Seconds 0–30: The Living Room of Doom
Standard start, but the floor is electrified toast. Every bounce must be perfect. One slip = instant giggle-sizzle.

Seconds 31–75: Banana Split Highway
The road is made of banana peels (slippery even for minions). Vehicles drive sideways. Dave the Vortex appears every 10 seconds to swap your controls left/right.

Seconds 76–120: Gru’s Labyrinth of Regret

Seconds 121–180: Vector’s Revenge (But Faster)
Vector chases you on a rocket-powered tricycle while shooting shrink rays. The camera flips upside down at 150 seconds. At 170 seconds, the floor becomes a treadmill set to “ludicrous banana.”

Second 181: The Banana Singularity

Even though you cannot use activated power-ups, you can use passive perks. Before starting Gate 181, equip the Banana Shield as your "Joker" item. The game treats the shield as a "costume perk" rather than a power-up. This allows you to eat three extra hits without losing your combo multiplier.
