I've thought about this a lot actually and how it might work.  It could definitely be implemented, it flat out won't ever be officially because that would give us a huge leg up on the XBLA players, but maybe could work as a mod some day.  It just requires some outside the box thinking.

A fun idea I had would be a sort of King of The Hill/Juggernaut type mode for 4 players.  You're in these specially designed arena-ish levels with traps littered about, and one person is "it" and tries to stay alive by avoiding traps and jumping from place to place, etc.  The problem is, the other three players want to be "it" and do so by being the one to knock you to your death by bouncing into your body.  When two people collide in the air or on the ground, they would bounce off of each other, the distance depending on momentum and direction etc.  It'd be like extreme sumo wrestling, you try to knock the other guy to his death, and at the end of the round time the person who's been "it" longest wins.  Or you could just do a normal deathmatch based on who has the most kills.  I could actually see this being really fun, and if the stages were well designed you could use all of the different characters without them being horribly unbalanced.  For instance, Naija would be able to hit hardest because of her energy mode, but she'd also have the best chance of accidental suicide.  Tofu Boy would probably still suck.

A racing mode is pretty obvious, but Meatboy levels aren't really designed to accommodate more than one person and the characters aren't at all balanced.  That's why there isn't already a racing mode in the game to begin with.

Co-op could work, the characters are designed like characters in a good co-op game, with complementary strengths and weaknesses, but the level design would have to be restructured.  Again, good potential for modding.

Killing Meat.
It's like Killing Floor except there's less zeds, more deathtraps, and you only have 1 HP and no armor.
Meat Portal - NOW you're grilling with portals

Someone already did that... be more creative!
How bout that: Try to drink huge amounts of cherry whiskey without dying.
And every time you die, you play a SMB-Level.

Meat Fortress 2 - You have to try and steal the enemy team's bandage by using the nine characters available to you. Teams are RED and BRN (brown).

There's also a custom "Fort Wars" modification where you use all the dead corpses you've accumulated over the course of the game to build a fortress to protect your bandage from the other team.

DIRECTOR MODE - this isn't really a good idea, but it would be a mode where someone could set traps (like rocket launching robots, spikes etc) on some areas and try to stop someone from finishing a level... this would require some more thinking tho.

Player 2 blocks the path with 8 saws.
Player 1 rage quits.
Player 2 wins.

The idea is still good:
PUZZLE MODE - think about Trackmania with Meat Boy! You get an unfinished level and you have to place a limited amount of blocks to complete it. The person with the less needed blocks wins.

A few times I've been asked how to get a fast time at a specific level. I tried to explain, but it's kinda hard to explain most of the times. So maybe it'd be helpful if someone could just join you, so you could show it to him live, instead of having to make a video of it.....

Killing Floor crossover would be cool.
Every person uploads his savegame. For every death in the save files, one meat boy zombie spawns. You can only heal once for every bandage that your team has.
