The Leaderboard is a feature of Geometry Dash, being introduced in Update 1.3. It is accessed through the creator menu.

Description

Tabs at the top of the page display four categories by which players of the game are ordered in a ranked list relative to other players based on their tally of specific collectibles.

Top 100: Shows the top 100 players, ordered by number of stars.
Friends: Shows the player alongside their friends, ordered by number of stars.
Global: Shows the player alongside other players based on their global ranking, ordered by number of stars.
Creators: Shows the top 100 creators, ordered by creator points. 1 creator point is rewarded for a created level that receives a star rating, with 1 additional point being rewarded for a created level receiving a Featured rating, or 2 additional points being rewarded for a created level receiving an Epic rating.

A player's position in the Global category results in a specific coloured trophy being displayed alongside their rank in the upper left corner of their profile page.

Trivia

All players with the same number of stars as the logged-in player will be positioned below them with the exception of one randomly selected player who will be positioned above them. This results in slightly different rankings being presented to each player.
Prior to Update 1.9, the Top 100 category was limited to only the top 50 players.
Prior to Update 2.0, there was a Weekly category that was ordered based on the number of stars obtained in one week, updated weekly. It was replaced by the Friends category.
On 22 July 2017, RobTop stopped updating the Top 100 and Global leaderboards altogether. The Top 100 leaderboard remained frozen until May 21, 2021, after an announcement was made by Viprin stating that the leaderboard would be updated hourly using a manually managed list of player account IDs. Two days later, RobTop updated the Global leaderboard for the first time since 2017.
The player Mask was the first player to maintain 1st place on the Top 100 leaderboard for an extended period of time, with 80 stars, and for a period simultaneously maintained 1st place on the Creators leaderboard.
The player Michigun was the next player to maintain 1st place on the Top 100 leaderboard for an extended period of time, doing so over the course of many updates to the game. Player Shaggy23 was the first to surpass them on 21 April 2017 to claim 1st position, resulting in the first change of top ranking after several years, occurring during Update 2.1.
Player NoctaFly was the first player to reach the star limit of 65,535 (this later being raised to 16,777,215).
Player Smiffy777 currently has the most stars of all players and ranks 1st on the Top 100 leaderboard.
