Angry Birds Go! is the karting game from the world’s\u00a0most famous birds. If you want to be a firecracker at the wheel, then you really don’t want to miss out on\u00a0these tips and<\/strong> tricks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Angry Birds Go! <\/a>brings our favorite birds and pigs out of their natural habitat and puts them on the go-karting track. As with the games in the main series, understanding the gameplay of Go! is simple, but if you want to be the best driver, you should consider a strategy<\/strong>. We’ll give you a few tips so that you can earn coins easier, improve your vehicles,\u00a0get new drivers and, ultimately, get everything you can out of this fun game from Rovio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Get to know the circuit<\/h3>\n

The circuits in Angry Birds Go! aren’t complicated, but you’ll need to do a first lap\u00a0to avoid falling at the first hurdle, as there are often traps. The best way to go around the circuit the first time is to have a race with other machine-controlled players: these races require less engine capacity (CC). It’s shown in the menu with the flag icon.<\/p>\n

\"Get<\/p>\n

Regular races are best for getting to know the circuit<\/em><\/p>\n

Once you do this first race, you’ll probably know<\/strong> all you need to about a circuit which,\u00a0to get all you can out of each level, you’ll probably play dozens of times!<\/p>\n

Use professional driving techniques<\/h3>\n

In Angry Birds Go!, the cars don’t accelerate or brake, you just have to control your direction. However, you can benefit from some advanced techniques to get ahead of your rivals. For example, take advantage of slipstream<\/strong>, i.e.\u00a0the forward “suction” that’s generated when you tuck in behind another driver, will give your speed a boost. There are also speed accelerators <\/strong>throughout\u00a0the circuit, which are the panels with the arrows. Use them whenever you can; they can be just what you need to overcome an opponent at the last second.<\/p>\n

\"Drive Accelerator\u00a0panels give you a boost that can sometimes be the key to winning<\/em><\/p>\n

Don’t waste powerups<\/h3>\n

One way to gain on\u00a0your opponents is to use powerups<\/strong>. These are available in the top of the screen, paid in coins or through sponsors. Instinct makes you want to use powerups at the first hurdle,\u00a0but don’t do it!<\/strong> Earning coins in the game isn’t\u00a0easy and sponsored\u00a0powers are not infinite. Think about when you really need a powerup. Is it worth\u00a0spending 150 coins on this race? Do you really need a speed boost when you’re already in first position? Trust me, in most cases<\/strong> you don’t need powerups to win races.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong> \"There's Use powerups only when strictly necessary<\/em><\/p>\n

Don’t worry if you don’t pass a challenge on the first try<\/h3>\n

Some Angry Birds Go! races\u00a0contain several challenges <\/strong>that you have to overcome, like finishing in the top 3, avoid crashing into more than 5 objects, and beating one of your friends. Maybe you’ve driven a great race, finished on top and been the first of your friends, but you’ve hit 6 objects. There’s no real problem here because if you repeat the race,\u00a0the challenges you’ve already achieved are saved<\/strong> so that you can concentrate on the remaining challenge.<\/p>\n

\"If Relax! Next time you’ll\u00a0get those challenges!<\/em><\/p>\n

Save your money for upgrading\u00a0your kart<\/h3>\n

As I already mentioned, when you’ve got money, there’s an urge to spend it on powerups. Avoid the urge! It’s\u00a0wiser to invest in a better kart<\/strong> and enhance what you already have<\/strong>. Each kart improvement you buy not only enhances vehicle performance, it also increases their engine capacity (CC), which is essential for\u00a0unlocking new races and challenges. It’ll become increasingly difficult to buy upgrades for your karts as you progress through the game, but it’s definitely worth saving your money to do so.<\/p>\n

\"Bling Spend your money on your karts<\/em><\/p>\n

Repeat races to get money quickly<\/h3>\n

Want to advance in Angry Birds Go! but don’t have money to increase your kart’s CC? Repeat races you’ve already unlocked<\/strong> to make money quickly. The easiest way to make money is doing a VS race: you earn coins for being first, plus you get to do the circuit again.<\/p>\n

\"Repeated <\/em><\/p>\n

With VS, you can earn coins easily<\/em><\/p>\n

Take advantage of each character’s abilities<\/h3>\n

In each race, you have a free skill <\/strong>for the character you’re racing. In some races, you won’t need to use it but in others, you have to in order\u00a0to complete the level. Before beginning a race, check the race objectives and then\u00a0select a character according to their specific skill<\/strong>. For example, if you’re racing on a track with lots of obstacles, the pink bird <\/strong>will be super useful, because its power consists of encasing itself in a bubble that makes it indestructable for a few seconds. Another example: if you’re about to start a race where you have to finish\u00a0first, then you should select a more aggressive character, like the red bird<\/strong> (the first one you’ll get), which really drives itself forward\u00a0and, even more importantly,\u00a0attacks the opponent in front of you.<\/p>\n

\"Different There’s a special character power for each race<\/em><\/p>\n

Don’t\u00a0waste gems<\/h3>\n

In some races and challenges you’ll get gems, but far fewer than coins. The reason? They’re the currency of the game, and getting them\u00a0for free is much\u00a0more difficult. Considering you’ll have few gems, don’t use them without reason: put them to good use<\/strong>. For example, saving enough of them will get you a kart that’s otherwise impossible to achieve. It’s better to do that that than to spend them on fuel for your birds. For fuel, it’s easier (and cheaper) to rest your birds for a few hours and get back on the track as soon as they’re awake again.<\/p>\n

\"Spend Your drivers also deserve a rest! Save your gems and let them sleep. <\/em><\/p>\n

If you don’t complete a challenge, don’t let it get to\u00a0you<\/h3>\n

Some challenges in Angry Birds Go! are tough\u00a0to beat. For example, Boom Time (the time trial game mode) will occasionally beat you, or there may be no way to get the bird to shift in Champion Chase. In cases like this, don’t let it\u00a0stress you out.\u00a0Maybe your car isn’t\u00a0prepared for the challenge<\/strong> or you’re just not having\u00a0a good day. Try another race, upgrade your car (if you can)\u00a0and you’ll see that when you return to the race that beat you, you’ll pass it with flying colors.<\/p>\n

\"Relax, Next time you’ll overcome that challenge for sure<\/em><\/p>\n

Above all…enjoy!<\/h3>\n

This guide will hopefully help you get the best out of\u00a0Angry Birds Go!, but the most useful advice we can give you is to let go and enjoy<\/strong> this fun game. Use the advice that best suits your style of gameplay and get racing!<\/p>\n
