You make it sound like getting through a checkpoint is a game of chance...

To some extent it can be. The movements and timings can be so precise, that getting through could be mere luck. I probably wouldn't be able to immediately do a bunch of the sections a second time.

And yeah, you can play them again and again and eventually get good enough to do them all in one go with minimal deaths… but this is not required to beat the game, nor is even half that level of mastery.
