      It's really funny because I was extremely good at this when I was younger, but couldn't use it anywhere because I would hit faster than the gamecube controller could properly input, so I'd lose every button-mashing minigame in Mario Party if I did it.

    i play simple games like this all the time with my students(elementary). they love it, if you go to the timer you can play max hits where you hit the flags on the timer as many times in an agreed amount of time. another game is hitting the start and stop on the timer twice to get a single fastest speed. (usually only milliseconds). and the last one is where a student hits the start button and tries to stop it exactly at a given time like 3 seconds. -in addition you can play this with your eyes closed.

    On Mashy Mashy (a training homebrew game/rom for NES, used for Ninja Gaiden practice) I can do Up + B presses at around 12-14 times per second on original hardware (NES + NES004 controller), which is interesting because on emulator with a logitech contoller I only get around 8-10. You need to be able to do around 15-16 for plate kills in Ninja Gaiden speedrunning, to which there is several people that can pull this off (I'm not even close). To me this is a bit more impressive than simply putting the input device down on a table and vibrating your arm in a rigid manner.
