"2-player" "3-player" etc seems unambiguous as I don't think people would confuse it with multiple authors.
I'll have to disagree with that. I think it is a bit ambiguous.
Maybe "2-player mode"? (Similarly, "3-player mode" and "4-player mode"). "Mode" refers directly to the game, not the authors.
As an aside, we should emphasize that authors are authors, not players. To say that an author is a player is like saying that making a TAS of a game is playing the game. Sure, we could say that we are "playing around" with the game.

Sonic 2 has a two player mode, but the latest run plays single player mode. The run also uses tails, a second character. Your category does not work for this game. What do you use instead?

Does "uses" means "controls"? Or is tails controlled by the computer?

...Have you really not watched either Sonic 2 or S3&K lately? Wow.
Regardless, both Sonic and Tails are controlled with two controllers. Both have a two player mode but this is not used.

I don't understand. It doesn't use the 2-player mode, but still controls two characters simultaneously with two controllers? How is that not 2-player mode?
Tails is controlled by the computer up until the second controller sends some input to the game, at which point he's put under the control of that controller.

Ok, but I still don't see how that is not 2-player mode.

Because there is a dedicated two-player mode which is different to the single-player mode in almost every possible way. It is a two player mode of sorts (although 2p can come in and out of play whenever he wants), but not the two player mode.

Sonic 2's (and 3's, for that matter) two-player mode is split-screen competition. There are always two characters playing, the AI never takes control of anything.
The one-player mode has the option of being just Sonic, just Tails, or Sonic with Tails controlled by the AI, though if any button is pressed on the second controller, the second controller controls Tails until he slides too far off screen. The game's title screen refers to this mode as '1-Player', so it is considered thus.

Thank you for your help, Rolanmen1. I have fixed all but one (which was fixed by Sonikkustar).
I suspect that several movies are missing tags, so I would like to ask TASVideos' members for help; if you have any movies published on the site, could you check them to see if all is correct and report in their respective submission topic any omission or mistake that you find? If you don't have any published movies but are familiar with certain games, your help would be appreciated as well.

I propose a new category:
Abuses randomly generated levels
It is for submissions that take advantage of manipulation of randomly generated levels to drastically make the game much shorter.
A starting list of things to include in the category would be this:
http://tasvideos.org/368M.html
"Aims for maximum score" should be removed, because doing so actually costs time and it isn't a good tag for such a game where you have to keep moving.
On the other hand, maybe "Contains speed/entertainment trade-offs" should be added because the author stated that he was showing off some things you can do in the game. I think the next TAS of this game will avoid this however, to speed things up.

Why is this thread being used to complain about movie tags (not) applied to a specific movie?! Go post this stuff in the movie threads themselves. This is a discussion about movie tags (and their applications) in general.

Perhaps we should have a thread for exactly these types of reports (and all the reports here moved to that thread). If any editor is watching and applying the corrections, it will be significantly easier to notice them when they are all collected into one single thread rather than being scattered around.
