This Ghost Valley is longer than the first, and features more sudden drop offs and sharp turns. Like other Ghost Valley courses, the blocks on the sides of the bridges can be knocked off the course on contact, making it easier to fall off the course. It also features a zipper at the end of the course, which may save time but is difficult to use, since it is placed right after a curve at the edge of the track. Just after the zipper there is a [[ramp]] with a [[? Panel]] behind it. The [[Cape Feather|Feather]] is of use at this course again; it can help the player to jump over the gap soon after the start, while others would normally take the regular track around (where the two ? Panels are).
This Ghost Valley is longer than the first and features more sharp turns. It begins with two 90° turns to the right, with the first set of [[? Panel]]s in between, followed by a 90° turn to the left. Racers then take a slight left turn followed by two sharp 90° right turns On the outside of the first right turn is two more ? Panels. There is then a 90° left turn followed by an especially sharp right turn and then a slight right turn, where a brief straight then brings racers to the finish line. On the right side of this brief straight, there is a [[Dash Panel|zipper]] followed by a jump pad, and a ? Panel immediately after the jump pad; racers must use a well timed hop to be able to reach the ? Panel.

Most of the course is surrounded by tiles which act as guard rails, but bumping into a tile will destroy it, allowing racers to go through the subsequent gap and fall off the course.
 
===Shortcuts===
A notable shortcut can be found after the first left turn. The player can go to the right side of the track and use a [[Cape Feather|Feather]] to jump over a gap and cut off the following right turn.

The visual changes made to [[SNES Ghost Valley 1]] were also applied to this course. A [[Glide Ramp]] was added near the end of the course, which is reversed when playing on SNES Ghost Valley 2R. In this course's T variant, a road has been added taking drivers across the abyss towards the middle of the course, leading into a glide ramp. A [[wooden cutout]] of [[Boo]]s has been added at the ramp shortcut, similar to SNES Ghost Valley 1.

As with other courses in the game, Ghost Valley 2 has a reverse variant, a trick variant, and a reverse/trick variant referred to as '''Ghost Valley 2R''', '''Ghost Valley 2T''', and '''Ghost Valley 2R/T''' respectively; the former two were introduced alongside the regular variant in the 2022 Mario vs. Luigi Tour, while the latter was added in the [[Halloween Tour (2022)|2022 Halloween Tour]].
The course also appears as '''Ghost Valley 2R''' (reversed), '''Ghost Valley 2T''' (with ramps), and '''Ghost Valley 2R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two were introduced alongside the normal variant in the 2022 Mario vs. Luigi Tour, while the latter was added in the [[Halloween Tour (2022)|2022 Halloween Tour]]. In the R/T variant, there are big [[Piranha Plant]]s along the course.
