Shadow leap timing and kill animations need clean inputs
Pikmin 3 Deluxe
multitasking pikmin management under time pressure
Reads1 vs 1
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Aragami guards patrol fixed routes without player-specific adaptation
Pikmin 3 Deluxe
enemy AI scripted, not adaptive

Pikmin 3 Deluxe
hazard and enemy placement randomness minor
