Crash Team Racing 2025 Dragon Mines Developer Time 'Ghost Skip'

I found this by mistake so unsure if it's known, but it's sometimes possible a Nintendo switch asks you to reconnect your controllers at the start of the race. So I discovered that in pushing the pairing button on top of the pro controller right as (or anytime) that the countdown lights for the race appear 🚦 and simply reconnecting the contoller skips the sequence, and leaves the developer ghost behind. While I'm not consistent enough to check whether this counts as beating the dev time, it does achieve 2 things: 1. it prevents William P's ghost from hopping around in the foreground, which some players may find distracting 2. it actually changes the mine cart cycles to be somewhat less annoying 🙂 (I've got 4 dev times left by the way)
