Why this riff works
Slapping the 8th string with distortion and and the coil spilt creates a very naughty buzzsaw sound that can lure you into creating whole riffs out of open-note bopping (not unlike metal chugs generally). I added in some simple hammer-on motifs from an early part of the song to make the groove a little more interesting and varied.
Also, in retrospect, I think the plucked harmonics at the end of first and third bar sound too much like Mario.
