I want to say the same, but it seems impossible to do so. There is no all items unlock cheat to complete levels, like Downtown Bikini Bottom, for example. That level requires the Reef Blower, which Spongebob gets later in the game,
Another example is having to get Plankton in Chum World, which you need a certain amount of Jellyfish to go to Goo Lagoon. So there is no point of a level leaderboard if we have that, unless the moderators can think of something it. For now, maybe never, I don't think we'll get a level leaderboard for this game.
Level leaderboards for this game wouldn't be handled in the same way most games handle it due to that point you brought up. The way I've looked at implementing some form of IL's would be route runs. For example with Chum World you the only reason you enter there in the first place is so you can get enough jellies to enter Goo Lagoon. You don't NEED to do anything else in there until much later in the game progression. So my idea of how that level would be handled is by getting the required jellies, and the tiles that would normally be grabbed until after you leave. the main issue that shows up then is that there are currently two drastically different CW routes that get used depending on if you do the coin tile skip or not. Jellyfish Fields is the only IL i can see being run as a straight IL, since it is a very complex level with a lot of really cool tricks. However we would normally grab more jellies then needed to advance in the story, so we would either make the category only get enough to unlock the reef blower or require the amount grabbed during an any% run to be obtained in the level.
Either way it gets handled IL's will be messy to deal with, so the likelihood of any IL's besides Bikini Bottom, Treedome, Jellyfish Fields, Goo Lagoon, or Graveyard being added will likely not happen.
1 Year later, I noticed that "Jellyfish Fields" is saying it's possible, but actually it's false. Like you said with the messy leaderboard, which I'm not gonna repeat because that would take forever, if we were to do just that level "ALONE", there would be no way to complete the Reef Blower Mission as you need 100 Jellyfish to do so. However, if my memory is correct, there are at least 70ish Jellyfish in the area. So that level would also be impossible too. That's all I wanted to say there, nothing else further.
