Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the MistvsSuper Metroid
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A metroidvania testing boss-pattern execution and ability-loadout planning.
Super Metroid
Execution · Practiced Mastery
Movement execution and route optimisation through a fixed, mappable planet.
Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Super Metroid leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).
Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the MistSuper Metroid
Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist
Boss dodge timing and aerial control gate progress
Super Metroid
Wall-jumps, shinesparks and boss dodges demand precise inputs
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist
Bosses cycle scripted attack patterns
Super Metroid
Bosses cycle fixed patterns, never adapting
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist
The map is fixed, just unexplored at first
Super Metroid
Item and route knowledge is fixed once discovered
Optimization6 vs 7
Super Metroid leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist
Ability loadouts, upgrades and route knowledge shape the run
Super Metroid
Sequence-breaking route optimisation is the enduring meta-game
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.
