Super Animal Royale News

Super Parrots are here and they've brought the long awaited emote wheel with them! Express yourself with up to 6 emotes in-game, and unlock 6 new emotes (3 of which are available via new Milestones). We've packed this update full of new features including loading screen tips, new daily challenges and milestones, gameplay refinements (carry up to 10 bananas!) and more.


Equip up to 6 emotes to your wheel in the Customize screen, and flex all your dances and emotes in-game with the new wheel UI. It works on both keyboard and controller with the same key (default “v” on keyboard and d-pad left on controller) but now you hold the button/key down, select the emote you want, and release (or release in the middle to cancel.)

We’ve also added 6 new emotes. 3 available via Super Milestones and 3 available in the regular drop pool.

3 Milestone Emotes:

• Banan Pew Pew (100 banana slips on enemies)
  
• Gem Reveal (reach level 10 and then you can show off your gem with an emote!)
  
• Blow a Kiss (win 10 duos or squads games)
  

If you’ve already completed the milestone’s requirements, you’ll earn the emotes at the end of the first game you play after you update.

3 Additional New Emotes:

• Yawn (uncommon)
  
• Peanut Butter Jelly Time (rare)
  
• Tap Dance (epic)
  

Super Parrot (+ 5 additional breeds)

• Super Green Parrot
  
• Super Blue and Yellow Macaw
  
• Super Cockatiel
  
• Super Hyacinth Macaw
  
• Super Cockatoo
  

• Super Tips have been added to the loading screen!
  
• New mod items to earn: Redshift Outfit and XG’s Graduate Hat added to the loot drop pool.
  
• Completing milestones or daily challenges will now display a notification on the left side of the screen in-game. You'll still need to complete the match to get credit for the completion though!
  
• The table of gems and levels can now be viewed by clicking on your profile in the main menu.
  
• Your gem will show beside your name in Steam or Discord parties.
  
• Maximum FPS slider added in Settings.
  
• Added an option in Keybinds to disable mouse wheel from scrolling weapons.
  
• Added keybinds for marking and unmarking the game map with your paw marker.

• Super Milestones menu button icon updated for clarity.
  
• Main menu's top bar has been upgraded.
  

• You can now carry up to 10 bananas (up from 5). Praise banan.
  
• Slipping on a banana can be heard from about 15% further away.
  
• The basic pistol's attack speed has been increased: minimum time between shots is now 0.14s (down from 0.16s).
  
• Magnum and Deagle now use big bullets (rather than little bullets).
  
• Items now drop more frequently when cutting grass.
  
• In-game emote sounds will now play for yourself and up to one other person. Previously you'd only hear one emote sound at a time.
  
• The (not a) rat in Superite Mountain now takes all types of damage from any gun (but you might want to think about which particular gun you use if you're hunting for secret milestones 😉).
  
• Quantities for Eat Coconuts and Drink Health Juice daily challenges have been slightly increased.
  

• Place top 3 in Duos
  
• Place top 2 in Squads
  
• Poison Dart Gun Damage
  
• Skunk Bomb Damage
  
• Use Super Tape
  

• Applied a lot of optimizations to the game. Some players will experience up to 20% better performance.
  
• Reduced the edge of vision buffer space to more perfectly align the vision of non-1080p players to the standard 1080p view (taller or wider resolutions see more environment but the fog of war cuts off vision beyond 1080p).
  
• Fixed a bug where controller input was being picked up while SAR is in the background.
  
• Fixed a bug with re-rolling daily challenges and emoting.
  
• Fixed an issue where taping would cancel if another tape auto-looted under you.
  
• Minor map change: removed some breakable crates that were causing weird collision between two containers.
  
• The Super Animal Farm sign now fades when Super Animals are behind it.
  
• Sleeves fixed on police outfit.
  

The beefiest update yet has arrived in Super Animal World, with the dense new Super Animal Farm region now available to explore. It’s chock full of secrets and story elements to uncover, some of which you might catch hints of in our latest episode of Super Animal Royale Tonight!

Join Donk, Howl and the intrepid new field reporter, Joe Cluck, as they review your superest and blooperest clips of the month, in a flawless episode where absolutely nothing goes wrong.


The Poison Dart Gun is a new mid-range weapon that applies poison (a damage over time effect) to enemy animals. It does damage through armor, so while using it you don’t need to worry about that pesky level 3.

It really shines when fighting around obstacles and while using hit-and-run tactics, but it’s not going to be the right tool for every engagement. It’s quite powerful when paired with grenades, skunk bombs and when the Skunk Gas is closing in for the final Circle of Life, but if you’re the type to run in guns blazing, it’s not going to have the speed-to-kill of automatic weapons, or the effective range of a sniper. We can’t wait to see how you employ it in fights!

We've revamped the leveling system so you're no longer capped at level 30!

• You'll now level up more quickly and be able to go all the way to level 100 and beyond.
  
• Levelling up is fastest to start, but once you reach level 23, every level beyond that requires the same 4200 exp per level.
  
• New Super Animals become available sooner than before, and their levels have been adjusted to match the new system.
  
• Each time you reach level 100, you'll earn rarer and rarer gems mined from Superite Mountain, which represent your prestige level.
  
• DNA Magnets are now awarded every time you level up (after level 5), rather than randomly.
  
• 3 bonus Super Serum will also be granted with each level, in addition to any regular Super Serum drops.
  

• New Super Animal Farm biome, filled with attractions to visit and secrets to find!
  
• The Poison Dart Gun has been added! It applies both up-front damage and a stacking poison effect that damages enemy animals through armor.
  
• Super Chicken, Super Cow, and Super Horse added (+ 17 alternative Super Breeds spread out across the three of them).
  
• Super Level System v2.0: Prestige System. See above for all the details!
  

• Chicken Dinner gravestone: reach the Top of the Food Chain as a Super Chicken.
  
• SAW Helmet: reach level 50, “alrite” prestige.
  
• SAW Security Uniform: reach level 100, “satisfactorite” prestige (aka level 200).
  
• Rebellion Sword: reach level 100, “prettygoodite” prestige (aka level 300).
  
• + 3 additional new secret milestones (no spoilers!).
  

• New animated loading screen upon game launch: run, Super Fox, run!
  
• Multiple small changes around the map outside of the new Super Animal Farm area, including new billboards along the highways.
  
• Reduced in-game memory usage by about 20% (optimizations to grass storage).
  
• The rat (who is definitely not a rat) in Superite Mountain is no longer impervious to Skunk Gas. Sorry, buddy.
  
• Bat and Red Panda DNA/SS costs have been adjusted since their level has been changed relative to the old system.
  
• Rebellion Helmet moved to level 100, “alrite” prestige.
  
• Skunk bombs now do damage faster (every 0.6s to match the new Poison Dart Gun)
  
• Some additional minor performance improvements.
  
• Russian translation fixes.

We're heads down building out a whole host of new features and a new point of interest (you’re gonna like this one, rebels) for the next major update, so this week we’re only adding new Super Animals. We think the wait will be more than worth it, and we'll be revealing more very soon on Twitter, Facebook and Discord!

Set your calendars for two weeks, Super Animals: the next major update lands Friday, August 30th. See you all on the island!

The Super Summer Royale event has ended and the Super Beavers are done cleaning up the last of the fruit baskets, but they left some dessert! Super Gummy Bears join the fight in Berry, Lime, Orange and Cherry “flavors.”

The time has finally come to officially debut Squads as a permanent mode alongside Solo and Duos modes! And to all you crazy Super Animals in Discord who have been requesting the ability to Squid up since Monday, we’ve heard you loud and clear and have implemented the most important feature of all: squid hats. Just enter the code “SquidUp” into the coupon code field in the main menu to earn the ability to squid up with your super friends. You’re welcome.


The SAR community has been growing quickly in all 3 regions, but to help the transition from 2 to 3 modes as seamlessly as possible we’ve also upgraded the bots significantly for duos and squads mode. They’ll now roam in teams of two and four respectively and work together to hunt you down (it’s a bit horrifying, but never fear, their difficulty still scales up depending on your level, so they’ll be easier if you’re new to the game).

We’ve also added the highly requested “fill / no fill” option for duos and squads modes so you can choose if you want to be matched up with additional teammates or not when playing with less than a full team.


It’s the final week of the Super Summer Royale event (the event ends on August 9th)! Don’t forget that the fruit baskets you find are shared amongst your team, so hunting for them with your duos and squads teammates works especially well.
