'''Ghost Valley 2''' is the second course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. Like [[SNES Ghost Valley 1|its predecessor]], it is a dark bridge surrounded by [[Boo]]s. This course reappears in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' as the third course of the [[Classic course#Mario Kart: Super Circuit|Extra Flower Cup]], in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the third course of the [[Shell Cup]], and in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[Mario vs. Luigi Tour (2022)|2022 Mario vs. Luigi Tour]].

==Course layout==
[[File:SMK Ghost Valley 2.png|thumb|left|[[Yoshi]] racing on the course]]
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).

Ghost Valley 2 reappears in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', and is the third track of the [[Classic course#Mario Kart: Super Circuit|Extra Flower Cup]]. It uses the background from [[GBA Boo Lake|Boo Lake]]. The [[Dash Panel]] and [[ramp]] in front of the last [[Item Box]], as well as the legs holding up the track, were removed.

==''Mario Kart Wii''==
[[File:Ghost Valley 2 MKWii.png|thumb|230px|Ghost Valley 2 in ''Mario Kart Wii'']]
Ghost Valley 2 also reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the third race of the [[Shell Cup]]. Since there are no Feathers in the game, a ramp was placed at the shortcut, although light and middleweights do not need a boost to get across, while heavyweights need to perform a [[trick]] to do so. In [[Mario_Kart_(series)#Modes_of_play|Time Trial]]s, the blocks on the side do not fall off when the player bumps into them, instead doing so as the race progresses. Silhouettes of what appear to be buildings resembling [[Luigi's Mansion (location)|Luigi's Mansion]] can be seen in the background. This is the shortest course in the game. As such, the expert staff ghost for this course is the only ghost data in ''Mario Kart Wii'' to be less than a minute long.

This course and [[Wii Moo Moo Meadows|Moo Moo Meadows]] are the only courses in ''Mario Kart Wii'' where a [[Mario_Kart_Wii#Tournaments|Tournament]] did not take place.

===Shortcut===
[[File:MKW Ghost Valley 2 Glitch.png|thumb|left|[[Funky Kong]] skipping a large portion of the track]]
When boosting with a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] or charging a [[Mini-Turbo]] into the pole next to the [[Finish Line (object)|finishing line]], the player's vehicle will clip the pole and be sent flying over the bottomless pit, thus skipping a large part of the course. The alignment needs to be on the left side of the right pole.

==''Mario Kart Tour''==

Ghost Valley 2 was first shown in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' during the [[Halloween Tour (2020)|2020 Halloween Tour]] on an announcement banner.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/MarioKartTour/comments/jfdbzz/ghost_valley_2_shown_in_banner_but_not_in_this/ Ghost Valley 2 shown in banner (but not in this tour)]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/kart_tour/status/1319016097253855232]</ref> The course would later return in the [[Mario vs. Luigi Tour (2022)|2022 Mario vs. Luigi Tour]], forty-nine tours later.

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.

The course is a favorite of [[Princess Peach|Peach (Happi)]], [[Penguin Mario]], [[Luigi|Luigi (Golf)]], [[Mario|Mario (Samurai)]], [[Tanooki Mario|Kitsune Luigi]], [[Toadette|Toadette (Astronaut)]], [[Petey Piranha]], and the [[Mii|Cat]], [[Mii|Dry Bowser]], [[Mii|Hammer Bro]], and [[Mii|Rocky Wrench Mii Racing Suits]]. It can also be a favorite of [[Toad (species)|Pink Toad (Pit Crew)]] if he reaches level 6 and [[Petey Piranha|Petey Piranha (Gold)]] if he reaches level 8. 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]].
