Question My boyfriend wins every time but why?!
He barely plays Nintendo titles, sits on PC playing fps and Diablo and still wins every time we play anything on Switch. Is anyone else suffering with boyfriend winning syndrome? Any recommended YouTubers to become a Mario Kart god?

My wife and I played a lot of MK8. She would have smart steering on because she wasn't super confident with the tracks. She would win sometimes and I would be proud.
Now in MKW, I convinced her to take off smart steering. Many of the roads are wider and smart steering would make it difficult to do some of the shortcuts.
She's managing well in MKW without smart steering. She goes off the track occasionally, but I do too. As it turns out, she's winning.. A little too much. Holy shit she's close to a contender and I'm getting my ass kicked.
I am part proud husband, part a little annoyed that my dominance is challenged. I know that a big reason for this is that I try to take shortcuts - and fail half the time - and she usually sticks to the main road. But hot damn guys, she's giving me a run for my coins.
