Ghost Valley 2 is the second track of the Flower Cup in Super Mario Kart. This track makes a retro appearance in Mario Kart: Super Circuit as the third track of the Extra Flower Cup, in Mario Kart Wii as the third track of the Shell Cup, and in Mario Kart Tour as of the 2022 Mario vs Luigi Tour.
It is a tricky course because not all of the track is guardrailed, and there are some crooked edges.
Layout[]
Super Mario Kart[]
Ghost Valley 2 is ghost-themed, being very similar to Banshee Boardwalk. The track is very dark and made out of wood, with Boos flying around. Also, the existing railings on the track will fall off when racers hit them, making a hole. After the second sharp, there are some existing railings beside a small hole. One can jump off of the gap and do a trick but it does not save the player a significant amount of time. There is only one Dash Panel in this course, located just before the starting line. This dash panel can be considered a trick, as the players who use it will jump at the jump pad in front of it, thus forcing them to avoid the Item Box. It is similar to other Ghost Valley tracks in Super Mario Kart.
Mario Kart: Super Circuit[]
The track is changed a little as far as the map, but the same basic turns are still there, along with falling walls. Ghost Valley 2, along with all the other Super Mario Kart tracks, return to this game. It is unlocked by getting 100 coins in the Flower Cup. You unlock the Extra Flower Cup with this. The shortcut in the middle of the track is extremely hard to execute, and, in fact, it can only be completed by a Heavy racer (unless you are super skilled in the ways of Mario Kart). This is because of the absence of the Feather Item that was in Super Mario Kart. Instead of Boos as the background, it has been changed to the Boo Lake background.
Mario Kart Wii[]

This course returns in Mario Kart Wii, being the 3rd track on the Shell Cup. It still retains its original behavior, such as railings that fall off when hit. There are spinning circles of item boxes, behaving like ghost circles.
Mario Kart Tour[]
Ghost Valley 2 reappears nearly 14 years later as one of the tracks in the 2022 Mario vs Luigi Tour in Mario Kart Tour. It keeps its updated design from Wii, though with higher resolution graphics. Very little gameplay additions were added, only major updates were the addition of a cardboard cutout guarding the first shortcut, and a new glider ramp toward the end of the track.
Shortcuts[]
- Shortly after the beginning, there is a tricky shortcut you can take where you could either use a feather or a mushroom. In Mario Kart Wii, this shortcut merely requires you to trick in order to get to the other side.
- In its Mario Kart Wii appearance, there was a large shortcut discovered where if you were to align your vehicle correctly towards the edge of the pole on the right side of the finish line, using a mushroom boost would make you clip the pole and send you flying through a sizeable gap, knocking off a good amount of time if done correctly.

Trivia![]
- This course and Moo Moo Meadows are the only courses in Mario Kart Wii that never had a tournament take place on it.
- Out of the three Ghost Valleys, this one was the most remade.
- This is the shortest track in Mario Kart Wii.
- Because of this, it's the only track in the game where a Staff Ghost completes the track in under one minute.
