The map of Berlin Byways 2 from Mario Kart Tour

Berlin Byways 2 is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is inspired by Berlin, the capital city of Germany, and is the second layout of the overall Berlin Byways course. It made its debut in the city's namesake tour, the Berlin Tour. This layout is driven in the opposite direction compared to the previous layout, and lets racers go through the streets side of the city with various cars on the way, which notably involves going inside a train station and even into one of the trains for an extra Item Box.

The course is a favorite of King Bob-omb, Peach (Halloween), Luigi (Lederhosen), Penguin Toad, Peach (Happi), Mario (Samurai), Dr. Luigi, Shy Guy (Pastry Chef), King Bob-omb (Gold), Pink Shy Guy (Ninja), and the Wario Mii Racing Suit.

The course also appears as Berlin Byways 2R (reverse), Berlin Byways 2T (with ramps), and Berlin Byways 2R/T (reverse and with ramps).

Despite being labeled as "Berlin Byways 2", the course was released before Berlin Byways, making it the first playable layout of the overall Berlin Byways course.

relation to its other layouts

In the standard layout, the racers start the course in a street next to the 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 Straße des 17. Juni, which is littered with cars (which act as ramps) that lead through the Tiergarten (formally referred to as "Großer Tiergarten" in Germany) to Großer Stern where the 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 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 Berlin S-Bahn trainset (this train is not directly based on a specific model, but it most closely resembles the DR Class 270 with some inspiration from the 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 coins. Here, the 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.

On the R/T variant of this course, the first red glider ramp redirects players onto the green train track leading out of the Bahnhof, before continuing on like normal. Thwomps also appear at the Brandenburg Gate.

When configured for Coin Rush, cars and fences will block off a lane in the highway and redirect Gold Mario through the train car, making the collection of coins easier.
