You say it's more about luck than skill, but then you go on to say that the better players win more often than not, which is true, hence skill is most important. And I don't what you mean by the better players being penalized, as items can affect you regardless of what position you're in. And if you don't like the series then stop buying the games! xP

Better players will win more often than not in Mario Kart.  Compare that to other kart racers, games or non kart racers that have weapons, games like Chocobo Racing, Crash Bandicoot, or Wipeout, where you're not penalized the higher the place you're in, and getting a lucky item will barely matter in the long run as the best player will win almost every time.  Compare that the games that don't even have weapons, giving even less of a chance for the best player to lose.

That has nought to do with my point though, being that skill is still the most important thing in Mario Kart. The luck factor is what makes it addictive and highly appealing!
