I'm gonna have to do a double-check on the name at some point. Also, any advice on incorporating the flute in m. 5-8? I wasn't entirely sure how to incorporate it in, so I left it out.
You have 5 measures in system 3, and 3 measures in system 5. Since the musical density of both these sections is the same, it would be better to have 4 measures fit within each of these systems.

Sorry, since I don't have headphones on me I can't help you with your flute dilemma atm.
But the positions of a lot of the eighth rests in the first two lines seem funky. Maybe make those proper where there's a specific place, and where there isn't, make them as consistent as possible. Right now it's kinda like a mosh pit. So whenever you have an eighth rest on a half beat where there's no notation for a second voice, center it where it should normally go. In measures 3 and 4, they seem a lot lower than they need to be.
Measures 5 and 7, LH, seem to be missing staccatos on the second notes in the 16-note figures.
The last eighth note in the RH of measures 1 and 5 are kinda confusing without close and careful examination. Maybe find a better way to notate that.
This piece is in D major, so the key signature and accidentals should be changed to reflect that appropriately.

Fixed. Op updated.
The only other thing I would recommend is double checking the tempo--82 isn't a standard metronome marking, so I'd check to see if either 80 or 84 bpm would be more appropriate. I almost guarantee it's not at 82. Otherwise looks good. Anyone else have opinions?

I'm using a bpm finder to see what tempo this is, and I swear that I keep getting exactly 82bpm. I'd change the tempo if it was slightly faster or slower, but 82 seems to be it. Here's the bpm finder I'm using (http://www.all8.com/tools/bpm.htm), and here's a link to the song if someone wants to double-check for me (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXtFrauMTP8).

It is.
It's quite common for video game music not to have standard metronome markings for their tempo; many even have a non-integral BPM.
Ninja'd
I always set it to the exact value (rounded to the nearest integer). It's accurate that way, and if you're using a traditional metronome you can simply choose the nearest setting. Besides, you could be using a digital metronome. Also it makes the mus and midi play back at the right speed.

Cool. Anything else then?
Okay cool. I haven't had the time to actually double check any of my musical suggestions, I was just saying that looking at the sheet 82 seemed a bit odd. Good to know it's all accurate.
Anything else?
- You're missing the indent
- in m1/4, beat 4 should be and A and F#
- There's an E on the and of beat 4 m6 in the RH
- There are straight Es from m13-19 with the same rhythm as the RH, but I only added them in m17-19 (tbh it doesn't really add much though)
- I tried incorporating the flute part in m5-8, but it might be better to leave it out

I did not realize this was a requirement. Thanks for fixing that for me.

Yeah. I appreciate the effort you put in to try to make it work, but I don't think it can sound natural in this arrangement. I've taken it out for now. :(
Otherwise, I've updated the OP with the rest of your changes. Thank you so much for that!
Fixed some stems that were flipped the wrong way. Otherwise,

Bump?
The C# in the RH at measure 10 is unnotated for whatever reason. It's invisible despite being C natural in playback.

This sheet is almost there!
I did a few edits for you since you have Notepad.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/epm42an5x67u66s/AAA8NWAafM1PE2WvUFNiUnC4a?dl=1
What I changed:
- I fixed some wrong notes in M. 1, 2, 5, & 6, as well as some formatting.
- I right-aligned the composer/arranger.
- I put a quieter dynamic marking in M. 9. It's noticeably quieter from M. 9-12.
- It's also 2 octaves higher through those measures.
- Missing some notes from M. 13-16.
- Few wrong notes in the last 4 measures.
Also, fun fact: This is the same composer who wrote the Paper Mario music :P
If you don't agree with something above or if you have any questions, just ask!

Nope, everything looks A-OK. Thanks! OP updated.
Latios and I went over this on Skype. Just added a few notes to measures 11 and 12. Everything else was a tad bit of formatting.
If you're good with the following result, update the OP and we'll be good to go.

I was just thinking I should bump this thread today, lol.
Yeah, everything looks good. Links updated.
EDIT: The .musx file is not the correct one, and I don't know how to delete it from the NSM Panel.
Got it
