Bad Piggies 3-star level guide - Ground Hog Day (levels 1-13 to 1-24)
|
| Bad Piggies

Meet the piggies. Once the evil villains of the Angry Birds franchise, these green porkers now have their own game - and they're the heroes.

In each level, it's your job to transport the piggies across bumpy terrain by building vehicles and planes out of the toybox junk in your possession.

In Chapter 1, entitled Ground Hog Day, the piggies remain on terra firma. You'll build cars, bikes, trikes, and wobbling great jalopies in an attempt to ferry the bacon-flavoured heroes towards torn-up remnants of a map.

Put the TNT and pig in this position, and hit detonate to collect the star crate in the tunnel.

Use this position to collect the lower star crate.

Use the cola bottle to push the cart forward a little, then detonate the TNT to push piggy into the finish line. You'll secure the pig and "no bellows" goals.

Bag Piggies three star level guide

The bellows make it a lot easier to get the cart in a good place, so when you blow the TNT, the pig will fire up into the top tunnel and nab the star crate.

1-15

This soda-powered rocket will let you reach the goal without TNT. Let the cola loose right after hitting go to fire off into the finish line on the right.

Once this thing starts to topple, detonate the explosive. Get it right and you'll hit the star crate and bounce back into the finish line. Tricky, and will take a few goes, but it works.

1-16

Let this wobbly craft topple a little, then detonate the TNT to push the piggy into one star crate and across the finish line.

Bag Piggies three star level guide

Yes, this is ridiculous. But, it works, so shush. Fire the down-pointing bottles for lift, then set off the right-pointing ones to get the right angle. Detonate the TNT to strike the second star crate and hit the goal.

Build this and your vehicle will slowly float down and collect the star crate. Retract the umbrella when you've got your wheels on the ground to get up the ramp and over the finish line.

Bag Piggies three star level guide

This tiny bike will help you hit the timed goal. Make sure to retract the umbrella straight away, and then open it on the first fall to land safely on two wheels. Then, retract the umbrella to finish the stage in record time.

This design will help you get the "no bottle rockets" goal. Retract and open the umbrella repeatedly to push the pig off the edge, then open the brollies to float down to the finish line.

Bag Piggies three star level guide

Close the umbrellas and fire off the edge with the cola bottle, then open the umbrellas. Once you've landed on the ramp, close the umbrellas to speed into the goal and grab the timed goal.

1-19

Let's get the star crate first. Close the umbrellas and push off the edge with the fan. Open the umbrellas mid-fall to ensure a safe landing. Now, close the brollies and use the fan to get to the foot of the hill on the left.

Now, let loose with the cola bottles to reach the crate. Turn off the fan to roll back down the hill and over the finish line.

Close the umbrellas and use the fan to push yourself off the cliff. Open the umbrellas for a safe landing, then close them and unleash the fuzzy cola to fire over the line and score the timed goal.

1-20

This spring cart will help you secure the pig and "no umbrella" goals.

Bag Piggies three star level guide

To get the "no breakages" goal, you'll need to use a car like this. Shut the umbrella when you land on the ramp, but open it again to safely glide into the finish line.

1-21

Meet the fan generator. It will supercharge this car and push it over the finish line to grab the timed goal.

Bag Piggies three star level guide

This clunky car won't win any awards for speed, but it is durable enough to get to the finish line without breaking, earning you the "no breakages" award.

1-22
Bag Piggies three star level guide

This twin-generator car will zip over the bumpy landscape and nab you the goal for speed.

Bag Piggies three star level guide

Use this giant land stalker to get over the terrain, but shut off the automatic umbrella towards the end so you topple off the edge and hit the star crate. Turn the umbrella back on to finish the course.

1-23
Bag Piggies three star level guide

This is the vehicle to build to get the timed goal. Turn on both generators to go a little ways up the hill, then detonate the TNT to fire the bad piggy up into the bottom-most tunnel, where he will bounce down to the finish.

Use a pinch gesture to zoom out if you need to see more of the level in one go.

Bag Piggies three star level guide

To get the star crate goal, use the same technique as before, but this time go all the way up the hill and smash the crate. Shut off all your engines to roll back down the hill, then detonate the TNT to fire the pig through the tunnel and into the finish line.

1-24

This is the perfect vehicle design for the speed goal. Shut the umbrellas and turn on the left fan to get moving. When you go off the ramp, open the umbrella, turn off the left fan and turn on the right one.

Shut the fan and use the bottle rocket to ride down the ramp. At the end, open your umbrella, turn off the right fan and turn on the left one to zip into the finish line.

Bag Piggies three star level guide

To get the star crate, build a buggy that looks like this. Shut the umbrellas and ride down the hill. Open them at the end to float safely to the ground, then close them again.

Now, fire up the right fan to make a start towards the great slope. Use the bottle rocket for more speed. You'll fire towards the crate, but open the umbrellas to twist back and land on safe ground. Now, use the left fan to trundle over the finish line.

I-IV
Bag Piggies three star level guide

This cart will help you secure the speed and pig goals. Fire the lemonade bottles to get moving, and then ride over the bumpy ground.

When you get to the first big incline, fire your cola bottles to get some air and then detonate the TNT to fire piggy up and over the middle rock and into the finish line.

Bag Piggies three star level guide

Use this one to get the star crate goal. Let gravity take you down the first slope and over the first hump. Use lemonade to get over the first big ramp, and cola to get over the other. You should drive into the star crate, so use the TNT to fire the pig into the goal.

1-V
Bag Piggies three star level guide

This craft will help you nab you the star crate goal. Shut the umbrellas and ride down to the platform with the crate. Unleash your lemonade before you make contact to rocket up and get the crate. Gravity will take you all the way down to the goal, but use the umbrellas for a safe landing.

Bag Piggies three star level guide

This hulking great monstrosity is surprisingly useful for nailing the speed challenge. Put the umbrellas down and fire up the cola bottle. As you reach the end of the first drop, open the brollies and fire up the lemonade. This should push you into the tunnel that leads directly to the goal. Now, shut the umbrellas and ride the (very bumpy) roller coaster all the way down.

1-VI
Bag Piggies three star level guide

This funky fan-powered trike is all you need to get the speed achievement. Use the left and right fans to travel left and right. Turn off the fans when going downhill, and you can even use the opposite fans to slow you down.

The pyramid structure of our car stops all the fans being smashed off during the many falls.

Bag Piggies three star level guide

Use the same car as above, but this time travel all the way to the left after the first drop to get the star crate. Then, slowly make your way to the goal to collect your star.
