Cooper Lovera

Cooper Lovera found the Mario Kart player's page back in October of 2003, and was really excited to have finally found such a site. He subsequently played off and on with sporadic bursts of activity until July of 2006 when he peaked inside the Top 20 and reached the rank of GOD. After that, Cooper more or less retired, with a few PRs here and there, but nothing serious. Nevertheless he is still an active member on the MK forums, and is one of the moderators for the General board there. He also played Mario Kart: Double Dash, reaching a rank of Expert A.

Besides Kart, Cooper has also played Diddy Kong Racing competitively. He is the former world champion for DKR, holding ~60/94 possible World Records at his peak, and is still ranked in the top 3 after a long period of inactivity. He was also a semi-updater for the (now defunct) DKR Player's Page, where he does updates when Michael Poelzl and Alvin Van Asselt are too busy to do so.

Cooper's other video games of choice include anything in the Guitar Hero series. He played these games obsessively for a couple of years, and was one of the top players in the world for Guitar Hero 3 at his peak before he began to lose interest in the competitive scene. Much like kart, he now plays for the enjoyment of the game, and not so much to compete anymore.

Cooper is unclear as to how he managed to become a member of The Elite as he's never played either Goldeneye or Perfect Dark competitively in his life. Nevertheless his occasional visits to the Elite Chatroom, togther with his overall gaming accomplishments, have made him an honourary member.

Aside from gaming, Cooper is into swimming, reading, hanging out with friends and macking on girls. It was reported that Cooper has snacked more chicks than any other karter. Because of such discovery it has been proven that kart does in fact equal chicks. Cooper is a legend for both his snacking and his ability to avoid the aids virus. MKDS kiddies look up to him, fellow karters sneer at his sheer sexiness, and are obviously jealous of all the girls he's gotten. He works as a lifeguard at his local YMCA, and at an outdoor pool during the summer. Cooper is usually in the IRC room and on the messenger, so feel free to drop him a message some time.
