Axis by axis

Danmaku Unlimited 3
Precise dodging through dense bullet patterns is everything
Super Mario World
Perfect inputs trivialise every jump, spin and cape flight

Danmaku Unlimited 3
Bosses fire scripted patterns, not adaptive
Super Mario World
Scripted Koopas adapt to nothing
Variance2 vs 1

Danmaku Unlimited 3
Minor item randomness, patterns deterministic
Super Mario World
Levels are fixed; nothing hidden survives one playthrough

Scoring systems and ship choice optimize underneath
Super Mario World
Secret exits and route knowledge add a modest solvable layer
