why is there a level leaderboard for each individual game and not have it as a variable in the full game board?
I don't understand your question.
Would you like to have the individual games on the full-game leaderboard ? If it's your question, I don't understand what it would change.
They're most likely on the level leaderboards because they are each an individual stage of the overall campaign. While technically that means they could be variables in the full game board, they have their own leaderboard because of their individual level status. As such, to me, they're properly placed and there is no reason to change them. You can see similar occurrences in other titles for similar reasons. A few of my favorite examples are Ocarina of Time, GoldenEye 007, and Super Mario 64.
Whatever the case, LOTD's leaderboards have been formatted like this for 5 years now since the original iteration came out, and the same format seems to have traveled to the Link Evo page, and I personally don't see any reason to change it. I can't speak for the mods who oversee this title, so I'll let them voice their own opinion on the matter should they see your post.
