"precipprops" lets you create a new precipitation type by picking a mobj type to use, how many random states it has, and flags for effects such as thunder/lightning. Seesound on the mobj type sets an ambient sound (like rain drops) and mass sets the sound's frequency in tics. This could open up the possibility for SOC/Lua Weather options later.
Preview is fairly basic, and only shows players
rewinding. Full state is restored via reloading
the replay and jumping to the timestamp once
the rewind is done.

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.

Do not run shields
Shield objects are not run under the vanilla system; the Thunder Shield is a domain-specific recreation using a standard mobjthinker.

SRB2Kart does not have special stages.
