The concept of the game is relevant to the Despicable Me 2 movie. The official announcement as well as detailed information regarding the new version is at the official forum.

The official date of the update was October 10, 2018. The update was offered for iOS and Android users only. Several aspects of the game were discontinued such as Downtown, the Jelly Lab, Minion Races and Events, Power-Ups, Props and Mini Games, the Golden Banana and Golden Shield. The 5-Year Celebration update came with several changes in the core of the game. In addition, minions can run in different costumes once purchased.

Minions should avoid obstacles (swipe up to jump and down to duck) and attacks from bosses unless they are equipped with certain power-ups, and they can get prizes, including bananas, coins, costume cards and tokens.

While the minion runs, there are three lanes on the track, with some floating bananas on it, which minions can collect by being controlled to move left or right to run through them. Players play the game by controlling a minion, and the minion can be either Dave (the default character), Carl, Jerry, Mel, Bob, Stuart or Kevin they can also compete with others in hilarious, fast-paced challenges.
