Minion: Rush 1.4.0
The biggest addition was a brand new track environment. Say goodbye to Gru’s residential street for a few runs and dive into the high-tech, sterile corridors of the AVL.

Taking it back to the time before the global asynchronous multiplayer, v1.4.0 was all about pure, chaotic fun. Here is what made this version so iconic:
🗓️ The Vector & El Macho Showdowns This was the era of the original Boss Fights! Remember the adrenaline rush of dodging Vector’s projectiles or surviving El Macho’s purple rampage? Back then, beating them felt like a true badge of honor.
🏭 The Beloved Locations Before the endless map rotations, we were grinding hard in The Residential Area and mastering the tight turns of the Anti-Villain League (AVL). The scenery was iconic, and we had every obstacle memorized.
🧪 The Jelly Lab Ah, the original progression system! Before the specialized rooms, we were obsessively collecting Jelly Bombs and unlocking costumes the old-school way. Who else spent hours grinding for that Banana Vacuum? 🍌 If you meant you’re a modder and want
