What key/time signature is this song in?

[Tobbeh99]

I'm thinking about having it 6/8 but having certain parts beamed as 3/4. Like the part at 0:41, it seems like the RH goes in 6/8 but the LH in 3/4. What do think about that option?

I mean, if the entire song can be counted in the same time signature idk why you would want to overcomplicate things
...I still don't feel qualified to give music advice.

Here is a Mus. of what I come so far and to show what I meant.

I think that way of writing makes it easier to read the LH rather than beaming it like 6/8, but the RH seems fine with 6/8.


Edit: I'm leaning towards writing this in 3/4 entirely. The accentuation in certain places plus the beaming gives me clues to think that this one is better written in 3/4. And the in 6/8 straight beats actually seems more like syncoped notes.

Apologies if I'm incorrect but I, too, am always hearing the two sets of quick 1-2-3 counts all throughout the song, so if I was arranging it I'd use 6/8 time. If the time would be changed to 3/4 then the 4th quaver in the bar is no longer accented and the melody line makes no sense. However, I see what you mean about the accompaniment sounding like 3/4. Perhaps you could add the syncopated rhythm into the left hand while keeping it all in 6/8 time? (Haha, I just realised that this is the opposite of what you said in your edit. It's a brain teaser, isn't it? xP)

Y it's a tricky song. Here's the final result if you want to take a look, I ended up writing it in 3/4:

I think "tricky" is a bit of an understatement.  It sounds colossally difficult to play, but is so amazing! I've always loved the kind of fast-paced, dramatic JRPG-like soundtracks such as this one, really cool. It stills sounds like 6/8 time for me in some places though, but I think it's best I jump out of that debate, it's just messing up my mind now. xD

[Tobbeh99]

Y I agree that it is very difficult to play, I'm considering tweaking it at certain parts to make it more playable. This is one of the songs that I think would benefit a lot from the Easy Versions Idea.

I need the time signatures for these songs. I can probably figure out the time signatures by myself.
Copyright and arranger info is also appreciated because I can't find it ._.

Gooper Blooper is in 12/8.

I'd notate Surfshine Harbor in 6/4, but it might be good to get someone else's opinion on that first.

Blue Skies, White Clouds is just in 4/4.

Copyright seems to be Nintendo, Intelligent Systems, and Vanpool © 2012.

According to BrawlBRSTMs3, the full list of composers is:

Masanori Adachi, Yasuhia Baba, Hiroaki Hanaoka, Kiyoshi Hazemoto, Saki Kurata, Horoki Morishita, Shoh Murakami, Kosei Muraki, Tomoko Sano, Yoshito Sekigawa, Yasumasa Yamada, Koji Kondo

...Someone might want to look into that a little more.

Hehe, Paper Mario!


6/4 would be cool though.....

Gooper Blooper's intro is so fucking weird to arrange...

[E. Gadd Industries]

Just making sure that the key is C major like the sheet on site suggests, and I'd like someone with experience to verify it:

[Sebastian]

C major is correct.
