Building comparison
head to head
Cookie Run: OvenBreakvsSuper Mario Maker
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is execution, and it is a single point.
Cookie Run: OvenBreak
Execution · Practiced Mastery
An endless runner testing reaction timing plus character loadout building.
Super Mario Maker
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Player-made platforming gauntlets where precision execution meets unseen level design.
Cookie Run: OvenBreak leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Super Mario Maker leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 8
Super Mario Maker leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Cookie Run: OvenBreak
Jump and slide timing decides how far you run
Super Mario Maker
Community kaizo levels push platforming precision to extremes
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Cookie Run: OvenBreak
Endless runner, no opponent to model
Super Mario Maker
Levels are static once built; nothing adapts
Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Cookie Run: OvenBreak
Some randomized obstacle and bonus spawns
Super Mario Maker
Unknown user levels are hidden information until attempted
Optimization5 vs 4
Cookie Run: OvenBreak leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.

Mastering tool tech and level conventions is learnable
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.
