Ape Out
Split-second grabs and throws under fire
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.
Ape Out
Guards react predictably
Super Mario World
Scripted Koopas adapt to nothing

Super Mario World
Levels are fixed; nothing hidden survives one playthrough

Few systems beyond momentum and angles
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.
