Force Ghost/Opaque Effect [JoshuaMK]

With this code you can force the game to load you as a ghost in Time Trials, and/or force the cpu to load as a normal racer.
In 1P vs. and Grand Prix mode this code causes three cpus to not drive at all. Multiplayer vs. mode has not been tested.

Not holding any buttons make everyone normal

Wow, this is a very nice code. Racing as a ghost is pretty cool. When the TT first loaded (using 'ghost' mode), I was in live view mode. Once I pressed any button to toggle the rear camera (then switch back to forward), my camera angle changed to being normal.

The opaque is funny, the moment the race started, I got bumped over by the ghost's opaque character.

Nice work!
