Arrow Mazes
In these mazes you follow the arrows. From each arrow you can move to any of the arrows it's pointing to, in the same row, column, or diagonal.

Well, from the starting position you can move to either of the other arrows in the top row. From the rightmost of these you can move to the bottom left-hand corner. Then, in three more steps you're home:
