Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads3 vs 3
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance1 vs 2
Micro Machines leans harder on variance: Tracks are fixed; little randomness beyond AI bumping
Optimization3 vs 4
Micro Machines leans harder on optimization: Learning each track's racing line and shortcuts pays off
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
