EDIT: Just noticed some overlapping notes in m. 13 - 15, I'll add some parentheses to a few of the RH notes after the first batch of feedback.

cashwarrior1:
wait i forgot how crazy this track is.

for measure 8 in the last 2 bars there's a lower harmony I think could be playable with the left hand (might have to put the last note in the left hand so the right hand can get the chromatic)

Also in measure 26 there's a lower harmony on beat 4 that could also be put in the left hand.

See, while I really do appreciate you finding the time to point this out, these notes were not omitted neglectfully. To play those dyads in sync with both hands at this tempo is one thing, but including the harmony under the latter figure is impossible, due to the LH having to jump all the way down in the for the next measure span of a 16th note (that's less than one 10th of a second). I'll wait for an updater's opinion on this before I outright dismiss it, but I don't think implementing this material is practical.

Don't worry, I'll get around to arranging "Kirby's Triumphant Return" eventually... the site needs it, after all.

Bloop:
Nice job on this sheet! I mostly have some playability and arrangement things to mention:
-m3 and 7: Jumping down from the high Db at the end of the previous measure to the power chord here is pretty hard at this speed: maybe you can leave out the bottom F in beat 1, so the hand can stay in the same range?
-m8:

It's definitely unplayable to put the extra notes in as is, but maybe this is a solution to approach different sound?

Bad formatting, but just to get the idea across ^^ You can do something similar at m26 as well, adding just a lower note + pedal to change the sound compared to the previous runs.
-m9: Maybe you can cross-staff some notes from beat 2 (or 2.25 (or 2.5)) on to the L.H., so the R.H. has time to jump up to the high Bb? Also, do you think writing all Gb's here as F#'s might look a bit more intuitive? That way you can write the Abb's as just normal Gn's (they won't need the natural), and the mordent in m16 may make a bit more sense as well.
-m10: Do you think a "con pedale" marking would help with the delay/double note effect for the R.H., also legato-fying the L.H. notes a bit? Same for m28. Make sure to put senza pedale at the correct place as well
-m19-20: This is another place where the R.H. has a very large jump to make, but what do you think of something like this as a transition:

-m23: The speed of the power chords at beat 4.5 is kinda pushing it a bit for me, especially going to m24, but maybe you could do something tremolo-like like this:

The contrary motion makes it a little bit easier for the pianist to play, since they can use the same fingers in both hands.
-m27-28: Going from the R.H. 16th run in m27 to the L.H. triplet run in m28 feels a bit uncomfortable to me, but I think the R.H. can take the high Bb on beat 4.75 to give the L.H. some time for the jump
-m35: The jump to the 16th run at beat 3, as well as the change of position for the R.H. on the repeat (especially for the thumb) both seem pretty hard. For the jump to beat 3 you can have the L.H. play the first couple of notes, for the repeat you could make the lower F at m1 optional on repeat.
