Co-op is great fun indeed. There are in fact two moves one can't do unless they are IN co-op. One is the side dash, which aside from it's ability to steal items is pretty much like the one in F-Zero. The other is the Double Dash, which happens if BOTH players hit A just as the race starts. (I find the best way to do that is not to time it yourself, that last "ding" seems a millisecond off so the timing will always be wrong. Rather, watch the lakitu's hand to see when to hit the button. Ever since I started doing THAT I ALWAYS hit A at just the right time.) Interesting techniques to make co-oping it up more interesting. Too bad those who decided to stick with one player per kart end up lacking these moves, meaning a match with a mix will give a good team an unfair advantage. With the whole team thing, one's attention can be fully focused on one specific task, and I've found I can break all manner of records when I team up with a good player.
Also, I've unlocked mirror mode, but only after one special little mode. There's an All-Cup Tour mode. That's right, all 16 tracks one after the other. It's interesting. The funny thing is on 50cc, I ended up winning so many matches that I could have flat out lost in the last 3 and STILL won 1st overall. On 150cc, it was a struggle to stay ahead. In any case, now for mirror mode. I believe it's in 150cc, or it feels that way at any rate. What I'm not sure about is how fast time trial is set at. I assume 150cc, but I haven't played that much in that mode.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
