[h2]New Ghost and Replay System[/h2]
We have rebuilt the ghost system from the ground up. It's now possible to download and compete against specific ghosts, and additionally you can also watch downloaded ghosts as a replay.
[i]The eye icon indicates if a ghost is downloaded and displayed. Click it to toggle the visibility of the corresponding ghost. The "Replay" symbol can be used to watch that individual replay.[/i]
