The track name should be changed to "Town Theme", which is the name listed in the Original Sound Version album (the first official release of the game's soundtrack).

Title changed.

- Is there a reason you have the offbeat notes in the first measure written as a second layer in the right hand instead of part of the left hand layer?
- m. 5 beat 3 should be a C.
- Watch the slurs in m. 3, 4, 7, 8 around the D and A flat/natural. Also on page 2
- You use different chord tones in m. 11+ for the arpeggios, just checking that was intentional (so as to not duplicate the bass?) Also leaving out the offbeat bass in 15, 17
- m. 29 beat 1 LH is D?
- Is that a custom ending? Regardless, I like it though I'd suggest flipping the layer 3 ties downwards at the end.

Bump for arranger.

Yeah, the middle layer is closer to the RH and I think its a bit easier to play like that.

- You use different chord tones in m. 11+ for the arpeggios, just checking that was intentional (so as to not duplicate the bass?) Also leaving out the offbeat bass in 15, 17

Yep, all intentional. Not really to not duplicate the bass, but just to fit the arpeggios in the lower-middle range where I wanted them to be.

- m. 29 beat 1 LH is D?

In this section, I used the string bass as the bassline for beats 1 and 3, so that's why it's an F.

Everything else is fixed, thanks for the feedback!

[Latios212]

Awesome, sounds good!

Yeah, the middle layer is closer to the RH and I think its a bit easier to play like that.

It's also perfectly accessible with the left hand and sounded like it was part of the lower layer to me, which is why I suggested it. Personal preference, though, so you're free to leave it as it, just wanted to mention it

Last thing I have to suggest is to raise the eighth rests in 23/25/27 so as to not touch the notes. You could also put double barlines at the end of 18 if you want.

[Static]

Fixed.

[Latios212]

Great!

This is very nice!  Just a few things from me:
-Are you expecting the performer to just know when to use pedal and not?
-The Eb in bar 18 should be a D#.  (It's a G aug chord not a Eb aug chord.)

Other than that this looks good to go.  Also thanks for showing me that we can do custom endings, I didn't know that.

Yes, you can! I don't do it very often, but I was thinking of an ending as I was arranging this particular sheet, so I wanted to include it.

Thanks for the feedback!

EDIT: I moved the middle layer of m1 to the LH after messing around with it some more; I think it works better there. I also filled out some more chords in the m11 section.

[Libera]

Ok, looks great on my end.
