(Sorry I ditched school today and have a lot time...) Things I did:
-Added a hand cross in the intro so you can have those base notes. It's easy to play and adds a lot imo.
-Added the bass voice right below the RH. It's not really necessary but I'm always for adding more voices in any way I can.
-Added the arpeggiated Ab Major chord in measure 19.
-Fixed some slurs overlapping with staccatos.

Something you should consider:
-Having slurs across each measure in the LH is kinda redundant (the measure already denotes that it's gonna be a phrase) and causes a lot of clutter. You could get similar effect by just putting a legato somewhere.

That's actually an MP3/Youtube glitch. I used that YT video because it's one of the only ones I could find that is correctly pitched. Compare it with this one that has the correct title and intro, but it's incorrectly pitched.

Oh nice. I like how you brought it up to the right hand. In general when I have a sweet and pretty piece like this, I try to keep it simplistic, but in this case.....I like how you added it. Thanks.

You may also be interested to know that I'm gonna be arranging this piece sometime soon. It's similar to this submission: Sweet and pretty.

There are also quite a few voices, but I'll deal with that when I come to it.

Also good. Thanks.

I'm just gonna go ahead and show you this:

I would refer to legato as a "shortcut word."

Thanks for the feedback!

Huh, go figure.

Seeing any DK64 music makes me happy tbh. There's just too much nostalgia.

Yeah. There's certainty no rules against it even if it's an unpopular opinion. Doing it your own way makes the arrangement your own, right? ;3

Don't we run on unpopular opinions here on NSM?

I currently don't have access to Finale, so it may be a little while before I get the links updated.

The links have been updated. Thanks for the feedback!
