It goes without saying that the notes should be accurate. If you are interpreting pre-existing music, it is your job to be musically expressive while honouring what the composer wrote, i.e. pitches, dynamics, etc. Tempo markings are often difficult to follow when playing transcribed works for the marimba. By playing the piece on marimba your are saying that this work for another medium sounds great on your instrument too. So play the right notes (as much as possible!) and do whatever it takes to make the piece sound great on the marimba. For both transcribed and original marimba works I often choose to play at a tempo slower than indicated because I feel it sounds better that way. In my opinion, speed is often overrated.
