platformers are actually an extremely good genre to have ranking systems in, specifically ones that aren't just time goals or "find everything" goals
encouraging players to balance various aspects of their performance as they improve... that's the good shit
I'd high-key love to hear your thoughts on the design process when you're up to it. I'm working on designing a platformer adjacent game right now and always love hearing other perspectives
