This trial track was created for the February 2019 MTC (monthly track contest), and the theme was "transitions". The track had to transition from each of five environment types to every other type once (20 total transitions). In this track, the transitions are:
road - underground
underground - platform
platform - terrain
terrain - platform
platform - underground
underground - road
road - dirt

This track went through a lot of versions in the past few weeks--it used to be harder, but I lowered the difficulty a bit on the harder CPs and it's now flagged as "Intermediate". It's not very difficult to get through (once you figure out a few tricks and ways to simplify or optimize the various CPs), but it could seem a little daunting at the beginning.
The AT is 4:09, but it could be better; I'm just out of time for now, and won't have much before the deadline. I'm guessing that a fast, clean run with no restarts would be down close to 3:30.
As always, any feedback is appreciated, and with tracks like this, first-run replays are especially cool! I love to watch people's minds work as they figure things out and have a-ha! moments.
Big thanks to xrayjay and jui for the mapobjects! The map is hugely better than it would be without them!
