Racers start the course in a street next to the {{wp|Vancouver Convention Centre}}; however, they are facing the opposite direction compared to the first route. After a right reverse curve through {{wp|Jack Poole Plaza}}, the player takes a sharp right, with {{wp|Science World (Vancouver)|Science World}} visible on the left. The player then enters the {{wp|Rogers Arena}} and drives across the ice rink before being launched out of a [[Cannon (Mario Kart series)|circus cannon]] across to {{wp|Stanley Park}} near the {{wp|Lost Lagoon}}. The player then takes another sharp right to travel along a shoreline to the right, then moves across a pedestrian bridge that arches right, with the {{wp|Lions Gate Bridge}} in the background. After two consecutive drops to a boardwalk with the sailboats from [[GCN Yoshi Circuit]], the player travels underneath the {{wp|2010 Winter Olympics cauldron|Vancouver Olympics cauldron}} via another right reverse curve to the finish line. The release of this layout marks the longest period of time between the release of two different routes, debuting almost two years after the first. | Racers start the course in a street next to the {{wp|Vancouver Convention Centre}}; however, they are facing the opposite direction compared to the first route.
