In the fourth generation of consoles, it was not common to have games in Portuguese among the Mega Drive games, even localizations of the games for Brazil were rare. In this scenario, a few Brazilian games were released for the console. One of them was Show do Milhão, based on the SBT auditorium television program of the same name, it is a question and answer game (Quiz).
Frames: 17416

Darkman425: Claiming for judging.
Darkman425: While this submission seems 12 seconds faster than the previous submission, that one wasn't properly truncated. The actual time saved from the previous submission is 37 frames.
While better menuing in a quiz game would initially seem to make up a bulk of that, there's a bit more going on under the hood. The game has a frame based RNG where the next question is determined by when the previous answer is locked in. This submission goes for just the fastest possible answer which happened to be overall faster than the previous submission.
I did some testing myself and while I did manage to save 14 frames of load time for the first question, I couldn't maintain that full time save by the time the second answer was locked in. I kept getting consistently longer loads after that first question from my testing and ended up slower over time. Considering there are 16 answers to lock in, it's incredibly hard to check if an RNG sequence of questions would have an overall shorter load time compared to this submission without pretty much making an entirely new TAS from start to finish.
With all that considered, accepting to Standard. Also removing the branch as it isn't necessary in this case.

despoa: Processing... Awaiting rejudgment.

Darkman425: The the call to reaccept this submission was given to me. Eduardo_EVF, please note that you were warned about disrupting the publication process without any given reason in this post. Please refrain from doing this in the future.

Eduardo_EVF, why did you cancel this and reset it to New in the middle of publication? This is actively disruptive to the site workflow, and given some of your past behavior with submissions, it's hard not to see this as intentionally hostile. If you're having trouble with the submission system, please reach out to us for assistance, otherwise any further disruptions like this will result in you temporarily losing your ability to submit runs. EDIT: I feel I'm not going to get a response here, so I'm giving the go-ahead to restart the publication process.
