and log.
One notable change with this update is the setting and highscores files location for those transferring their progress.
It’s no longer in the Applicationsupport/Rovio/AngryBirdsRio folder.
The new location is Applicationsupport/com.rovio.mac.AngryBirdsRio folder.
Hrm, interesting. Wonder why they renamed the folder. In any case, hopefully Mac users can figure this out as they go. I assume most Mac users are savvy enough to find it :)
It’s actually, from what I gathered, a more reliable way of coding the file path, much more stable.
Mac users are primadonnas lol … they never look under the hood.
The Rio Samba Single button is not on the Android Market version.
OMG, there’s no posts since 26th january!! what has happend?
There’s an update for ABO. It says it’s just some minor improvements.
This was noted on the updates log :)
It’s been a slow week. I guess next week we’ll get some more detail on ABFB App)
Yeah, I actually bit the bullet and created a facebook account for myself in anticipation.
An example of a deleted scene:”Fruit Stand”.
Does you see the deleted scene on the Rio movie?
Why would they call it a deleted scene? Cause it’s deleted from the movie!
Wasn’t there already a fruit stand scene in Rio?
http://lantern.angrybirds.com/
Woot!
Interesting! I’m investigating now. Thanks Mighty (and Lamia)
puzzle game, when you match the images you get a new video.
Yup. I’ll draft a quick post and include the correct image combination.
Matching the golden koi will direct you to a new video
Wow, thats fast!
Rovio sure does know how to keep their users engaged ;)
