* AllForNothing: The pigs' double effort to retrieved the map of the eggs' location is completely pointless [[spoiler: once they found out the telescope they using is painted with eggs by the Blues, much to King Pig's anger]]. Additionally, when they finally manage to get away from the birds with one egg in their possession, [[spoiler: said egg is just a white-painted rock, which is also a prank made by the Blues]].

** The robot pig's design appears to take an inspiration from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''.

The long-rumoured POVSequel & spin-off to ''VideoGame/AngryBirds'' finally came out in September 2012 for iOS and Android pads and phones (but not some phones since it's too complicated for them).

No, it's not shooting pigs at birds, mind you[[labelnote:*]]although there's 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]].

The first update added a third episode called "Flight In The Night", where [[VillainProtagonist your pig actually is]] [[MacGuffinEscortMission carrying a stolen egg]] across the screen. The second update features [[HeroAntagonist the Angry Birds themselves]][[labelnote:Note]]Red, The Blues & Chuck are the only birds appearing in the game[[/labelnote]], who would fling themselves at you [[StealthBasedMission when you wake them up by making too much noises]]. They eventually become a recurring obstacles in the future episodes such as "Tusk Till' Dawn" & "The Road to El Porkado", even when your pig didn't steal their eggs at all.

On April 2014, the game received an animated adaptation called [[WesternAnimation/PiggyTales Piggy Tales]], where the series focused on Minion Pigs as they doing their trademark antics on their daily life. In 2016, the game's main protagonist appeared in ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBirdsMovie'', identified as Ross.

In the ExcusePlot[[labelnote:Note]]for the first episode of the game called "Ground Hog Day"[[/labelnote]], an innocent freckled pig inadvertently shreds the pigs' map of the location to the birds' eggs and is sent by the King Pig to retrieve all the pieces. This leads to a PuzzleGame in which you have to guide your pig across a screen full of obstacles after building a vehicle appropriate to the screen's specific challenges. Like ''Angry Birds'', there are three stars available for each screen, but while one is always achieved simply by winning, the other two are achievements based on beating the screen with specific challenges:

* GottaCatchThemAll: Some screens have skulls hidden in hard to reach places. Collecting them isn't necessary to get stars, but unlocks access to additional Sandbox levels. "The Road to El Porkado" replaced these with idols that you could collect either by shining a spotlight on them with your flashlight or simply drop your pig to them.

* JailBake: One of the useless things that the King Pig may belch out when you feed him cake is a file.
