it's like in mario 64, you know, the mirror room? the n64 couldn't do real reflections. so it's just like, a reverse copy of the room and mario. can the simulation handle real reflections along with all the other stuff it's cranking out??

Nobody is doing real mirrors yet. The advanced ones are usually just a viewport of another camera projected onto the plane of the mirror with some extra shaders to make it look more like a mirror.

How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real?

If my reflection was really me it wouldn't raise his right hand when I raise my left

Don't let the mirror people hear you are onto them, or it's you who's gonna have to copy them.
