Gangster Town
Aiming and fast shooting at targets decides everything
Super Mario World
Perfect inputs trivialise every jump, spin and cape flight

Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Gangster Town
Enemies pop up on scripted cues, not adapting
Super Mario World
Scripted Koopas adapt to nothing
Variance2 vs 1
Gangster Town leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Gangster Town
Enemy appearance timing adds minor surprise
Super Mario World
Levels are fixed; nothing hidden survives one playthrough

Little to solve beyond shooting accurately
Super Mario World
Secret exits and route knowledge add a modest solvable layer
