==Course layout==

The race starts in a small patch of sand surrounded by grass. Most of the [[? Panel]]s are on the straightaway after the first turn, and to the left of this straightaway behind a wall is a [[ramp]], which can be reached with a [[Cape Feather#Super Mario Kart|Feather]]. The racers must drive through a large section of shallow water with many patches of deep water as well as Cheep Cheeps. There is a small patch of land amidst the water with a lone ? Panel on it.

Koopa Beach 2 reappears once more in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', where it makes its debut in the [[Marine Tour]]. It has been renamed to "Koopa Troopa Beach 2" so that its name is consistent with [[N64 Koopa Troopa Beach]]. Unlike the previous versions, the [[Starting Grid]] is now located on the main road and several arrow signs on buoys were added. The course now has a starting banner with the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo. The walls within the course are now thinner. The island in the water portion is bigger, and that portion has two Item Box sets (one on the island, the other on the other side). The deep water patches are now offroad; they merely slow down racers, rather than sidelining them. The first and last Cheep Cheeps were removed, and the one in front the small island was moved to the other side. The fish themselves bounce higher and merely slow down racers instead of making them spin out. Some of the beach near the starting line is removed, and the part left over is now mossy, requiring two more turns to the finish line. The course is a favorite of [[Monty Mole]], [[Yoshi (species)|Blue Yoshi]], [[Penguin Mario|Penguin Luigi]], [[Captain Toad]], [[Yoshi (species)|White Yoshi]], [[Rosalina|Rosalina (Swimwear)]], [[Mario|Mario (Aviator)]], [[Dry Bones|Dry Bones (Gold)]], [[King Bob-omb|King Bob-omb (Gold)]], [[Pink Shy Guy|Pink Shy Guy (Ninja)]], and the [[Mii|Rosalina Mii Racing Suit]]. It is also a favorite of [[Princess Daisy|Daisy (Swimwear)]] if she is at level 3, and [[Princess Peach|Peach (Wedding)]] and [[Princess Daisy|Daisy (Yukata)]] if they are at level 6. As with other courses in the game, Koopa Troopa Beach 2 has a reverse variant and a trick variant, referred to as '''Koopa Troopa Beach 2R''' and '''Koopa Troopa Beach 2T''' respectively. The reverse variant contains a newly added [[Glide Ramp]], which allows players to glide over the island with shallow water.  

If the player falls into the deep, inaccessible water during the course's [[Glider Challenge]], they will enter a brief [[Underwater driving|underwater]] state before falling out of the screen. The course's Glider Challenge also features a boat designed like one of [[Sydney]]'s famous ferries, which was used to tease the [[Tour Sydney Sprint|Sydney Sprint]] race course.

Like [[SNES Donut Plains 1]], [[N64 Frappe Snowland]] and [[N64 Choco Mountain]], it retains its original music, rather than using the ''Mario Kart DS'' arrangement.

As of the [[Ninja Tour (2023)|2023 Ninja Tour]], SNES Koopa Troopa Beach 2 has the longest gap between reappearances of all classic courses, last appearing in the [[Samurai Tour]]. It is also a first classic course to be absent for over a year.

**[[File:Flag of USA.png|20px]] "''Watch out for the deep pools of water and rough sand as you cruise through the Koopa Beach 2 track. This is a short course, so there's no time to lose!''"

**[[File:Flag of Europe.png|20px]] "''The colour of the water in Koopa Beach 2 tells you how deep it is. Stay in the lighter-coloured shallow water and avoid the dark patches, otherwise you'll be wishing they fitted your kart with a propeller. A school of jumping fish must be avoided too if you're going to stay dry.''"
