DeemovsSuper Mario Odyssey
Super Mario Odyssey asks more than Deemo, and the gap is optimization.

DeemoSuper Mario Odyssey
Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 8
Super Mario Odyssey leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Deemo
Piano-style falling notes need clean two-thumb accuracy
Super Mario Odyssey
Precise platforming and capture-move tech ceiling.
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Deemo
Charts are fixed
Super Mario Odyssey
No adaptive opponents whatsoever.
Variance0 vs 1
Super Mario Odyssey leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Deemo
No randomness
Super Mario Odyssey
Almost no randomness in level design.
Optimization3 vs 5
Super Mario Odyssey leans clearly harder on optimization.
Deemo
Memorizing dense piano passages
Super Mario Odyssey
Moon routes and movement tech 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.
