I'm new to the speedrunning scene and starting yesterday I've been practicing to do my first ever speedrun. In my practicing, I've found a way to shave some time off in a particular location by closing the game and re-opening it. This would make it so I don't have to sit through unnecessary cutscenes after getting the bios I need.

However, I wanted to make an account ahead of time so I could ask if this was allowed. While closing the game does save time, I don't want to get comfortable doing so until I know that it's okay to do so.
