It is RNG luck. So basically if you are lucky you could get Inferior or Normal and if you are really lucky you could get a Superior. Otherwise, you get none. I would recommend using Cow/Giraffe/Lion Cat or any other fast cats to complete the level as quick as possible, so that you can try the level again easily, thus it takes less time to get treasures. Sometimes, you may be really unlucky and not get a Superior after 15+ tries. Don't give up, one day, it will work.

I have a theory that the harder the level, the easier it is to get treasures, but this theory isn't proven. Or at least, not yet.

Some also say that if you keep using the same cat throughout the level, the chance of getting treasures increase. I doubt this theory, as it makes no sense whatsoever.

It is probably not XP earnt based, unlike what DehOnlyONe said, as I have experienced completed levels like Moon then getting Superior on the first try, even though I only cleared it once, and not many times. This also sort of proves the theory I proposed.

And of course, you could also use a Treasure Radar. Treasure Radars make it so that if you clear the level, you will surely get a Superior Treasure (only works for EoC and ItF). For SoL, it means that if you clear the stage, you get a 100% chance of getting whatever the prize is. (there always is.)

I suggest that if you are stuck on a level, get those that would greatly help you in defeating that level. I don't go full out for 48 treasures, usually. Instead, I go for the ones I really need, and get the others at some other day.
