This screen shows a {{w|bar chart}} that represents the players that achieved a given score. The higher a bar is, the more players have reached it. The altitude isn't labeled, so this chart can't be used to know exactly how many players got a score, but it can be used to show the most popular results. The columns that represent the score the player just got (if this screen is accessed via story mode or mission completion) and the best score registered in the [[saved game]] become highlighted, with a marker on top. If either of these two is beyond the range of the chart, the marker will point to the right side of the screen, and if both are very close to one another, it will just swap between the two over time. In Mission Mode rankings, because the world record scores are so rarely obtained, and would be nearly impossible to understand in the chart, a frame announcing the world record can be seen on the top-right corner. The bottom-right corner of this screen toggles between the two different metrics – fruits and days for story mode, solo and co-op for Mission Mode.

On the story mode global rankings, there's a fruit chart and a day chart. The fruit chart shows how many players have recovered X pieces of fruit prior to completing the game. This chart goes from 0 to 65. The days chart shows how many players took X days to complete the game with all fruits collected. It goes from 99 to [[10 day run|10]]. The Mission Mode charts show the final scores players got, with one chart for solo player completions, and another for co-op. The scores shown here are rounded for simplification's sake.
On the story mode global rankings, there's a fruit chart and a day chart. The fruit chart shows how many players have recovered X pieces of fruit prior to completing the game. This chart starts at 0, with some players getting it to go up to 65, while others see it top at 66. The reason for this behavior is unknown. The days chart shows how many players took X days to complete the game with all fruits collected. It goes from 99 to [[10 day run|10]]. The Mission Mode charts show the final scores players got, with one chart for solo player completions, and another for co-op. The scores shown here are rounded for simplification's sake.


If the player tries to view global rankings, but the global ranking data hasn't been updated in a while, the game will ask the player {{transcript|Use SpotPass to receive <span style{{=}}"color: orange;">global ranking data</span> from Nintendo for this software?}}, with the options "Cancel" and "OK". Accepting will fetch the latest ranking data from Nintendo's servers. The message {{transcript|This Wii U has been configured to allow the use of SpotPass for this software.}} confirms that the data was obtained successfully. It will be impossible to see the rankings until the question is accepted. This prompt can also come up at times when the player turns the game on.
