Quantum ConundrumSuper Paper Mario
Axis by axis
Execution4 vs 4
Even - both lean on execution about the same.
Reads0 vs 0
Even - both lean on reads about the same.
Variance0 vs 1
Super Paper Mario leans harder on variance: Dimension-flip secrets are scripted-but-unknown until found
Optimization7 vs 6
Quantum Conundrum leans harder on optimization: Dimension-switch sequences are the solvable core
Two games can score the same on an axis and still test it in very different ways - read each rationale, not just the number.
