Mode 2 is very similar to Mode 1, except that Layer 3 is sacrificed to support Offset Change Mode instead of being a background. The horizontal resolution is 256 dots.

The palettes for BG1 and BG2 come from CGRAM addresses 0 to 7F in Mode 2.[3]

Background tiles may be 8 by 8 pixels or 16 by 16 pixels in Mode 2.[2]
