Faaast PenguinvsSuper Mario Odyssey
Super Mario Odyssey asks more than Faaast Penguin, and the gap is optimization.
Faaast Penguin
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A fast-paced endless runner starring a sliding penguin.
Super Mario Odyssey
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A 3D platformer whose joy lives in tight movement and capture-driven traversal.
Faaast Penguin leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); Super Mario Odyssey leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).
Faaast PenguinSuper Mario Odyssey
Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 8
Super Mario Odyssey leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Faaast Penguin
reaction-based endless runner reflexes
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.
Faaast Penguin
no opponent, solo arcade run
Super Mario Odyssey
No adaptive opponents whatsoever.
Variance2 vs 1
Faaast Penguin leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Faaast Penguin
procedural obstacle generation
Super Mario Odyssey
Almost no randomness in level design.
Optimization3 vs 5
Super Mario Odyssey leans clearly harder on optimization.
Faaast Penguin
minor route/timing optimization over runs
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.
