One-hit-death parkour and slashing demand near-perfect inputs
Star Fox 64
Rail-shooter aim, barrel rolls, and boost timing are everything
Reads0 vs 0

Ghostrunner
Enemy placements are fixed
Star Fox 64
Entirely scripted bosses and waves
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.

Ghostrunner
Route planning and enemy-order solutions define fast clears
Star Fox 64
Medal scores and route branches reward total memorization
