The title I have changed to "Ground Theme" because it's similar to the one found in this CD and is more accurate, since the theme is played in not only the Birabuto Kingdom, but the Easton Kingdom as well. Technically, the "Easton Kingdom" sheet should be changed to "Underground Theme" as well for similar reasons, but I digress.

I have also taken a liberty with the LH dyads in the latter half of the song so it stays consistent with the former half.

Did you mean to link something or are you referring to the playlist that the linked YouTube video is in? Not that I disagree, but just to make sure we keep our titles consistent across sheets for this game.

This makes sense to me. Overall, it's a lot friendlier to play/read than the existing sheet. I'm a bit hesitant to break the 3-voice polyphony limit of the NES, but it makes sense as a piano arrangement here so I can't really complain. Only thing I'll suggest is the C forming a major second in m. 25 beat 2 RH doesn't really seem necessary - there's already a C right before it and one in the left hand as well.

Those two things notwithstanding, I'll approve!

I have updated the sheet with one less C.

Ah yeah. I should've linked something. The playlist on YouTube itself is an upload of THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY SUPER MARIO BROS. MUSIC compilation CD, which is as official as it gets. I replaced "BGM" with "Theme" though, since that's more in tune with similar sheets on the site as well. And because I usually just switch those two phrases by instinct or remove the "BGM" altogether depending on the song.

Arrangement wise this looks great! Oddly enough the Swing markings look they use MaestroTimes, but the BPM notehead looks like it's using a different font. If that's the case, you can use this Ó symbol

I'd just like to caution that compilation soundtrack titles aren't always consistent with titles from the soundtracks of individual games, if I recall correctly. Anyway this change seems fine to me and I've updated it in the system!
