No, it's not shooting pigs at birds, mind you[[labelnote:*]]although there will be plenty of that in ''Angry Birds Franchise/StarWars II'' -- the King Pig mode in the original ''Angry Birds'' doesn't count since you're shooting at eggs[[/labelnote]].

* SequelDifficultySpike: Many people consider this as being more difficult than ''VideoGame/AngryBirds'', as some screens are impossible to complete unless you come to a specific realisation. On the other hand, once you get the right intellectual idea, it's usually easier to win your stars than on some of ''Angry Birds''' harder and more luck-based screens.

* AllJustADream: The "From Tusk Til Dawn" Halloween level ends with the pig waking up.

* ExactWords: It's possible to win a NoDamageRun star if your vehicle reaches the finish point undamaged, even if it's flying through the air at the time and smashes to pieces when it hits. There's at least one screen in the third level where this is the only way of winning.

* LevelAte: "From Tusk Til Dawn" has settings made out of food.

* ShoutOut: The Halloween 2013 update gives the pig an assortment of Halloween masks, including references to ''Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs'' and ''Franchise/FridayThe13th''. Also, the Halloween level is called "[[Film/FromDuskTilDawn From Tusk Til Dawn]]".

** As of the fourth update, power-ups are now available (specifically, glue that holds the vehicle together, a magnet that attracts Star Boxes and desserts, and a turbo-engine that makes your engine even faster), as well as a "Super Mechanic" that builds a vehicle that allows you to earn a level's three stars more easily.

* {{Crossover}}: With the episode "Red's Mighty Feathers" in the original game, where Red defends a lone egg from pigs in various contraptions.

* PowerUpMagnet: You can buy a litteral one to attact Star Boxes and desserts.

* PowerUpMagnet: You can litterally buy one to attact Star Boxes and desserts.

No, it's not shooting pigs at birds, mind you.

** As opposed to AngryBirds, where rolling slightly off-place can kill them.

* ViolationOfCommonSense: Some of the easiest victories involve machines that would make little to no sense if it weren't the pigs driving them. For example, packing TNT, complete with manual detonator, on board for extra propulsion.

* EasyLevelTrick: [[spoiler:There's at least one screen where you can get three stars simply by putting your pig on a slope with no vehicle and letting him roll all the way down the screen under gravity.]]

* TimeTrial: The "Road Hogs" mode.

The first update added a third level in which your pig actually is [[MacGuffinEscortMission carrying a stolen egg]] across the screen.

** Also brings up the lack of birds...

* TheCameo: The blue birds make a short appearance in a cutscene.

* DemotedToExtra: The birds, so far. They're ''nowhere'' to be seen in the first two levels, but occasionally appear sleeping as scenery in the third.
** FridgeHorror potential in the trailer: it shows the King Pig as much older and the scenery has been reduced to rubble, implying that all the birds, and many of the pigs, were wiped out in a massive war with the pigs.
** This would explain the skulls wearing familiar mustaches and helmets...

* WideOpenSandbox: The appropriately named "Sand Box" level does have some stars to collect in its individual screens, but is mostly designed to let you build crazy vehicles and practice driving/flying them around.

* TheCameo: The blue birds make a short appearance in a cutscene.

* BackstoryHorror: When you notice that some of the skulls have Wehrmacht helmets or red moustaches, like some pigs in ''Angry Birds''.

* OffModel: More so in their strength then their looks; The pigs in ''Angry Birds'' die even by rolling slightly out of place, but now the pigs can fall a long way after crashing the vehicle, and they're just fine.
** Unless you count the tiny tuft of hair(?) you can only see in the title screen and freckles, which the pigs have never had before.

* UpToEleven: The pigs in ''Angry Birds'' die even by rolling slightly out of place, but now the pigs can fall a long way after crashing the vehicle, and they're just fine.

* LuckBasedMission: The physics engine is not 100% replicable, so sometimes whether you win a screen or not depends on which way the pig bounces.

* DemotedToExtra: The birds. In fact, they're ''nowhere'' to be seen.
