Angry Birds

Angry Birds is an obstacle first introduced as the eighth obstacle during Baltimore finals in American Ninja Warrior 11.

This obstacle was incredibly similar to Wave Runner, where competitors must hold onto to both sides of the boards and maintain their balance while crossing. However, Angry Birds featured eight boards divided into two sections. Each board varied in shape, had handholds to grab onto, and was placed in a different angle.

Angry Birds was the most brutal obstacle in American Ninja Warrior history, as the obstacle eliminated all 22 competitors who attempted it, including top competitors like Chris Wilczewski, Jamie Rahn, Joe Moravsky, Michael Silenzi, Dave Cavanagh, Najee Richardson, Allyssa Beird, Lucas Reale, Garrett Lam, Anthony DeFranco, Zach Day, Ryan Lee, Julius Ferguson, Zach Barefoot, and Clayton Mirage, leaving the next two obstacles, Cane Lane and Spider Trap, unattempted. Almost every competitor who attempted this obstacle failed to make the blind transition to the fifth board, that is, the first board of the second section.

Trivia

 * Angry Birds was the third obstacle in American Ninja Warrior history to be served to promote an upcoming movie, which was The Angry Birds Movie 2, after Ninjago Roll during American Ninja Warrior 9's Denver finals, which was used to promote The Lego Ninjago Movie, and Fallout during American Ninja Warrior 10's Dallas finals, which was used to promote Mission: Impossible – Fallout. The movie itself would be released in the U.S. on August 14th, 2019.
 * With 22 competitors falling, Angry Birds during American Ninja Warrior 11's Baltimore finals had taken out the most number of competitors out of any obstacle during city finals round in American Ninja Warrior history, beating the Nail Clipper during American Ninja Warrior 9's Cleveland finals at twenty competitors.
 * This also marked the first time in modern ANW that the eighth obstacle during city finals round had a zero percent completion rate and the first time that the ninth and tenth obstacles in a city finals course were left unattempted, since American Ninja Warrior fully featured 10 obstacles in every city finals course, starting on American Ninja Warrior 5.
