Hey guys,
Over the next couple days, I'm going to be working on cleaning up the layout of the leaderboards, and that will involve moving a lot of times.
Some of the changes: Main Full Run categories are going to be: Challenge Stage 8 Million Points Stage 255
All 3 of these categories can be seen as a "full game" for different reasons. CS8 is the canon ending of the game and where all Challenge Stages loop. On Namco Collections vol 1 they even added a "Congratulations," and official end and credits to the game. Million points is where Japanese players traditionally ended runs, as once the score rolls, it's impossible to add it to the in-game leaderboard, so score tracking in Japan ended there and the game was considered "beat." And Stage 255 killscreens and crashes the game on default settings, and is one full loop of the game.
I'll be importing all the other times to a Level leaderboard. It will take some time, I'm going to do the categories with the most runs last as to make sure I get them all right and preserve them. I don't know if this will cause a lot of notifications and confusion, but if you get a notification saying you have a new run submitted, that's what it is. It's me migrating everything.
I should also add, Extra Life 1 and 2 will be under "misc." It still shows up on the "Full Runs" leaderboard. That's just how it works. But it won't be the first thing people see and maybe mistake for the primary category.
