For any run of the game, would magic items (namely Winged Boots and Ghost Swords/Sparx) be allowed? It would reduce time in specific sections of the game, especially boss fights with the latter.
I have some ideas for Category Extensions for the series:
- 100% (numerous games, rules show 500%) a) Timer start with selecting the file on Spyro’s Adventure b ) Timer is paused when the credits start rolling after all achievements are obtained. c) Timer starts again upon selecting new file on Giants. d) Repeat process through Giants, Swapforce, Trap Team, and Superchargers. e) Timer ends upon beating The Darkness with all achievements f) Skipping cutscenes is allowed
Alternates: 200% (Same as above, except with only Spyro’s Adventure and Giants) 300% (SA, G, SF) 400% (SA, G, SF, TT) 600% (SA, G, SF, TT, SC, I)
Variants: NG+ (Skylanders do not need to be reset) Regular (All Skylanders used must be reset)
Note: There could be a modification to rules that allows games to be beaten out of order. Until then, games are to be beaten in order of release.
- Any% (numerous games, rules show Any% 5) a) Timer starts upon selecting the file on Spyro’s Adventure b ) Timer is paused when the credits start to roll c) Timer starts again upon selecting the next file on Giants d) Repeat process for Giants, Swap Force, Trap Team, and Superchargers e) Timer ends on the last hit to defeat The Darkness f) Skipping cutscenes is allowed
Alternates: 200% (Same as above, except with only Spyro’s Adventure and Giants) 300% (SA, G, SF) 400% (SA, G, SF, TT) 600% (SA, G, SF, TT, SC, I)

The current Any% NG+ run uses the Wabbit Ears. Are the other hats allowed, or are Wabbit Ears the best that can be done in terms of speed?
My friend and i are practicing for a Warpless Co-op Speedrun. We may also later attempt All Castles and 100%. When we submit a run, could a moderator create a new category?
