head to head
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is variance, and it is a single point.

Execution · Practiced Mastery
A frantic co-op cooking game where execution speed, partner reads, and optimal kitchen routing determine your score.
Execution · Practiced Mastery
The original kart racer where drift technique fights item luck on Mode 7 tracks.
Overcooked 2 leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Super Mario Kart leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Overcooked 2
High-speed chopping, plating, and movement under pressure is the ceiling
Super Mario Kart
Hop-drifting Mode 7 corners is genuinely technical
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Overcooked 2
Anticipating co-op partner actions requires real-time social reads
Super Mario Kart
Two-player battles reward predicting the rival
Super Mario Kart leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Overcooked 2
Level hazards and order queues introduce random variation
Super Mario Kart
Item rolls swing close races
Overcooked 2 leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Overcooked 2
Optimal kitchen routing and task assignment is learnable per level
Super Mario Kart
Racing lines and shortcut mastery
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.
