Choco Island 2 is the secondrace course of theStar Cup inSuper Mario Kart. It was subsequently reused inMario Kart: Super Circuit as the fourth and last track of theExtra Lightning Cup, inMario Kart DS as the first track of theLightning Cup, and inMario Kart Tour starting with theTokyo Tour. Set onChocolate Island, the course features a large "lake" of mud.

InMario Kart World, Choco Island 2 reappears south-west ofChoco Mountain, as part of theroute to that course fromMario Bros. Circuit in theGolden Rally.

Super Mario Kart[edit]

Course layout[edit]

The course is very similar toChoco Island 1, but is more difficult. On the track and along the sides of the track are passivePiranha Plants, which will make racers spin out when hit. The off-road on the sides of the course also slows down racers a lot more than other types of off-road. The course begins with a right turn followed by a left turn and a U-turn to the right; in the middle of the U-turn is the only set of? Panels. The track then narrows and racers take a slight left turn followed by a right turn. Here the track widens greatly and racers encounter numerous narrow bumps in the road followed by a huge puddle of slippery mud. There is then a right turn and a slight left turn, with many more narrow bumps along both. Racers then take one last right turn and reach the finish line shortly after.

At the center of the track is a rectangular area surrounded by four walls. A jump pad, which can be used to escape from the area when entered, is placed by one end of the walls.

Mario Kart: Super Circuit[edit]

Choco Island 2 reappeared inMario Kart: Super Circuit, and is the fourth and last track of theExtra Lightning Cup. It uses the background fromSunset Wilds, but the sun never sets. The Piranha Plant hazards were removed from the track and an extra item box can be found along the left side of the track shortly after the large mud lake. Since theFeather item is not in the game, the closed-off rectangle area in the center is no longer accessible; the ramp within that area has also been removed.

Mario Kart DS[edit]

The introduction forSNES Choco Island 2 inMario Kart DS

SNES Choco Island 2 reappears inMario Kart DS as the first course of theLightning Cup. Despite its short length, it is considered to be one of the more difficult courses to recover from a mistake on because of its length and having only three laps. In this version of the course,Item Boxes replace some of the coins from the original. The walls within the course are thinner. Many bumps were removed, yet they still remain a challenge to drive through. It was one of the courses that could not be played overNintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

Missions[edit]

There is onemission that takes place on Choco Island 2:

• Mission 6-3: The player controlsYoshi, who must collect 30coins scattered along the track within 45 seconds.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

The view ofSNES Choco Island 2 inMario Kart Tour

SNES Choco Island 2 reappears inMario Kart Tour, starting with theTokyo Tour. It retains itsMario Kart DS layout. Aglide ramp was added on the right side of the large chocolate lake. The course now has a starting banner with the classicMario Kart logo.

While most classic courses inMario Kart Tour use their original music, Choco Island 2 reuses the arrangement fromMario Kart DS, which is also reused forChoco Island 1,RMX Choco Island 1, andRMX Choco Island 2. This and Choco Island 1 are the only SNES courses to use theirMario Kart DS arrangement, as the others all either use one fromMario Kart Wii orMario Kart 7, or their original one if they were not featured in one of those two.

The course also appears asChoco Island 2R (reversed),Choco Island 2T (with ramps), andChoco Island 2R/T (reversed with ramps). The R and T variants were also introduced in the Tokyo Tour, while the R/T variant was later added in theIce Tour. In the T and R/T variants, there are several bigPiranha Plants in pipes. The course icon for the R/T variant erroneously features a ramp that does not appear on the final turns before the finish line. The large, red ramp is also absent.

Mario Kart World[edit]

Choco Island 2's "tribute" appearance inMario Kart World.

Choco Island 2 reappears inMario Kart World, alongsideChoco Island 1, as part of theroute fromMario Bros. Circuit toChoco Mountain (located to the south-west of the latter course) in both VS Race and theGolden Rally, as well as Whistlestop Summit and Shy Guy Bazaar. Its layout is presented as a split path, with the entrances/exits located at the top-right, bottom-right, and bottom-left of the original layout. The course's width has been mostly evened-out, barring the large mud patch. Most of the outer colored blocks and all of the bumps are gone; the remaining colored blocks are set within mud. As withDonut Plains 2 inMario Kart Tour, a thin path was made through the large mud patch, and all mud patches are now dirt. The course is raced on for themission "Race around a tribute to Choco Island 2!".^[5]

Like with Choco Island 1, the mission uses its original music fromSuper Mario Kart.

Profiles[edit]

Mario Kart DS[edit]

• Websites
  • Choco Island 2 takes you off the asphalt and into the mud. Little ramps scattered along the course are more likely to slow you down than to launch you over trouble, so keep your eyes peeled!
  • Make sure to fit your mudgards for this one, as this track is surrounded by icky sticky brown goop that will slow your kart to a crawl in a split second. Also avoid the bumps that bounce you around. If you hit them, try not to oversteer and they'll prove less of a problem.
