New course uploaded over the weekend and updated to OP.  This is one of the courses that I mentioned I had been working on for a while now.  I was able to put some time into it this weekend to finish it up and polish it before uploading.  While working on another course, I began creating an elaborate "title card" screen for it involving pixel art.  This led me to think about creating a complete course based around pixel art, rather than just one screen of it.  As usual, rather than just follow the pattern of other pixel art courses I have seen, I was determined to put my own spin on it.  The idea I came up with was to create an interactive NES Guidebook.  For each game, I used one screen to create a large "screenshot" of the NES game and then posted my own comments into the screen detailing info and tips about the game.  On the next screen, I recreated a smaller version of the previous screenshot that the player would actually play that screen of the game.  Next to this play area, I added the initials of the game accompanied by my own pixel art versions of characters/enemies/or items from that game.  Due to the limitations on available doors, I was limited to a total of 7 games (could have been 8, but I used a set of doors for the large sized Elevator Action screenshot).  I'm thinking of recreating a version of this course in the original Super Mario Maker on Wii U using Amiibo costumes before the server closes on 3/31 (2 days from now!).  One of the inspirations for this course, and for the course title was "The Official Nintendo Player's Guide" that came with the NES that I got for Christmas in 1988.
