Axis by axis
Execution9 vs 7
Robotron 64 leans clearly harder on execution.
Robotron 64
Twin-stick aiming and dodging swarms is the entire test
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.
Robotron 64
Enemies follow scripted swarm AI, not adaptation
Super Mario World
Scripted Koopas adapt to nothing
Variance4 vs 1
Robotron 64 leans clearly harder on variance.
Robotron 64
Spawn waves add managed chaos each level
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.
Robotron 64
Prioritizing targets and survival positioning supports survival
Super Mario World
Secret exits and route knowledge add a modest solvable layer
