Full-game category change suggestion

For the full-game categories, I'm suggesting that we change it to being categories based on cups, instead of the cc's.

For example, have a lasagna cup category, pizza cup category, hamburger cup category, ice cream cup category, and then the "all cups" category only requires you to play through them all on one cc instead of all 3.

This is how other racing games organize their categories, as there's really no point in having "all cups" separated by engine class, and then having to play every cup 3 times for the full all cups category.

Example game of what I'm talking about: https://www.speedrun.com/mkdd

I also wish that we could just do one cup runs. When going for all cup runs the game soft locks most of the time which is extremely annoying. I want to speedrun the game, but not commit 30 minutes to a run for a soft lock. Running one cup wouldn’t have to worry about soft locks at all.

We discussed this at length in the community discord, and here are the changes we all agreed on:

Create the following main categories: "Lasagna Cup" "Pizza Cup" "Hamburger Cup" "Ice Cream Cup" "All Cups"

With NO restriction on what CC was used (though a tag for what was used would be a nice addition) and separated by PC and 3DS, of course.

Move all current times (with the exception of the two "all cups, all CC's" runs done by myself and snowfats) on the full-game leaderboard into the new "All Cups" category to preserve the history of the game.

Create a "miscellaneous" category and move mine and snowfats' "all cups all CC's" runs into a "All Cups All CC's" subcategory.

Treat "miscellaneous" as an open meme category for future meme runs.

Did this not end up happening?

No, not yet at least.

The vast majority of activity for this game is in the PC IL category, so we have been focusing on adding categories for that instead of full-game. That being said, I still would like to at least add individual cup categories for full-game at some point in time.
