Mount Your FriendsSuper Mario World
Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7

Mount Your Friends
QWOP-like limb control under a timer is the entire challenge
Super Mario World
Perfect inputs trivialise every jump, spin and cape flight

Mount Your Friends
Rivals shape the tower but climbing is solo execution
Super Mario World
Scripted Koopas adapt to nothing
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Mount Your Friends
The stack you face is visible, nothing hidden
Super Mario World
Levels are fixed; nothing hidden survives one playthrough
Optimization3 vs 4
Super Mario World leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.

Grip-route planning up the pile helps marginally
Super Mario World
Secret exits and route knowledge add a modest solvable layer
