Since there's been demand for it, if you're interested in having a misc. category on the boards that isn't already there, feel free to message a mod of that game with the category/rules that associate with it and it'll most likely get added.
Although the point of miscellaneous is to add competition to the more arbitrary/fun aspects of a game, It is advised that a category shouldn't be too similar to other misc. runs/main categories to avoid clutter on the boards.
Also, feel free to submit times to the boards for runs you've done in the past, i'll list categories that have been added since this post.
Spyro 1 -Cheat% -80 Dragons -Vortex%
Spyro 2 -64 Orb
Spyro 3 -149 Egg
I'd also add that the misc. category shouldn't align too closely with any official categories, either- noodles% was rendered obsolete by the Sorceress skip slashing the run down to any% two hubs, go to Fireworks.
Bone dance is somewhat close to this still, but the bone route is still distinct from what's done in 117% so I suppose it would get a pass.
Spyro 2 is already a bit of a mess when it comes to categories but some form of NG+ All Abilities would be nice to see- I remember some fun races with that way back in the day. (Gulp skip does somewhat reduce the need for this as now NG+ only affects Glimmer, Crush, Gulp and Dragon Shores, while all abilities would affect the SF hub route and remove Dragon Shores)
Other than those points, I think the misc. categories for the original trilogy are pretty well represented- maybe 64 orb and 149 egg to go along with 80 dragon, as both have been done by a couple people.
I think the only 2 that should be added at this point are for Spyro 1, and they should be Cheat% and Vortex%
Not to say I am opposed to adding more, those are just the only ones I personally care to see on the leaderboards.
"I'd also add that the misc. category shouldn't align too closely with any official categories, either- noodles% was rendered obsolete by the Sorceress skip slashing the run down to any% two hubs, go to Fireworks."
I guess it was implied but I edited the post to show that it shouldn't be close to main ones either, although I wouldn't mind having noodles up as an exception personally since it's just a part of history at this point.
Either way it's just for fun so not going to be hard about most things.
I would request demo 4% for Spyro 1, but I honestly don't want to see it there till someone else attempts a run of it.
Demo% run for Spyro 1 would require specifics like which Spyro 1 demo you're using.
Because there's differences in which levels are in the demo, depending on which region disc you're playing it on, and whether or not you're playing it on a PlayStation Magazine disc, or PlayStation Interactive Sampler disc, or through a secret code on the Crash Bandicoot Warped title screen that unlocks a hidden Spyro 1 demo.
All I know is that the US Region Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped hidden Spyro 1 demo contains Artisans Home, but missing a dragon over by Toasty's dragon mouth, and contains Town Square, but in place of Stone Hill, and there's a hidden Sunny Flight level behind the wall over by the stepping stones.
Other than that, the portal to Dark Hollow is boarded off, and the portal above the whirlwind is boarded off.
Oh, and there's only 7 dragons available to rescue, and 600 gems to collect, and 1 egg, available in that demo.
Oh, and Toasty's dragon mouth doesn't open when you complete one of the lands in the demo.
There is a way to glitch into Toasty, but the game will Crash at the loading screen of entering Toasty, in the demo, as you're trying to enter a level that doesn't exist in that demo.
