At the start of the {{wp|Tiergarten (park)|Tiergarten}} section after the first curve, there is a path with slightly darker grass with a lower relief to the right that can only be taken with the use of a [[Dash Mushroom]]. Once taken, it leaves racers to the street leading to the Brandenburg Gate. | At the start of the {{wp|Tiergarten (park)|Tiergarten}} section after the first curve, there is a path with slightly darker grass with a lower relief to the right that can only be taken with the use of a [[Dash Mushroom]].

In the standard layout, the racers start the course in a street next to the {{wp|Berlin Cathedral}}, with the [[Brandenburg Gate]] and a few Glide Pads up ahead on the right. After driving or gliding through the gate, players go down the {{wp|Straße des 17. Juni}}, which is littered with [[Car (obstacle)|cars]] (which act as [[ramp]]s) that lead through the {{wp|Tiergarten (park)|Tiergarten}} (formally referred to as "Großer Tiergarten" in Germany) to {{wp|Großer Stern}} where the {{wp|Berlin Victory Column}} resides. After players make a sharp turn right around the Victory Column, they must make an S-curve into a train station; the exterior is based on {{wp|Berlin Hauptbahnhof}}, while the interior takes inspiration from its predecessor station, Lehrter Stadtbahnhof. Inside, they can either drive down the tracks, on the island platform, or take a small shortcut through a stationary {{wp|Berlin S-Bahn}} trainset (this train is not directly based on a specific model, but it most closely resembles the {{wp|DR Class 270}} with some inspiration from the {{wp|DB Class 420}}) that leads them through another winding S-curve behind the Berlin Cathedral. Half of the S-curve is sunken into the ground, allowing for tricks to be performed at the beginning and ending of the dip, though only the raised portion has [[coin]]s. Here, the [[Wikipedia:Fernsehturm Berlin|Berlin Television Tower]] is visible in the background. Afterwards, taking a right turn brings the players to the street where the finish line awaits them. | In the standard layout, the racers start the course in a street next to the {{wp|Berlin Cathedral}}, with the [[Brandenburg Gate]] and a few Glide Pads up ahead on the right.

On the R/T variant of this course, the first red ramp redirects players onto the green train track leading out of the Bahnhof, before continuing on like normal. [[Thwomp]]s also appear at the Brandenburg Gate. Despite not being accessible in the course's normal variant, a patch of road from the T version is shown on Berlin Byways 2's map, making Berlin Byways 2 one of two courses in ''Mario Kart Tour'' to include a section of the course on the minimap that is not accessible in the main variant, the other being [[GBA Boo Lake]]. In both cases, the exclusive sections are removed from the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' version of the course. | On the R/T variant of this course, the first red ramp redirects players onto the green train track leading out of the Bahnhof, before continuing on like normal.

Throughout the course, alongside moving coins and [[Item Box]]es, moving cars and trucks appear as obstacles. In the course's regular and T variants, trucks have surfboards on the back that the players can perform Jump Boosts off of, similarly to the ones in {{classic-link|N64|Toad's Turnpike}} and {{classic-link|DS|Shroom Ridge}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''; exclusively in the regular variant, one truck has a [[Piranha Plant]] in tow. | Throughout the course, alongside moving coins and [[Item Box]]es, moving cars and trucks appear as obstacles.
