I have been, lately. On Mario Kart 8 I 3-starred all the 50cc and 100cc and all the original maps of 150cc (Boomerang Cup 150cc is kicking my ass). But getting exactly the combo of Blue Shell, start going, Red Shell, passed 50ft from the finish, then getting second seemed particularly egregious and only happened a few times. It feels like the game Kobayashi-Maru-ing me (you can do everything right but still fail).
I guess you don’t play Mario Kart all that much?
