People that claim that Mario Kart Wii doesn't involve skill...

I agree it does involve skill of course but the outcome of the race involves less skill and more chance than other racers. Getting hit by a shell and then a bomb right before the finish line can lose you a place or two when you're in a really close race. That doesn't happen in other racers.

You're not getting hit by a bomb if you are in first.  People in second don't have them.  The outcome of the race doesn't involve nearly as much luck as you think.  For someone to get a 9999 VR, which many of the people that I have listed have, you have to win a ridiculous amount of races in a row.  How could someone achieve this through luck?  They can't.  They beat all the people that consider the game to be a crapshoot about 50 times in a row.
