Much better. Now that the arrangement itself is in order, we can narrow down on aesthetics:

*I'm going to sound like a broken-record, but hombre....measure distribution. You did a fairly decent job, but there's no reason for m. 5-16 to be squished together in 3 measure systems. You got plenty of space left over on page 3, so you don't need to feel pressured to "fit" things so tightly together.
*Measure 7 -- I see you using complicated accidentals a lot more in your sheets, but it's often not warranted. Instead of writing the trill as B# and C#, just write C and Db.
*M. 19+ -- You were correct in noticing a key change, but it's not C major, but rather C minor. This is important because it will affect how you spell the accidentals in this section (like using Eb instead of D#).
*(Not aesthetics, but still relevant) -- You should check m. 17-18 again. It's not a simple minor triad.
I did give you a hint...

(I'll give you a hint -- they feature a split third)

Some of these Paper Mario songs are a hard pain in the butt :P

Fixed.
I put 2 measures per system since no matter how I put it, it won't change the number of pages.

I think was originally an accident. B# and C# is weird XD
Fixed.

I had trouble with this.....I tried C minor at first, but it didn't look right.
Fixed.

Whoops.....didn't see that the first time.
Fixed.

I'm no expert here, but if I were an updater and saw this, I would intentionally ignore it for a few days. Give them at least a week to get here. I know you fixed Bespinben's changes in a few hours, but he and the other updaters have a massive list of submissions to go through. I wouldn't bump it again unless a week passes or you fall off page 1. That's about it.

Aye, you gotta great point!
It's just kinda frustrating not to get it followed up on.

As far as accidentals go from m. 19+, I think they're all correct except the E flats in the third beats of measures like 21. Since it's an augmented fifth chord, it should be G-Bnat-Dsharp instead of E flat. Other measures with this: 25, 29 and 33.
In 33 though, the C flat should also be B natural.

Also, the systems are too close, do this: Page Layout Tool - Page Layout - Space Systems Evenly... - Page range From 2 to 3 - Place "6" systems on each page.

With that I think it's good to go, but I'll let Bespin or Olimar take a second look just in case I missed a wrong accidental.
