Then you might as well play dice.

I don't mind certain portions of luck being involved (otherwise you might as well play Guitar Hero...), but in the latest Mario Kart it was just too much and messed up the whole experience.

I wouldn't say the same about Mario Kart Wii though, which is why I disagree with the OP.

This is a  little to the extreme.  The best player in general wins most game of MK7, with most of my online matches with several people having the wins go to 2 or 3 people with a few outliers.  I find most of these criticisms to be "I think I am the best so I expect to win EVERY TIME!!!!"

While that is a funny thought, it actually goes something like: "OH MY GOD ONCE AGAIN SOMEONE WON BECAUSE I GOT HIT BY A BLUE SHELL RIGHT BEFORE THE FINISH LINE AFTER LEADING THE ENTIRE RACE!".

I do win the great majority of my races, but at the same time the great majority of my losses consist of unjustified bullshit.

This.  I will agree that it is frustrating to lose by getting hit by a blue shell seconds before the finish line.  But it lets people win who may have little to no chance to win otherwise, which I am fine with.

In single player mode, however, that nonsense needs to be fixed, as no one benefits from it.  It just artifically makes the game more "difficult"  Getting 3 stars in every cup was an exercise in frustration, and when you finally do it, there isn't a feeling of accomplishment, just a feeling of "great, I didn't get boned that race"
