Angry Birds Go! is a 2013 kart racing game developed by Exient and published by Rovio Entertainment. A spinoff in the Angry Birds series, players control characters from the series in go-karts and compete in several types of challenges and competitions. Controls are limited to steering only as all races are downhill, and karts can be upgraded using virtual currency collected during races. Toys-to-life elements are also featured as the game is compatible with the Telepods toy line by Hasbro.

Go! was spawned from demand for an Angry Birds kart racer and Rovio wanting to take the franchise in a new direction. It was announced through social media in June 2013 and spawned speculation over which genre it would be. Angry Birds Go! was released for mobile devices on 11 December 2013, receiving mixed critical reception and over 130 million downloads. It has been frequently compared to the Mario Kart video game series by Nintendo and criticised for its use of microtransactions. A reworked cloud version titled Angry Birds Go! Turbo Edition was released in August 2019.
