DEEP SEA ACT 2
Kind of like with act 1, this grew on me the more I listened. That being said, the lead melody's instrument is hard to hear most of the time, and if I'd not heard the original song before, I'd probably have a difficult time feeling the melody out in a casual listen. Beyond that, though, I REALLY like what you did with the last section of the song! The changes in the percussion line coupled with the piano solo work super well.
CASTLE EGGMAN ACT 1
This one is pretty good! The instrumentation fits the song well, probably better than the original's. The only thing I'd consider is that the kettledrums at the beginning feel a bit loud, though rest of the song grows over time to match the kettledrums' volume. Maybe tone them down towards the start?
CASTLE EGGMAN ACT 2
I like what you did with the more synth-y direction in the instruments, here. Nothing else to really comment about.
BOSS
This is a fine arrangement, but I feel like the original song had more punch in its instrumentation. The wicky-wicky guitar sounds are a nice touch, but I feel iffy on the opening melodies. I can't really describe it as anything but cheesy background music from 90's TV because of the sparkliness of the instruments and how they decay so slowly.
