Unknown. This is a really big change that they have to implement, since they have to ensure site consistency. They don't want the sheets looking crazy different, so formatting is one thing. With new programs also comes bugs and stuff. I know they've been working on it for months, so I too hope it's sometime soon. For now, we've just gotta be patient.

Hey! Worth noting (as far as requests go) that while this song is featured in the SSBB medley, it isn't the entire medley. (Probably only I care about this in relation to requests, lol).

Seems fairly accurate. My thought on the parentheses is that when I see parentheses I think "courtesy accidentals" or, on occasion, "note in both staves". Idk site norms, but my personal preference would probably be to do a small notehead instead, as in my mind that implies more of "optional notes" than the parentheses do.

I also wanted to ask about m17-20. I noticed you opted to leave the harmony out there and just go for the octaves in both hands. I'm assuming that was for simplicity's/playability's sake? And if so, I'm curious to your reasoning behind the octaves instead of the harmony.

Probably I have no other feedback though. Good sheet.

It has indeed been a while, hasn't it? Thanks for being patient. While I don't have too much feedback, I will mention the couple things I see.

Princess Appears:
m3 b2 - This sounds like it should be the same arpeggio as m2 b4
m4 - I disagree with the rests at the end here. The game does appear to go right into the next song. My suggestion to help with that (and maybe someone will disagree) is to change the measures to 2/4, putting 2 arpeggios per measure. I think if you do that, you'll be able to remove the fermata on the rest in m3 and not have the extra rests in m4. It would also make it easier to change the LH clef before the final arpeggio (which I think would make it much easier to read.
m4 (again) - This song doesn't appear to repeat, so you should remove the repeat barline. I think it would be good to do the || barline at the end since it goes straight into the next song, but perhaps a double barline would be preferred.

Princess Love Scene:
m4 b8 - I hear a restrike of the D here in the LH

Other notes:
 - There seems to be a rather large margin at the top of the page.
 - Someone else will need to pitch in on this, but it might be important to have the composer name for the second song on the sheet as well? Either way, do you know if it's the same composer?

Not to be changed in the file but as a personal note, I like Levi's suggestion of combining them into one song with one title. Various Dragon Buster versions have varying methods of the songs on KHInsider - some in one file and some in two - but either way they play one right after the other. Technically, as you have it is more accurate to the current version though, so unless you truly prefer it that way as well, probably it should be left as is.

I think you're right about m32.
For the harmony measures, they seem a bit cluttered still but I don't know a better way to do it. I'll have to defer to others with more experience.
For the bass... It seems better, but still not right. Again, though, I don't know a better way to do it. I will also defer that to others who are more familiar with chord progressions and arranging in general.

I'm excited to see where this goes! I may play this song once it gets completed.

While I have no idea what the words are, I loved the musicality of it! It was also funny having the mental image of the song potentially being about a hot-dog/sausage as that is what's shown at the start of the song. Thanks for sharing!

This is a beautiful little piano solo!

m27 b4.5 RH - I hear a C instead of a D
m28 b1 RH - I don't hear the D in this chord

Also, this one is more of a personal preference, but I feel like it would look nicer if in m10, m13/14, m15/16, m17/18, m19/20, and their counterparts in m21-40 had the notes tied over into the rests. Maybe not all of them would be nice that way, but a lot of the time it seems like they are held but very faint by the time the rests come up, and many lead in "gramatically"? "tonally"? phrase-wise into the following notes.

I also see nothing wrong with the notes. I see what goldenscruff is saying about the con pedale. I think either way works without too much detriment (for example, if I were to play this I'd probably hold the pedal for two bars anyways since I've gotta be hitting those RH overlap notes.) Looks like a great sheet though!

It's wild to me that this song is so long and so repetitive and yet doesn't seem to actually have any places where 1st and second endings would work. (Not expecting you to find any; I've looked and see nothing, hence my surprise)

YT link is broken, so I'll just put this here (cuz it's what I'm using): https://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/master-detective-archives-rain-code-original-soundtrack-2023
m102 b1.5 LH - I hear a D, not an E
 - idk if this is just a different source thing or soundtrack vs in-game or what, but in the khinsider soundtrack, after the repeat it branches off after m32 to a different measure (not 33).
 - Also, in m19, 23, (basically everything +- 4 though some places it's quieter), on b3 I seem to hear a restrike of the middle note from the chord on b2. Did you leave those out for playability/unclashingness?

It's an interesting, spacey song like the inside of pipes in Super Mario Galaxy

I don't know if this really needs to be notated, but I think the first drum notes in odd measures are one step higher than the ones in even measures (G vs F). I also think the last three notes in odd measures are the same as the middle notes (D vs C#).
m8-12 might benefit from some inclusion of the DKC Aquatic Ambience sounding instrument in the RH to help fill it in (it extends to m15, but I think 13-15 might be fine without). That might affect playability though, so if you disagree just say so.
m14 b3 - I think the C in the LH might be a C#
It's really hard to tell with the echoes, but I think in m15b4.5 there is a D in the right hand.
Also, I think in m17, 19, 20, 23, 26 b4.5 ties into b1 of the next measure (in some cases without the currently written D there at all).
I also notice in m17 & 21 that you have notes tied into nothing. Is that just supposed to emphasize that the note should be held for the full measure?

Interesting time signature, for sure.

m5-12, 15-22 LH - I hear a restrike of the D on b2
I know you mentioned rests and maybe not being able to move them, but I will mention that the ones in m12 are especially bad, so upon reconversion that would be a good thing to take care of.

Other than that, it looks real good!

I believe in the RH of m1-16, all the notes are tonic chords. I also think they would sound better an octave up, as that top note is what my mind immediately focused on.
In m21/23 b1, I think there are two notes played at the same time, similar to m17/19

As with my suggestions on Phosphor, I think it would be good to move the percussion along with the other hand as well just to avoid clashing. Sure, the actual notes of the percussion in the song don't change, but percussion clashes less as percussion than it does as piano, so I think that would be nice.

As with the other one, this is a great sheet! I look forward to seeing it finished with revisions and getting on the main site!

m2 LH - I hear b3/4 as a B back down to a D#
m9-10 LH - I think the A# is on b1/3, not 2/4

I also think the MIDI would sound better without the invisible pedal markings that you have throughout the sheet. I don't think the notes are held long enough to really make that worth it.

I like the piece though!

This sheet looks good! Only thought is that in m12 b3.5 there might be a restrike (same rhythm as m16).
Seems passable to me (though that really doesn't mean much)

Well this is a pretty song...
m18 b1 - I think there might be an A here, just like in m22

Other than that, this seems passable!

m18, 20 RH b4 - The tied note should be another 16th followed by a dotted eighth at the end
m21-28 LH - I hear an additional track of harmony above what you have here. m21-22 for example is D-En-Eb-D. I also don't hear the harmony you have in here, but maybe that was to make it sound less empty? Or maybe I'm deaf, lol
m30 LH - I also hear the lower notes here, same as the RH.
m30 b4.25 - F#, I think? Only for the LH though, as far as I can tell
m31-33 RH b2 isn't a tied note from b1.75
m34 b4(?) - I think it would be good to have a rest here where the break is in the bassline
m37 LH - Should be Eb, not D
m37-38 RH - I think there's some missing harmony here
m38 LH - Should be A, not Bb
m41-43 - Is there a reason you put the harmony in the RH instead of with the LH?

There are a few spots where you have harmony that I don't hear, but for the most part I'm assuming that's just because you thought it was emptier on piano than it feels in the original? Either way, it's a great song!
