Leaderboards

Question

How can I disable leaderboards? It makes me rush thru and lose lives.

Answer 1

You can't disable it. But you can ignore it. I rushed through some courses so I could win the Intergalactic Champion achievement. Now I just ignore it. If you ever decide to go for that, the AI courses are easy to breeze through.

Answer 2

Yes, ignore it.
It was perhaps designed to be a motivation target, but if it becomes the main thing to care about, then it is actually detrimental to the learning process.
