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

Execution · Pure Mechanics
The podracing game whose risk-reward boost system creates a brutal pure-speed skill ceiling.
Super Stardust Ultra
Execution · Pure Mechanics
Tests twin-stick reflexes and threat triage under relentless arcade pressure.

Axis by axis
Execution9 vs 9
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Star Wars Episode I: Racer
Boost management at 600mph through canyons is pure hands.
Super Stardust Ultra
Twin-stick dodging through dense asteroid fields is everything
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Star Wars Episode I: Racer
AI racers follow fixed behaviour.
Super Stardust Ultra
Waves are spawned patterns, not adaptive opponents
Variance1 vs 2
Super Stardust Ultra leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Star Wars Episode I: Racer
Fixed tracks; nothing meaningful hidden.
Super Stardust Ultra
Spawn timing varies slightly but is quickly familiar
Optimization4 vs 4
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Star Wars Episode I: Racer
Pod part upgrades and track memorization converge quickly.
Super Stardust Ultra
Weapon choice and multiplier management refine scores
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.
