Snowboard Kids 2 retains the core gameplay of its predecessor while introducing modifications to the game mechanics.

The game also introduces recurring boss stages that appear after a set number of races and includes a hub town that replaces the main menu.

The game offers a total of 15 courses, each featuring unique themes such as snow, a tropical island, a castle, a haunted house, and space.

The game includes powerups, known as weapons, that players can use against competing racers.

Players can perform multiple tricks while airborne, which can be used to block weapon attacks, along with executing a board grab.
