SML2:6GC isn't the best example to bring up, due to it obsoleting the previous run that wasn't labeled "glitched", because the previous run abused a glitch that was part of the "glitched" run, and so the two runs were considered too similar to be separated. Doesn't mean a non-glitched run can't be submitted, it just can't use the glitch. It'd be like if you used the walk-through-walls glitch to TAS ALTTP without skipping to the credits, and still tried to submit it as a non-glitched run.
I understand now why the old runs were obsoleted, however, if that run was published then shouldn't this one as well? I mean, they almost do the same thing. (not exactly the same, but to me very similar)

I feel that this SMW run bears a striking resemblance to GB SML2:6GC http://tasvideos.org/1886M.html - completely breaks the game sequence - debugs/modifies memory to "summon" end screen - skips 95% of the game For some reason that video was hailed and accepted, and even obsoleted full game runs (which I don't think was right), as well as became a "notable publication". If anything, this run should definately be published but put in a "glitched" category as to preserve runs that don't just summon end screen and beat the game properly.
