That game is as much about pure dumb luck as it is about skill.

I found this speedrun marathon playthrough to be of some help in my ( successful...eventually... ) quest to 3-star all the 200CC cups . The item manipulation strategies mentioned shortly after starting make a pretty substantial difference on their own, and the 200CC-exclusive shortcuts/routes shown are pretty helpful as well.

That said, there is only so much that can be done to defend against an ill-timed lightning bolt or the AI flexing its superhuman muscles from time to time.  I lost track of the number of resets I had to do 3-4 races in on various series...
