Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 7
Spy Hunter leans a little harder on execution, though the gap is small.
Spy Hunter
High-speed weaving, ramming, and weapon timing demand sharp hands.
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.
Spy Hunter
Enemy vehicles attack on fixed behaviours.
Super Mario World
Scripted Koopas adapt to nothing
Variance3 vs 1
Spy Hunter leans clearly harder on variance.
Spy Hunter
Traffic and enemy mix vary each run.
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.
Spy Hunter
Weapon-van timing and road knowledge are learnable.
Super Mario World
Secret exits and route knowledge add a modest solvable layer
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.
