Frustration on Mario games?!

Okay, just gotten the Wellington Boots in Mario & Luigi Paper Jam, and already that's become the most frustrating thing in the Mario series for me.

Why? Cause it turns out to get this:

You need to be lucky when countering a certain attack from a certain rare enemy in a certain area. It's maybe a one in ten thousand chance, if you're not lucky.

No offence to anyone, but I consider that poor design.

Mario Kart Wii is the closest I can think of, where it's impossible to get a triple star rank in the Shell Cup (any other cup is fine), even if your performance was perfection, unless you drive freaking offroad and perform a trick on a ramp intended for Mushrooms and stuff in some stages (namely Peach Beach and Mario Raceway).

For me it's the Leaf Cup, I swear it's a nightmare to get triple stars.

I actually won all matches with Mario, Toad, Boo, and Dry Bones, including against Petey Piranha. Never got into Sudden Death either. The first match with Petey was like 3-2 in favor of me, and the second one was 0-5 in favor of me. Still proud that I trounced that wretched plant thing.
 
that's because you got practice in crystal cup thanks to the 60 minutes cheat.

Uhh... Just get first place 4 times? I found it pretty easy. Are you sure you're referring to the right Mario Kart?

Because if you find MK7 hard, then don't even attempt any previous Mario Kart, where you have to get first every time while never hitting any items, hitting a wall, going off road, etc.

I fell off once in Mario Kart Wii. I got triple stars

Your performance doesn't need to be perfect, you just need to perform great.

Cheep Cheep Lagoon is a pain in the ass sometimes, but what exactly is going wrong? As long as you drift properly and make good use of your items, you should do fine.

I've heard really awful things about that challenge, so I'm inclined to hate it.
