All right, I get that it's already known as "100 Egg". On the other hand, "No Sorceress Skip" doesn't make sense to me, because it's not like the boss fight itself can be skipped, but only the 100 eggs requirement.
That's fair. "Any% No Sorceress Door Skip" could work then. "100 Egg" is still going to be the best bet for visibility.

Its called 100 egg because the amount of eggs needed to open the final boss (sorceress's) door. We do collect 101, but nobody calls it that.

I already watched the TAS but I'm gonna watch it again... I will give a proper feedback after that.
Meanwhile, I wanted to talk about the branch label. It looks cool! It's just like SM64 publications, where the label indicates the amount of stars collected (120, 70, 16, 1, 0, etc.) however... this submission doesn't collect 100 eggs, but actually 101! So I guess that it would make more sense for the label to reflect that?
To add onto this a little bit, we don't actually collect 101 eggs "during the run". For TAS and RTA runs alike, timing ends before the Sorceress egg is awarded. The egg is, in effect, part of the credits sequence. Admittedly, the run would not be considered complete if we chose not to collect it, but, as waffle alluded to, the naming convention of calling it 100 Egg is very well established within the Spyro speedrunng community already and changing it would cause confusion and maybe prevent people from finding it as easily. Any% No Sorceress Skip is the more precise name. Colloquially, 100 Egg.
