Magic JewelrySuper Mario World
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.
Magic Jewelry
Fast column placement under accelerating drop speed
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.
Magic Jewelry
Solo puzzle, nothing to predict
Super Mario World
Scripted Koopas adapt to nothing
Variance3 vs 1
Magic Jewelry leans clearly harder on variance.
Magic Jewelry
Random jewel columns are bounded and mappable
Super Mario World
Levels are fixed; nothing hidden survives one playthrough
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Magic Jewelry
Stacking for chain matches has known patterns
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.
