Despicable Me: Minion Rush

For those in this game for the long haul. If you purchase a character with a free 1st revive this also counts and so you avoid having to spend any tokens and can save them for something else.

If you're double stacking this game with WP and sync with facebook the purchases and achievements count for both versions, saving you money and time! You also receive 50 tokens!

For the minimum investment buy the 1200 token pack and buy the Dad character and by the 10th one you'll get it and have saved 200 tokens that you'll have earned you can use for other things.

If this isn't something you want to do then the best way to get coins is by placing in weekly event (5 tokens should be a relatively easy haul) and getting achievements. Every achievement grants you tokens towards the 20 needed for a revive. For maximum efficiency only use one revive per level this way as more revives require more tokens.

when you "fail" a run, hit something or fall off the track, you have a chance to use a revive. these cost 20 coins for the first use that run than 40 and so on. it goes back to 20 coins every run. you can buy coins or collect them as you run. you will need 200 coins to get this

EDIT you can also get coins by doing certain tasks. click on the fruit in the top rightcorner and then click the second tab

When you run into an object, you get an option to revive yourself for 20 Gru Tokens. You need to do this 10 times. You can also use the revive option if you have the Dad outfit equipped. (Thanks Shulamm)

Every achievement is trackable in this game by looking at the white bar next to the achievement name. The higher the line, the closer you are. You can track them in the 'Achievements' section from in the Jelly Lab however, they seem to be more accurate when you use tap the Fruit tab and go across to the in-game achievements tab. Note that there are 48 here but only 20 are Xbox Live achievements.
