==Course layout==

The race starts on the east side of the lake. Shortly after the first left turn is a set of [[? Panel]]s and four pipes followed by another left turn. After that, the edge of the lake juts outwards, forcing the racers to drive around it. Immediately ahead of this section are three clusters of [[Snow block|ice blocks]] with narrow gaps in between. Upon reaching the southwest corner of the lake, the racers can either drive around the edge or take advantage of a small fragment of ice in the water and [[Hop (move)|hop]] across it. After this is a section with gaps of water in the road as well as more pipes. The racers can either hop over the gaps or drive around them. There is a hole in the colored wall which can be used as a shortcut; players with a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] can cut through the snow without slowing down. The southeast corner of the lake is narrow enough to hop over, and right after it is the final turn, which features patches of snow next to the water and ice blocks scattered in the middle of the road.

Vanilla Lake 2 reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Holiday Tour (2021)|2021 Holiday Tour]]. The course outline has been adjusted so that it's no longer largely identical to Vanilla Lake 1. The walls within the course are thinner, and the clusters of snow blocks in the west side of the course were replaced with a new line of Item Boxes. Seven snow blocks in a zigzag line replace the original Item Boxes' location (they are now directly in front of the finish line), and the ones before the finish line were reduced to five, which are on the other side of the snow patch, allowing for a clear path to the finish. Players can now perform [[Jump Boost]]s off the bigger fragments of ice in the south side of the course, similar to the fractured ice present in [[RMX Vanilla Lake 1]]. Just before the finish line, a [[ramp]] shortcut was added. The course now has a starting banner with the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo. This course is a favorite of [[Roving Racers|Blue Koopa (Freerunning)]], [[Rosalina|Rosalina (Halloween)]], [[Mario|Mario (Santa)]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy (Holiday Cheer)]], [[Yoshi|Yoshi (Reindeer)]], [[Princess Peach|Peach (Wintertime)]], [[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki Rosalina]], [[Mario|Mario (Satellaview)]], [[Luigi#Dr. Mario series|Dr. Luigi]], [[Birdo|Birdo (White)]], and the [[Mii|Silver]], [[Mii|King Boo]], and [[Mii|Reindeer Mii Racing Suits]]. It is also a favorite of [[Penguin Mario|Penguin Toadette]] when she reaches level 3, and [[Birdo (species)|Birdo (Black)]] when she reaches level 8. As with other courses in the game, Vanilla Lake 2 has a reverse variant and a trick variant, referred to as '''Vanilla Lake 2R''' and '''Vanilla Lake 2T''' respectively.
