Despicable Me: Minion Rush Tips & Tricks Guide, Part 3: The Latest Cheats, Hints and Strategies

Welcome to part three of the Despicable Me: Minion Rush tips and tricks guide! Click here to go back to part two of the guide!

The costume mission can be completed for free, by going to the gift code entry area and entering knight minion, fireman minion and hula minion. The knight minion is the one with only one eye. Doing this will earn you a free referee costume, so once you get that free referee costume, equip it and run the required number of meters in order to complete the mission.

Enter the gift codes for the free score perks (the combination for this one is Maid Minion, Hula Minion and Knight Minion) and you’ll get five score perks, which will give you 5x the points during the run that you decide to use them on. Wait until you’ve completed as many missions as you can so that your base multiplier is high anyways, then use them and go on runs. Run as far as you can and pick up every power up that you come across. Preferrably, upgrade your power ups to as close to the maximum level first, so that they all last longer.

Use the combination of power ups, score perks and multipliers (via completing as many despicable actions as possible) in order to rack up insane scores. Run through the secret zones to make it easier, as well. To find the secret zones, when you are approaching an area where you make a turn off to the side, look for a clear tube in one or two of the lanes that you can run through. They’re hard to see so you have to look closely. Run through the clear tube and you’ll be taken off to the secret area, where you’ll collect extra bananas as well.

Rack up your score even more by dragging out the boss battles and the fluffy unicorn stages as well. In the unicorn stage, you’ll fall when you’re not touching bananas, so collect the bananas off and on to make it last longer. If Vector and Meena aren’t throwing too many robots at you, avoid them but don’t tap the target bots, so that you can continue racking up your score while you run, without worrying about any jumps or anything like that.
