* majormods and savemoddata cannot coexist as true values, so going through and making situations that involve both only reference one.
* Clean up comments in `dehacked.c`.
* Save gamedata in Y_UpdateRecordReplays(), so that you never unfairly lose out on your spoils by setting modifiedgame before the game ends.
* Always save your matchesplayed/totalplaytime increase at the successful completion of a level.
* Apply the "YOU ARE THIS PERSON" highlight to all non-splitscreen circumstances that use the tiny player icons. (New locations: Tab rankings, intermission, completed votes.)
(Huge change: NO_MIDI is now a define, simply because that makes it easier for me to resolve merge conflicts if I can see the original code and the new code. Also means that people who REALLY miss MIDI can compile & fix it themselves :P)
* Do that thing where the character icons are ALWAYS 1x sized, through having two seperate lumps.
* Revamp the S_SKIN parameters to be `facerank` (rankings - equivalent of half-scale old face), `facewant` (WANTED - equivalent of old face), and `facemmap` (equivalent of old iconprefix).
* Do that thing Oni wanted where it shows two postions above and two positions below your current ranking (and you) to the left of the screen, instead of always the top 4, with some limits to avoid drawing outside of everything.
* Replace the last few shitty Mario numbers (for the left rankings) with cool, new Oni numbers.
* Change a bunch of offsets and things so the tab rankings and the intermission work nicer with 9+ players.
* Make the white intro fade always drawn, rather than potentially disable-able through tab or HUD disable.
* Slightly increase the darkness of the intermission fade, since its current value had a negative effect on SKINCOLOR_SAPPHIRE.

Everything to do with setting states for starposts
In SRB2Kart, starposts are invisble. We don't need to loop through all thinkers just to set their states when there's no visible effect of the state-setting. In addition, it has no consequences for gameplay - starposts have long been silent here, and all checking is done regarding their health, not their state.
Remove extremely low-traffic conditionals (MT_FLINGEMERALD collision height extension, for example)
These objects serve no functional purpose during regular SRB2Kart gameplay. Why should every other object have to pay an admittedly minor performance hit just for them?
Disable all mechanisms of damaging bosses or enemies with the player's physical contact
With the exception of Sapphire Coast, no MF_ENEMY objects exist in the entirety of the standard roster. In addition, the conditions for damaging the enemies were impossible to achieve, because they required vanilla SRB2 mechanics such as "jumping", "spindashing", or "super". Therefore, they can be safely commented out.
Disable NiGHTS-related material (excepting bumper, hoop, and wing-emblem objects)
NiGHTS is fundamentally incompatible with regular kart gameplay and I believe was already broken. Therefore, any mechanism which enters, aids, or abets it can be safely disabled.
Comment out Tag mechanisms
Tag is the only vanilla multiplayer gametype which has sufficient gameplay depth and complexity (HEYOOOOOOOOO) to require dedicated thinking in and of itself in order to manage. This thinking is irrelevant to Kart's functioning, and can be neutered easily.

Disable several devmode commands which are irrelevant to SRB2Kart gameplay
When investigating for references to NiGHTS material, I discovered that these remained untouched. In order to present a more coherent game, I have hidden the ones that serve no purpose for us.

Disable some team-related material
Teams are not present in SRB2Kart at present. Obviously we'd want to reconsider for future, but it doesn't need to be run right now.
