Well
that creeped me out and made me look over my shoulder at the blinds several times.

[Jompa]

That's pretty good so I won't say much, apart from this:
Your beaming of notes in those last 8 measures is insane.
In some cases you should parenthesize some accidentals so the performer won't think they carry over the measures. If you search you'll find where this needs to be done.
The key signature is E-major. It does modulate some, but not so significantly that it should show up in the key signature.
Lastly:
Since this song bases itself on the whole-tone scale the entire way, you should change every flat into sharps! Not only does this make the notes being on the correct steps of the scale, but it also becomes more comfortable to read, easier to read, and will look better overall. This doesn't apply to the left hand in measures#10 to #25 though (because that part bases itself on chromatics), so you can keep the left hand as it is in those measures. And this doesn't apply to those chromatic 16th notes in measure#9 either, but you already have some faulty accidental-use in that measure already.
For the accidentals in measure#9, every note should be either flats or naturals on the way down, and on the way up every note should be either sharps or naturals. This does create more accidentals yeah, but in this case it makes it easier to read.

And should  I have it E Major the whole way through?

Lol....what creeped you out?

If anyone would like to do one, just say so

Hey mariolegofan! I'd like to start off that I love the work that you do and appreciate it to levels unimaginable. I always get excited when I see you've updated.

I was reading through your thread and saw that you are attempting to do the entire Paper Mario TTYD ost- a commendable task. However, I noticed the tracklist you are using is incomplete. I have a full rip of the game, which totals 140 tracks. I have assembled them into a list for you here:

I don't know if it will be useful to you at all, but I figured I'd offer it to you in light of what you hope to do. I look forward to seeing the results, and best of luck!

Thanks for the list.
There were a few songs I decided to leave out for some reasons such as being to hard to play on the piano or to hard to arrange. I left out Shwonk Fortress, Curse of the Black Box, Sinking Spikey Ceiling, and A Dragon in the Sky because they were either impossible to play on the piano, 90% Drums, or Very Very hard to arrange.

Yeah totally- it helps flesh out the soundtrack's variation, even if it does make for an impossible transcription. Anyways, looking forward to what you put out, I'll be watching for Night on the Excess Express!

Ok

[Jompa]

Thanks Not sure what I should change the beaming of notes to in the last 8 measures.
And should  I have it E Major the whole way through?

Yes, Emajor all the way.
The rhythm for those measure figures is "dotted eight + sixteenth + eight rest + eight + sixteenth rest + dotted eight + quarter".

[Sebastian]

You have the wrong key signature. It's supposed to be F-major where you now have Bb-major. You're right about where you use Eb-major though.

[Sebastian]

Shoot! I had a nagging feeling it was in F Major.

[Sebastian]

Ok Fixed that.
Is that all thats wrong?

Only thing I'm not a 100% sure about is the Key Change in measure 8.

Original:

I'm going to be doing Petal Meadows next. There is no way in heck I'll be able to do Rogueport Sewers, so if one of you advanced arrangers wants to do it knock yourself out
