You're playing on Switch so I guess that's the same as the NES release? Here's the current world record for all levels

Here's a run from a GamesDoneQuick event which means the commentary will probably explain more than usual

Oh and here are the number of levels played by each character from the end of that GDQ run lol

The world record is 1, 5, 13, and 1
