New York Minute 2

New York Minute 2 is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after and inspired by New York City set in nighttime, and is the second layout of the overall New York Minute course. It made its debut as the featured course of the 2019 Holiday Tour due to New York City's nature of hosting New Year's Eve in every year. Compared to the first layout, this course takes a different route to get to, as well as taking a different route at the end to get to the finish line which involves gliding while avoiding Water Geysers coming out of manholes.

The course is a favorite of Pauline and Yoshi (Reindeer).

The course also appears as New York Minute 2R (reverse), New York Minute 2T (with ramps), and New York Minute 2R/T (reverse and with ramps).

Course layout
In the standard layout, all of the racers start the course in front of. Just after the starting line, the road bends in a sinusoidal curve to the left and then the right through and ends in a cobblestone path that leads into. In the park, the road takes a sharp turn to the right and circles back to the bordering road, where it takes an abrupt left. After a sharp right turn, the players reach a Glide Ramp while approaching the Empire State Building. After two sharp right turns, the players return to the starting line.
