Beat HazardvsWarioWare: Smooth Moves
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.

Execution · Pure Mechanics
Motion-controlled WarioWare where you snap the remote into poses to clear five-second microgames.

Your music library randomises spawn intensity unpredictably
WarioWare: Smooth Moves
Random microgame draws keep each run unpredictable

Learning every form and microgame solution converges
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.
