Croc: Legend of the GobbosvsSuper Mario Run
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.
Croc: Legend of the Gobbos
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Late-90s 3D platformer about a crocodile rescuing furry Gobbos.
Super Mario Run
Execution · Practiced Mastery
One-thumb tap-timing precision over fixed courses with solvable coin routes.
Croc: Legend of the Gobbos leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Super Mario Run leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).
Croc: Legend of the GobbosSuper Mario Run
Axis by axis
Execution6 vs 6
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Croc: Legend of the Gobbos
tank-control platforming demands precise jumps
Super Mario Run
One-handed tap timing for coin lines demands precision
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Croc: Legend of the Gobbos
no adaptive opponent
Super Mario Run
Auto-runner with no adaptive opponent; Toad Rally is asynchronous
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Croc: Legend of the Gobbos
levels are fixed and visible
Super Mario Run
Courses are fixed and fully learnable
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Croc: Legend of the Gobbos
collectible routes are simple to learn
Super Mario Run
Routing perfect coin runs is a solvable layout puzzle
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.
