Unused Levels

This is a sub-page of Angry Birds (iOS).

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically:

  • Look through all the level pack folders found in version 4.3.5 and document them. There's tons of unused levels in them.
    • Maybe have sub-pages for specific versions of the game? (i.e. a sub-page for 4.3.5's unused levels and such.)

Removed Golden Egg Levels#

Two puzzle based Golden Egg levels that were later on replaced with the standard slingshot levels, probably at the same time as the game's release on Windows. They were likely removed due to them requiring you to use two fingers to complete the puzzles, which you of course can't do with a computer screen. Both were replaced with more generic levels involving piles of small pigs and a singular Red at the slingshot.

Golden Egg 5#

Originally, the level featured Red, one of The Blues and Chuck, happily looking up at a realistic-looking eagle character (possibly an early design for the Mighty Eagle). The player had to place two fingers on the eagle's beak to open it up, showing the star inside his beak to finish the puzzle.

Golden Egg 6#

The puzzle originally had a Corporal Pig up close to the screen sleeping, while Red watches unamused. The level was completed by placing two fingers on the Corporal Pig's snout then swiping them apart to cover the pig's eyes, resulting in the Corporal Pig waking up as well as causing his snout to fall off and revealing the star to complete the puzzle.
