Let Them Come
Twitch aiming and reload timing dominate survival
Super Mario World
Perfect inputs trivialise every jump, spin and cape flight

Enemy waves are scripted, not adaptive
Super Mario World
Scripted Koopas adapt to nothing

Wave composition and spawns vary somewhat
Super Mario World

Weapon upgrades and resource choices extend runs
Super Mario World
Secret exits and route knowledge add a modest solvable layer
