Minion Rush
When Minion Rush was released at June 10, 2013, there was only one minion in it, Dave wearing various outfits.
Carl's firefighter outfit appears as a playable costume, Bee-do; but the minion is still Dave, so the minion costume still remains two-eyed, instead of one-eyed in original design.
On March 23 in 2015, however, Gameloft Company, the developer of Minion Rush, announced that Carl would become the second minion that would be available in the game. Then, on March 25, Carl minion was released and was available to purchase from 2.6.1 version of the game along with the new location Eduardo's House. 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.
Since 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 jelly lab versions, Carl, as well as Jerry and Mel had a separate section in the Costumes part of the Shop, but in the latest versions 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.

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.
