Oh God. That was me again.
Considering you can get another game for free right now, I would say yes.

I'm doing okay in Battle Mode, but I am really sucking in the race mode. I'm thinking I should 3-star all the single-player tracks on 150cc before coming back.

Twisted Mansion bottom 5 track in the game
I think I won 2 or 3 other NeoGAF races a dozen minutes ago. That adds to the one this morning (PAL land) 
It's pretty much like true racing (with warmups etc) when you go online, you have to stay for several races to hope to win (with good players at least I mean).
First you have to race your way to the 3-4 first places on the start line when you begin a race. Then the first half a lap is very important to position yourself out of the pack, and collect enough coins.
If you manage that, you're probably 1st or 2nd and then without driving errors you have a chance to win.
It's not a general rule but that's the way I feel the game online so far.
It's not broken like Mario Kart Wii or DS, where you had to be 1st and all the others players were pounding themselves in the pack, allowing the driver in 1st to quietly win his race far ahead.

Gordon Freeman has bad taste confirmed.
I know right? I do everything I can to get at least next to last. Last is just, no. Fuck you I'm not finishing last. lol. Last night I got an 8 item while in last. Launched everything within 3 seconds and finished 4th.
Also online was my first taste of 150cc. I adapted to it pretty quickly going from 100cc. Fun as hell.

Anyway, I need to make a setup that doesn't have shit traction to make tight turns.

The super fat characters seem so much slower than the metal characters. It's like impossible to get back up front if you make a mistake.
Preach it, brother! Toad Harbour is GOAT.
