Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7
LEGO Rock Band leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
LEGO Rock Band
Perfect inputs literally full-combo every chart
Super Mario World
Perfect inputs trivialise every jump, spin and cape flight
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
LEGO Rock Band
No opponent - charts never adapt
Super Mario World
Scripted Koopas adapt to nothing
Variance0 vs 1
Super Mario World leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
LEGO Rock Band
Note charts are fixed and visible
Super Mario World
Levels are fixed; nothing hidden survives one playthrough
Optimization2 vs 4

LEGO Rock Band
Overdrive activation timing is the only strategy layer
Super Mario World
Secret exits and route knowledge add a modest solvable layer
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.
