Egg-aiming and flutter jumps for 100 percent scores

All enemies are scripted

Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus
Fixed level layouts, minimal hidden information
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Collectibles hidden only until found
Optimization6 vs 6

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.
