2 New Courses created and uploaded over the Thanksgiving holiday and updated to OP. The first of the two courses is dedicated to Softlocks, and therefore is aptly named "Softlock City". After seeing and experiencing Softlocks in other creators levels, both intentional and unintentional, I was mischievously inspired to create an entire course around softlocks. It is worth noting that I purposely chose not to exploit the use of Hidden (Kaizo) Blocks to create any of my softlocks. I wanted everything to be in plain sight, while still luring the player into the traps. The 2nd course is my first ever attempt at creating a speedrun. While thinking of what setting I wanted to use, I settled on one with a lava floor. This idea led me to return to the ornate Bowser's castle them I utilitzed for my "The Great Hall of Bowser" course. Reusing that theme while changing up the layout to accommodate a full speedrun, I appropriately named the course "The Great Hall of Bowser 30 sec SR".
Softlock City
Course ID: NVL-3B2-CMF
Description: A course dedicated to Softlocks. Mario arrives in Softlock City and must navigate a myriad of hazards and deadends, many of which have no escape once the wrong path has been ventured. There are a total of 8 course designed softlocks. All softlocks have a hazard available rather than a forced restart or timeout. Welcome to Softlock City. Population: You.

Great Hall of Bowser 30 sec SR
Course ID: BTD-R4N-T1H
Description: My first attempt at a speedrun course. Revisit "The Great Hall of Bowser" which was previously explored in another course. The layout is not the same, but the aesthetic of the courses inspiration is present. So, the speedrun can be considered to take place in another area of Bowser's fortress near "The Great Hall". There are 30 seconds on the timer, and the timer itself is not that tight. The course opens with 2 P-Switch jumps, followed by falling platforms, swinging claws, Koopa assisted jumps, a row of Thwomps, a parakoopa assisted jump, a spring, and finishes with a required POW Block hit, and some On/Off Switch platforms.
