Sudoku 6: Trampoline Sudoku

With just 3 days left for Indian Sudoku Championship, preparations must already be in full swing. This time ISC features a new variant called Trampoline Sudoku.

There aren't any Trampoline Sudoku for practice. So, I've created one for ISC practice.
Rules: Place a digit from 1-9 in each empty cell so that each digit appears exactly once in each row, column and 3x3 outlined box. Additionally, numbers on a trampoline (all the cells the shape is part of - light shaded colored cells) will jump vertically to
the height of the corresponding number and then at this new height, each number must reach (be orthogonally or diagonally adjacent to) two copies
of itself, one to the left and one to the right.

Theme: O-E

Sudoku 4: Spiral Sudoku

India is hosting the ongoing 7th round of World Sudoku GP 2018 and Spiral Sudoku is a part of this round. So, I thought to create a Spiral Sudoku. Practise this and then do participate in the GP too.
Rules: Place a digit from 1-9 in each empty cell so that each digit appears exactly once in each row, column and 3x3 outlined box. Additionally, exactly 3 of the 3x3 boxes have the property that their eight perimeter cells are in strictly increasing order with starting cell and direction unspecified. The 3 spiral boxes, and the starting cell and direction in these boxes need to be identified as a part of solving.
