Survival of the Fittest

The game isn't all about grabbing every last banana, but about survival. If you run out of lives you fail, no matter how many bananas you grab, so when you encounter large patches of green runway get ready to take control of your minion using your device’s tilt functionality as these areas are particularly slippery.

Character's upgrade and level up

While survival is the basic aim we need to achieve in game, getting upgraded and leveling up can be also important. Most character upgrades and level ups can be purchased in game with just the bananas you collect. Sometimes I'll run through levels just to collect bananas and stock up.

Bumping into Fellow Minions

It is always worth bumping into Minions rather than grabbing some bananas, as this will increase your scoring multiplier. Simply get into the nearest lane to them and your Minion will do the rest.

Goals

The goals on the game are not very hard to complete, but they do reward you with generous amounts of tokens to help you continue. They will also open new environments up, so make sure you pay attention to them.

Save the Evil Minion for especially tough challenges

Once you've unlocked the PX41 serum, you'll be able to transform into Evil Minion. While in this mode, you'll be able to destroy anything in your path. When you're faced with a challenge that requires you to have an insanely high Despicable bonus, or you need to plow past a tough obstacle so you don't have to cash in Gru tokens to continue, these are the times you'll want to activate the Evil Minion. Just remember you can only use it every few hours so use it with care.
