Why is this run even allowed? Can I just claim world record without a video too?

The run isn't the actual World Record TBH .... when the run was submitted, the highlight wasn't created, and zoasty is actually grindind for a better time, so he doesn't really care anymore about this run, since it's not his pb

that's why the run doesn't have, (and won't have, except a mod do the job ) a video for the submission ....

I wonder when the 41:19 would be approved. Runs get approved rather slow in Super Metroid.

Here's the 41:23 that the WR entry refers to:

Here's Zoast's second 41:23 that's slightly faster:

And here's the 41:19 that's actually the current WR:

zoast hasn't submitted the 41:19 yet because he has chosen not to submit it. We're not slow at approving, there's nothing to approve. We can't force him to submit his runs.

"Runs get approved rather slow in Super Metroid."

This game doesn't even require verification on here, dude. What are you talking about?

yep.
