Snowboard Kids 2 retains the core gameplay of its predecessor, while making changes to game mechanics.

The main game is separated in two modes. Story Mode unites the Battle Races and Skill Games from the previous installment; it also introduces recurring boss stages after a set number of races, and a hub town that replaces the game menu. Battle Mode features multiplayer, customizable races. Training races that teach the game's mechanics are also available.

Four new characters are introduced and one is absent from the previous game, making for a total of nine characters. Only the six starter characters can be used in Story Mode, while all nine characters can be used in Battle Mode, provided that the remaining three are unlocked. The five returning characters are heavily redesigned, and every character now has a set of four costumes to fit in with the different themes of the races.

The game features a total of fifteen courses. Like the previous game, the themes and terrain of the races are not restricted only to snow, now featuring a tropical island, a castle, a haunted house, and even space. Story Mode features the standard nine race courses, three Skill Game courses and three Boss Stages; these are modified versions of race courses with changes in the time of day, weather and/or course hazards. All of them can be played as race courses in Battle Mode. All courses now have a standard 3-lap count, which can be customized for Battle Mode.

New additions and changes were made to the Items and Shots as well. All of them were redesigned, the Shots were renamed Weapons, and both groups received additions. Changes were also made in the effects of these power ups: for instance, the slapstick has a new effect of making the affected player lose coins, the freeze time of the freezing shot was reduced, and the frying pan now has a standard effect time that is not affected by pressing buttons.
