Parts

Not to be confused with Item List, an article listing every component type in the game.

Parts are a feature in Bad Piggies. Parts can be obtained from crates, and also from the Scrap Machine. Parts come in 1-star, 2-star, 3-star and Alien tiers. Higher tiers cost more scrap from the machine, and are much rarer to get in crates. Some loot crates have a guaranteed chance to get a part, which can be of a given tier. There are 3 Easter egg parts that can only be collected by tapping on things hidden around the game.

There's a menu that can be opened on any level. By default, it shows all of the variants for all of the items you have in a level you are in. If you press the expand button in the bottom right corner, it expands the menu to show all of the parts in-game.

In the parts menu, you can choose any custom parts to optimize the your aesthetism, for example, clicking the 3-star motor part will change all of the motor design completely, you can revert it to default or other tiers anytime.

In Cake Race[]

In the Cake Race game mode, the King Pig will feature a random 1-3 star(s) part. If that part is equipped during the race, the player will earn a 15% bonus in score. It isn't always a part that the player has, and won't be any of the Alien or Easter egg ones. It can also be the default. If the corresponding item isn’t available in the level, then it is added.

Parts that affect function[]

Most parts don’t do anything except affect how the item looks visually. Some parts, however, have a small extra feature. Some parts also effect the collision box slightly, too.

Metal box, it has Christmas lights on it. pretty.

The metal box has a 2-star variant that emits some light around it in dark levels, more than that of the pig or statue. It can't be turned off.
Zombie, ninja, robot, and Christmas pig

The pig has a zombie variant that has the voice lowered and raspier, a ninja variant that makes no noise, and a robot variant that makes the voice higher and metallic, and the expression doesn’t change except for the eyes, which turn red when you hit a wall.
The pig also has a criminal variant where the expressions for being scared and falling are swapped. Note that the sounds and the panic expression stay the same.
When equipping the Christmas variant for Ross, a Christmas jingle bells sound effect is played.
The bellows has a 3-star Whoopee cushion part that makes a flatulence sound when used. It appears to not have a mount in its item version.
One of the single sandbag’s 3-star parts is a tombstone, which is one of the heaviest items in the game.

Lamp parts. the 1-star version resembles ambient mushrooms found in some The Road to El Porkado dark levels, which also emit light.

The Lamp Light’s 1-star variant can’t be turned off (though it has a sprite for an off version in the files), its 2-star variant has a flickering effect added around its range's edges, and its 3-star variant has a doubled light range.
Ghost balloons. only the first face is used. spooky.

The balloons have a ghost variant that, when popped, plays a ghostly sound. The ghost balloons are supposed to have different faces in the 2 and 3-balloon bunches, but only one face actually appears in-game.

The TNT’s second 3-star variant, a pumpkin, burst out a bunch of candy particles when detonated. One of the particles is seen, sized upwards, as a decorational object in Tusk Til' Dawn.
A 2-star variant of each both the red and blue Fireworks has a TNT sticker and will explode after it ends the fuse. Unlike TNT, it won't explode if it hits something. Both have a 3-star version that starts working immediately when triggered and gets stronger.

Easter Eggs[]

There are 3 Easter Egg parts, as mentioned above. The items you have to tap on to collect them are well hidden in various places around the game. They don't have to be collected in any order, and if they are uncollected, they won't appear on the parts menu and won't be necessary for having all of the parts, since the icon will not appear. They are all collected by tapping on them a few times. The list of Easter Egg parts that have been found are as follows.

One part is a three-star part for the pig. This pig is also known as 'Millionare Ross'. He wears a white hat on his left ear, ear studs clipped to his right ear, and has golden eyes and a golden snout. This part is collected by tapping on a small gold bottle found left of the playing field in Find the Statues.
The next secret part is one for the Egg. It appears as a pineapple. It can be found in The Road to El Porkado Level 12, high above the beginning area.
The next secret part is a part for the Pumpkin With Candy. It appears as a blobfish, similar to a viral image of a blobfish. It is collected in the main menu, near the bottom of the screen but above the water.

Alien parts[]

Some parts have an alien variant. These cost much more scrap, emit small green or blue particles, and have a special feature or quality added. For example, the pig’s alien variant floats upwards when placed in a frame, the small wheel can be powered and moves fast, and the electric engine is incredibly strong. When equipped, alien parts play a weird sound effect. There are 15 of these total. For the full alien parts article, click here.

Trivia[]

In all Tusk 'til Dawn levels, a mask is added over the player, even if they are already wearing a part. This is because parts were added after Tusk 'til Dawn. The mask still acts as normal regardless.
The item with the most parts for it is Ross, with 18 parts (20 if you count the default and alien ones.) The item with the fewest is the Pumpkin with Candy, which only has a single 1-star blobfish part, an Easter egg. If you don’t count the Easter egg parts, a few items are tied with only 3 parts, including the spotlight, lamp light, and suction cup wheel.
The Cake Race-exclusive Dynamite item is the only item to not have any parts for it.
No items have more than 1 alien part, though some corresponding items both have an alien part (i.e. the black and green soda bottles.)
For all wheels, if placed sideways or upside down, the part of the wheel that turns will be rotated when the game starts to face the direction it faces in its icon.
While individual, double, and triple sandbag items have parts that match each other, the single sandbag has some extra parts that the others don't, like the aforementioned heavy tombstone.
Some of the textures for the many parts in the game. Some unused textures are present, such as Christmas stockings, a green alien box, a cake balloon with a bite taken out of it, and more.

Is it possible to get no suction cup star in 5-21 by wearing frankstein pig variant skin.
Even though selecting the Christmas Ross variant play's a sound effect, selecting the christmas variants for the King Pig, Metal Box, or any gingerbread variant of an item will not play the jingle.
