Please ignore the title of the YouTube video; the title I've given my sheet is correct. Nope, there's no mistake here: the game commonly referred to as Kirby's Super Star Stacker by western fans is actually officially recognized as Kirby's Star Stacker for the Super Famicom.

Here's proof, found in a very recent Kirby release:

I left out the (SFC) distinction when submitting for this new game, because now we have console labels for each game on the site.

Solid sheet, I think the LH works quite well in this simplification (not that it's not difficult lol). Not much to comment on

• RH m4 You could add the D underneath on beat 1.0 and the B on 1.5 as well (same applies for other two beats)
• RH m14 and m18 beat 1.25 I hear the G still instead of Ab

- ah, this wasn't a conscious decision, but an erroneous omission, my bad. Fixed
- good catch, I've fixed that

Files have been updated.

All good, Approved

For the composer info: I can't find anything saying that Ando arranged this, so I think it'd be better to just do "Composed by Jun Ishikawa and Hirokazu Ando" (even though I'm 90% sure this is just Ishikawa)

-I'm hearing m1-2 RH beat 2 and m3 RH beat 1 as a dotted 8th + 16th instead of triplets. The same goes for m25-27.
-m21 and m23 RH beat 4.333333 should be Ans instead of Bbs

Everything else looks great, glad to see a new Kirby game get added to the site!

- okay, I'll credit them both for the composition, then
- ooh, nice catch, that was real easy to miss
- gah, that was such a dumb mistake, must've been leftover from the 2017 draft. Fixed

Thanks, I've been working hard to make sure every Kirby game in the franchise gets represented. By the time I submit my sheet for the Kirby Slide e-Reader game, every title up through Return to Dream Land will be covered on the site.

Looks like you forgot to change m3 and m27 beat 1 to a dotted 8th + 16th, unless you disagree about those spots?

My mistake, fixed it now.

Being of course very well acquainted with the original, listening to this makes me feel like I'm having a stroke...

Nice sheet, just a few small things to mention!
- Do you want to have a softer dynamic for the opening?
- You can end the 8va in m. 3 at the note. It's not a huge deal, but particularly in this scenario, seeing it drag on all the way to the end of the system can mistakenly imply it continues to the next.
- I think the triplets in m. 6 and 10 should actually be 32nds + 16th. Similar to what the original piece does, the D is kind of just slid in there without changing the timing of the C. (It's far more apparent when slowed down, as at full speed it basically sounds the same)
- The slur marking in m. 12 would be best broken up to signify that the last three 16th notes are part of a different phrase leading into the next measure.

This Dedede theme walked so that Masked Dedede could run

- you're right, thank you for pointing that out. I'll change it to mezzo-piano
- I never know what to do with 8vas on sustained notes. Thank you for correcting that
- good ear, I'll make that fix
- ooh, yeah, to mirror m. 8 as well, good point. That hadn't occurred to me

Thanks for the feedback, Latios, the files have been updated.
