Although runners can get injured by hitting hazards and obstacles, passing the start laser will electrocute all the runners, dealing damage to them, as well as restoring a bit of health to the player. It is also easier to complete eliminator levels with hazards in them, as they can deplete the runners' health faster. The levels are not altered from their original version when played in eliminator mode, the level shape, and all the hazards and power ups stay the same.
