Rush Avoiding is a setting in Minion Rush and is now known as avoid missions. In the previous version, some levels would ask a player to rush avoid with a power-up, but it's discontinued for this current version (for example, Run for time with the Freeze Ray and Avoid performing Despicable Actions). The three actions that sometimes must be avoided are despicable actions, jumping, or collecting bananas. If the player performs the action that must be avoided, there will be a penalty. In running for time and avoiding bananas in a jelly lab level, the penalty would be 0 seconds. In Vector's Fortress and Eduardo's House, it will be difficult to avoid collecting bananas. All rush avoiding is difficult in Vector's Fortress and Eduardo's House. On Level 469, the player is asked to slide under obstacles and avoid collecting bananas, which those objectives are discontinued as of the 5-Year Celebration update. This objective is the same for Levels 204 and 1037. Some people posted on Gameloft Forums that it is impossible when really it isn't. If the player refuses to take a risk on jumping in an avoid jumping mission, they may fail. It was first introduced in the 4.0.0 update in September 2016.

Trivia[]
- During October 2018-May 2019 Rush Avoiding was extremely rare and players demanded the mode to come back, but Gameloft could not convert it to update 6.1.0 due to the technical issue.
- The longest penalty is Despicable Actions while the shortest one is Bananas. Jumps is the second longest.
- In old version, jumps penalty apply any time you jump.
- In new version, jumps penalty only applies when you jump over an obstacle.
- As of level 45, the first avoid mission spawns in and goes onward with one avoid mission per zone. Until area 59 and beyond, every zone will have 1-4 rush avoiding mission.
- However, area 15 makes an exception, having 2 avoid missions in one area.
- Normally, when you start a run, it'll warn you to avoid the penalty. If you keep doing the penalty repeatedly, it'll warn you to avoid doing it.
