the groove and quirkiness of the track does fit the earthbound theme and ost well, i'm a big fan of the funky phrasing and melodic lines. the use of space is also well done, but i also wondered how it would feel w some kind of drums or percussive element to fill out that depth? i know musescore is funky about percussion but a little here and there might've also helped balance the use of space! you're in the right ballpark w your ideas and how you're playing w them for sure, keep it up!!
