{{classic title}}
'''Donut Plains 2''' is the third course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. Like the [[Donut Plains 1|first Donut Plains course]], it is curvy, full of mud pits and it features a lake the player can fall in. The most obvious difference to the first course are the [[Monty Mole]]s jumping out of their molehills and right onto the player's [[kart]] if he contacts them in the wrong moment. In addition, the road is much more narrow in some places, compared to Donut Plains 1.

The course begins with a brief straight followed by a left turn and the only set of [[? Panel|Question Block]]s. Racers then take a gradual left turn followed by a right turn and a left turn; along the turns there are several [[Monty Mole|Gopher]]s, which jump out of their molehills and right onto the player's [[kart]] if they contact them in the wrong moment. Racers then take a U-turn to the right immediately followed by a U-turn to the left; on the outside of the left turn is more Gophers. A gradual left turn then leads racers into another right U-turn, followed by a brief straight with some slippery mud. Afterwards there is one last left U-turn with more Gophers, and racers reach the finish line shortly after. Unlike the other Donut Plains courses, racers do not need to cross over water at any point.

Additionally, the first and last Monty Moles in the first group were removed, and the remaining ones were moved forward. The second group was reduced from eight to four, with the first three spread out along their curve's starting width. Only two Monty Moles remain on the last U-Turn.

The second group was reduced from eight to four, with the first three spread out along their curve's starting width. Only two Monty Moles remain on the last U-Turn. Lastly, the Monty Moles in the grass are gone. The course now has a starting banner with the classic Mario Kart logo.
