[h2]⚙️ OPTIMIZATION [/h2]

This patch is to improve disconnects, but also load-in times. A lot of art needed to be optimized and we took this one step further. It will also reduce the space required for Oh Baby Kart. This is a needed step in preparing for how OBK Mobile will work.
- Stage optimisations (including big stages that had issue load-ins, such as Hedges and Volcano)
- Icon loading optimizations

[h2]⏱️ TIME TRIAL BADGES[/h2]

Time trial badges have been updated (Bronze, Silver, Gold and Red). There will be a new time trial event soon(ish). There is no reset though to be clear, so keep working on those times!

[h2]🛡️ GUILD INFO[/h2]

1. A special variation of the Champion Kart in HOH colors have been given to the winners of the guild wars last year (who raced).

2. Guild Banners are integrated, we will need to give you a form to decide who to allocate these banners to, as once allocated, they will not be removed. More info in the next few weeks here.

We still need time to prep guilds going forward. Again, we advise to not do anything drastic until a full video explains guilds going forward for OBK and future games.
