Fruit NinjavsWarioWare: Smooth Moves
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.
Fruit Ninja
Execution · Pure Mechanics
A swipe-em-up arcade game where slicing accuracy against random fruit spawns is the whole skill.
WarioWare: Smooth Moves
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Motion-controlled WarioWare where you snap the remote into poses to clear five-second microgames.
Fruit Ninja leans Execution (Pure Mechanics); WarioWare: Smooth Moves leans Execution (Pure Mechanics).

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.
Fruit Ninja
Swipe accuracy and combo timing
WarioWare: Smooth Moves
Instant motion-pose changes and gesture accuracy under pressure
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Fruit Ninja
No opponent
WarioWare: Smooth Moves
No adaptive opposition, just scripted prompts
Variance3 vs 3
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Fruit Ninja
Random fruit and bomb spawns
WarioWare: Smooth Moves
Random microgame draws keep each run unpredictable
Optimization2 vs 3
WarioWare: Smooth Moves leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Fruit Ninja
Combo and crit systems are shallow but real

Learning every form and microgame solution converges
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.
