Alrighty then, all the files should now have the updated title and headings.

I think officially the song is called "Special Ending 4" since both vgmpf and the Mario Wiki list the song as that in the Tetris Attack OST. That's about the best I could uncover in order to dig up a proper source on the subject.
As for the name Forest Lullaby, I think that is what the song is called in Panel De Pon, however, I cannot say for sure. I found nothing super official that proves this but otherwise its like the online colloquial reference to the song.

Okay, I stand corrected-- I've uploaded what will hopefully be the final version of this piece.

Some feedback about the sheet (mostly note stuff in the L.H.):
-m2 (and any other time this similar measure appears): I hear A-C#-E on beat 1 (instead of E-A-E).

I don't hear what you suggested having listened to this song so many times and played along with it. I played a C# drone over the original song and it did not resonate until beat 2.5 of m2 and all the other similar measures with that A5 chord. I also played a C natural drone over the same part and there was no clash until beat 2.5 and it actually made the chord sound minor so I think it is A5/E (E-A-E). But every other point was dead on so I made those adjustments as well.

To fix this, youre going to have to open and save your .musicxml in notepad first, then opening it in full finale and saving over that .mus.

I tried this and I think it worked but I am not completely sure since I really don't know what the difference between the two music fonts is-- one of you'll that is more familiar with finale could probably tell me. But as XiaoMigros said he was gonna do an overhaul of the layout anyway so if it isn't it will get sorted out eventually. Also, I'll upload the .musx file as well just in case.

I also just used the free month trial of finale to make this arrangement since I wasn't planning on making more for this site (I just really like this song). But I think I will do more since my focus has shifted more to VGM stuff. That free trial is about to expire in a few days so it would probably be good for me to learn notepad. 

The deed is done. Thanks for all the help!

I think I fixed most of the issues musically but I decided to keep the quarter rest at the end since that is when the melody voice releases in the OST. Formatting on the other hand was not nearly as simple. I actually did originally make it 5 systems on each page but converting it from Musescore into Finale must have messed that up and I just didn't notice. I did have to remake the score from the ground up in order to fix some of the font/typeface issues -- again probably as a result of converting a sheet from Musescore to Finale. I also added a dynamic marking since the Formatting Guidelines said that was now a requirement. Fortunately, the song retains the same dynamic throughout.

I appreciate the patience, although I am familiar with NSM, I am (obviously) not so familiar with the submission process. Furthermore, Finale turned out to be way more difficult to deal with than I anticipated (like why does ctrl + b not bolden text? Why is their user manual so unhelpful?). But in the end, lessons have been learned.
