It's criminal that this hasn't been arranged already, I thought the internet is always drooling over Mega Man 2.

Now, in regards to the sheet, is it really necessary to use slurs here? At the time I arranged this, I used them as a hint for hand positions/fingering, but now... I'm not sure. Thoughts? I can easily remove them in favor of a con pedale marking.

I'm not sure I mind particularly about them generally, but some of them do make the phrases look a bit confusing when they start on a note that then immediately restrikes (it's easy to mistake them for ties at a glance).  I'm talking about bars 16, 19 and 28.  Another thing is that the delay is probably best brought across with pedal, so it might be a good idea to make it's use explicitly asked for.  Just my opinion though.

Other things:
-Ebs in bar 19 should be D#s (B major chord).
-I think the molto rit should start a bar earlier (bar 27 rather than 28).
-The systems on the second page could possibly be brought up a little higher.  You're much closer to the bottom margin than you are to the top margin, so it might look a little more even this way.

Nice sheet, nice piece.

Nah, don't think you need slurs at all here. There's no special articulation you need to highlight, ambiguity of where the melody is, etc.

You could do that, but honestly the sheet looks unnecessarily spaced out right now with sparse measures and tons of extra white space on the page. This could easily fit on one page:

Honestly, I like that idea. As long as I get to decrease the page size.

I'll take care of these fixes once my next submission's up.

Files were updated with the single page variant! And I made changes to the molto ritardando along with the E flats.
