The Obstacle Course is an area accessible from one of the cubes in Shape World. It is larger than the later Obstacle Course 2.
Features
The area starts in a hall with some scribbles on the wall, as well as red and blue circles below angry and happy faces, respectively. A fake construction sign blocks the path, where you can chainsaw it until it gets destroyed. If you decide to interact with it once it shows a smiling face, it will take you to the Yellow Diamond Area. Entering the doorway after destroying the sign will take you to the obstacle course itself, where the difficulty is determined by the circle mark that you have interacted with prior. By default, the active mark is the blue mark, representing the normal difficulty, but it can be changed to hardmode by interacting with the red circle.
Additionally, depending on the performance you had in the hard mode of the first course, some of the three flower icons found at the entrance might become green. Getting all three flowers to become green unlocks the blocked door in the tunnel located in Snow White Field and also unlocks the extreme mode, which can be activated by equipping the glasses and then interacting with the pink circle in the middle. Having the best possible performance in the extreme mode will make the middle flower pink, fulfilling one of the requirements that unlock the colored lights in the computer room.
Course 1
This part consists of outlines of Urotsuki, as well as a horned creature making its way to the exit. Bumping into any of these will send you back to the entrance. To get through this course, the solution is to follow the left path, and once one of Urotsuki's outlines move, do not go forward, but move to the left of it, quickly heading to the exit.
Hard Mode solution: Quickly go to the red X on the ground then make your way to the newly-opened path ASAP, where you would still need to wait for the Urotsuki outline near the end to move in your way and then, after it blocks the creature's path, head over to the left of it. A bell will ring upon reaching the door.
Extreme Mode solution: Touch the red X once the demon is one tile below the first gap at the right, then quickly follow the demon before he can get at the top-right corner. Use the empty space in this corner to go around the demon and then go to the left. When one of the Urotsukis start moving towards you, wait in place until she goes down towards a gap, then quickly go left 3 tiles, down 2 tiles, left 2 tiles and down again 2 tiles. If this isn't done quickly enough, the exit will be blocked.
Course 2
The entrance to this course has a sign that reads "Don't STOP", which hints to the key to solving this course. By stepping on the Templar cross-shaped symbol, a horned creature will appear behind Urotsuki, where you must run from it.
Course 3
The entrance to this course has a sign that reads "STOP" this time. Here, the solution is to stay on the symbol without moving, as the horned creatures approach and pass by you.
Course 4
There are four signs in this course's entrance: "STOP", "Don't STOP", "STOP", and "Don't STOP" in this order. However, if you use the Glasses, the first sign reveals that it actually reads "Don't STOP". The solution to this puzzle is to follow the signs from right to left, keeping the correct fourth step as revealed by the Glasses in mind. By solving this puzzle, there is a locked door, and a horned creature that you can interact with, taking you back to the entrance. This unlocks a connection between the entrance and the area's end point, allowing you to skip the obstacle courses altogether.
Yellow Diamond Area
A somewhat large looping area with large yellow diamonds over a purple background, with smaller diamonds that have eyes. There are two statues with blots of different colors in this area, as well as a smaller sign northwest of the entrance, whose appearance depends on the currently-equipped effect.
