Abilities and Power-ups

Power-ups are gadgets in the game that perform a specific action. Some collect bananas, others hit obstacles or other minions. Below is a list of all power-ups in the game.

Costume abilities is a new feature of the game. It was introduced in 6.8.1 update. Costumes have built-in Power-ups in form of new abilities. In order to use an ability, a player needs to charge it. When fully charged, the player can use it anytime during a run to unleash it when the power-up is needed most. A player can use only one ability during a run, that is the power-up that a specific costume has. Collecting bananas, jumping and sliding under obstacles, near-missing obstacles and picking-up any power-ups help charge the ability. A combo of any of them will charge the ability faster. Since update 6.8.1, there are no longer missions that require to pick-up power-ups; Instead, all such missions have been replaced by using abilities. Any power-up that is picked up along the way lasts 5 seconds.


Props (discontinued for iOS and Android)

Props were some special power-ups that were only available in certain locations, which used to be attained in special missions. If the player had no prop, they could buy one with tokens/bananas when playing. When using props, players could get more special items, bananas, and multipliers when participating in the special mission. After buying the use of a prop at the beginning of the run, the first three power-ups that would normally appear were replaced by props. After the end of the special mission, certain props were still available in those locations once the special mission was held without having to pay the price to use.
