I uploaded a recording of me playing it. (I doubt it's the best, but I'm sure it's still good quality)

How much musical theory have you done? The note spacing is pretty poor. You need to understand how to organize your beats to match with the original song. You need to know exactly where each bar starts and ends, and I'm pretty sure you just placed the notes in places that sound "half" decent without thinking about the structure of the music. For example,

Assuming 4/4 time signature:
C E E E E E E E | C E E E E E E E | D F F F F F F F | (8th rest) F F (8th rest) F[16th note] G (8th rest) C (8th rest) (16th rest) C[16th note]

should be your 2nd - 5th bars, with every note except a couple being eighth notes. The solid lines | indicate a bar. My notation isn't really the most clear, i don't really know how to type this stuff out, but it should make sense if you know how to read music.
If you don't know how to read music, it's nice to see you trying to learn, but i think you should learn the basics before transcribing music.

If you take out the rests in between the notes, you'll hear that it sounds messed up. Play it in noteflight first. And yes, I do know how to read music.

Listen here hot shot, how about you drop the "I know how to read music" act and listen to my advice, I wouldn't have said anything I said if you weren't objectively wrong. If you have eight eighth notes in a 4/4 time signature then the bar is already fucking full. Adding rests in between makes no sense. I played it in note flight and it sounded like shit, you can't possibly think your transcription is correct. If you can't take advice from someone who has been doing this for over 10 years then you might as well drop everything and leave.

My previous suggestion was a little bit off because I was doing it off the top of my head, but this link is 100% correct. Compare it to yours. This is how real sheet music should look like (without dynamics or accents).

Oh, ok now I see what you mean. Thanks ace

Ok, I fixed the music, thanks to ace I hope it looks cleaner.

I would say that's a lot better. It still doesn't follow proper conventions though. For example, Green Greens never changes time signature, yet you did just in order to keep the bars in tact. It's not super easy if you've never taken an actual course on it, but this is a good improvement.

Ik, Ik, I just did that so that the repeats would run through smoother.

I finished the soundtrack sheet for gourmet race.

More soundtrack transcriptions And yes, I have gotten a lot better at the rhythms. Please feel free to take a look at my newest music score. Super Mario Land Birabuto Kingdom
