head to head
Bread & FredvsSuper Mario World
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Bread & Fred
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A brutal co-op precision platformer where two penguins tied together climb a mountain, sharing every fall.
Super Mario World
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Precise jump execution across fixed levels with secrets to memorise.
Bread & Fred leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Super Mario World leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7
Bread & Fred leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Bread & Fred
Rope-linked precision jumps punish any mistimed input
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.
Bread & Fred
Only the mountain opposes you
Super Mario World
Scripted Koopas adapt to nothing
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Bread & Fred
The climb is fixed and learnable
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.
Bread & Fred
Route knowledge and swing setups reduce falls
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.
