Some parts I intentionally adjusted the octaves of since I thought it sounded better or was easier to play

This is looking very good! Just a few tiny things I noticed:

-The bass + drums part starting in m5 is on the difficult side of things, but should be doable: if you want though, you could leave out the E on beat 4.25 so it's a little bit easier to play that ending part.
-m21: You could add grace notes A# and B before the R.H. C here too

I'll just leave it, so that way the performer can decide whether or not to leave it out.

-m21: You could add grace notes A# and B before the R.H. C here too

I removed these (and the last few notes in m20) so that it would be easier to jump from m20 to 21, but if you think it wouldn't be too demanding I can add them. I left it for now though.

Thanks for checking!

I think it's fine, you already left some space for the player to jump up in m20, getting the grace notes isn't that much harder compared to just getting to the C ^^

Sounds good then, I've added those notes in

[Bloop]

Nice, then I'll approve!

My only comment is from listening to m18, it sounds tonally more like E minor. So I'm hearing En instead of Eb, and Fn instead of Fn. I think then do Gn and An instead of Ab and Cn? May want to play around with this but tonally it sounds off currently.

Yep, I hear that too. Basically I just shifted m18 down by 1 semitone.

Edit: And before I forget, do we want to update all the TTYD track titles to match the Sound Test in the Switch version? So in this case it would be "Battle - Macho Grubba". The current titles aren't sourced from any official material as far as I know, and most tracks from the GC version have official titles now with a few exceptions like "All Aboard to Rogueport" which isn't in the remake.

Hmm I'm actually hearing m18 RH descending, so I would swap the G and Bn in placement for beats 1.25-1.5, 2.25-2.5, 3.25-3.5

You know, given the Sound Test now means people will be exposed to different titles, and may come to know those titles more than the "Unofficial" ones, I would support making updates to all existing TTYD sheets.

So this sheet could be updated to to the one you've brought up.

I hear that part the same as m17, 19, and 20. There is a descending voice in all of those measures, but I hear the ascending arpeggiated part more prominently and would prefer to keep it as written.

Also, I changed the title

Okay, I'm fine with keeping that arpeggiation

Title change looks good on the files, Macho Grubba is now accepted
