Here is my arrangement of "Sunset Wilds" from Mario Kart: Super Circuit (GBA). I'd appreciate any feedback on this piece and suggestions for adding or omitting anything from it. Thank you!

A few notation tips:
Use ritardandos instead of changing the tempo and an a tempo to bring it back. That's how it should be notated, and it'll look a lot more professional.
Make the final 2 systems 4/4 and notate the final measure with a quarter->dotted half note with a ritardando overtop of it.

Ah, mkay. Thanks for the tips! I'll try to apply those to it!

After this one's all good, I'll fix the Mario Paint one with its little kinks.

Finally got a more recent game on my list. I may do more of Super Bomberman R, I love its soundtrack.

I think your data is good information that I'm looking for.

I was a bit surprised not to see these themes on the site. When I'm able, I'll certainly try to send these in.

The arrangements are good as a whole, but a couple of rhythmic things that may not matter depending on how the updaters prefer reading them.

Such as in Marble Zone,  in measure 8, I would suggest reworking the rhythm after the dotted eighth to having an eighth note followed by another eighth note tied by a dotted quarter note.

While it is a lot to look at, it's much easier to distinguish where the beat lands rather than just notation functioning as durations of a note

Starlight zone has many areas where this could be applied to as well such as

Once again, it looks like a lot of ink, but it's much easier to to see where the beat lands in my eyes

Play around with it. If you don't feel that's where your visual style lead to, make something in between.

Also, I would suggest listening to the orignal Marble Zone again; some of your notes are wrong, and I noticed one reason this is is because you have absolutely no accidentals written on your sheet. Listen to the original, but slowly.

I listened in and I think I got most of what you were talkin' about on "Marble Zone" changed. As for the accidentals, I could only dish out a couple of them from listening. You can check the new PDF, and if it's still off by a bit, I'd like feedback on that.

I'd like to give credit to E. Gadd Industries for the helping out on and fixing up "Night Duel" with me.

"Smooch of Divine Protection - As Much As Possible" has been updated a bit. It now sounds a little more accurate to the organ.

[NineLives]

This arrangement took a while, but I did try hard to get most of the notes accurate. I may need a second opinion on that though.

[NineLives]

It's been a little while since I updated this. The past arrangements have been removed from the post so I can revise them.

I have a few suggestions (I'm only trying to help you):

- my computer blocked the PDF download to "Versus", saying that it detected a virus. While this may not be true, have you considered switching to Dropbox?
- you should really include all past arrangements in your original post, so that we can go back and check ones made before your latest sheet
- listening to the MIDI, I can tell you have a lot of wrong notes (from memory of my own arrangement of this). If you can try to tackle the above, we can get that taken care of

Again, I'm only trying to help you. But please, these suggestions will make things so much easier for us.
