Since its release at June 10, 2013, there's only one minion in Minion Rush, Dave, which makes what players differ from each other is the costume they use.

Carl's firefighter outfit appears as a playable costume, Bee-do Minion; but the minion is still Dave, so the minion costume still remains two-eyed, instead of one-eyed in original deign.

At March 23 in 2015, however, Gameloft Company, the developer of Minion Rush, announced that Carl would become the second minion that is available in the game. Then, at 25th, Carl minion was released and was available to purchase from 2.7.1 version of the game along with the new location Eduardo's House update. His initial cost was $19.99, and after the purchase, players were allowed to revive once by spending 5,000 bananas, and their minion would change from Dave to Carl or vice versa. Players would also upgrade Carl to get permanent despicable multiplier increase.

In the game, Carl couldn't make any items last longer, but if the player had picked up an item before revival, the item last span would inherit from the previous costume while the following items wouldn't. His acceleration was also faster than Dave during the run.

Since the update until the 2.8.1 update (May 6, 2015), Dave was replaced by Carl on the Minion Rush icon. In addition, Dave and Carl appear together in the icon in 3.1.0 update.

In game version 6.1.0, Carl has a different purpose in the game. He is no longer a stand-alone character to switch to from Dave, but a Wardrobe character blended in with the rest of the costumes and hats. In the older version, Carl, as well as Jerry and Mel had a separate section in the Costumes part of the Shop, but in the latest version all four characters and their costumes / hats are grouped in one place, the Wardrobe. Carl, as well as the other costumes / characters have new abilities.

Minions Paradise

Carl in Minions Paradise

Carl is also a playable character in Minions Paradise, as Bee-do.

By unlocking enough quests from Celebration Station, he will appear on some of the new appearing quests; once they are completed, Bee-do can be unlocked - he floats in the sea and then arrives the beach near Phil's Bar. He has some quests which needs help from Phil, and he sits at one of the seats of the bar. New stories of new quests can be unlocked by Celebration as well; before a new story is introduced/unlocked, he walks around the island like a normal minion and can be called for distractivities or making resources.

However, he can't be leveled up by tokens, just like French Maid.
