Building comparison
head to head
AladdinvsSuper Mario World
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.
Aladdin
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A classic side-scrolling platformer following Aladdin through Agrabah and beyond.
Super Mario World
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Precise jump execution across fixed levels with secrets to memorise.
Aladdin leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Super Mario World leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).
AladdinSuper Mario World
Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Aladdin
Precise platforming jumps and sword-timing are demanding.
Super Mario World
Perfect inputs trivialise every jump, spin and cape flight
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Aladdin
No adaptive opponent, fixed enemy patterns.
Super Mario World
Scripted Koopas adapt to nothing
Variance2 vs 1
Aladdin leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Aladdin
Some randomness in enemy placement and drops.
Super Mario World
Levels are fixed; nothing hidden survives one playthrough
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Aladdin
Level routes are learnable but execution dominates.
Super Mario World
Secret exits and route knowledge add a modest solvable layer
A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
