Super Mario 64vsWolfenstein
Neither is harder. They score identically on all four axes, so the difference between them is in kind, not degree.
Super Mario 64
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A test of 3D movement control with a deep routing layer underneath.
Wolfenstein
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A single-player shooter where aggressive aim and movement against scripted enemies is the core loop.
Super Mario 64 leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Wolfenstein leans Execution (Practiced Mastery).
Super Mario 64Wolfenstein
Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 7
Same score on execution - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Super Mario 64
Perfect analog inputs trivialise precise jumps, dives and wall-kicks
Wolfenstein
aim and movement carry combat
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Super Mario 64
Solo platformer - no adaptive opponent anywhere
Wolfenstein
fixed enemy patterns, no adaptation
Variance1 vs 1
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Super Mario 64
Star locations and level layouts are fixed once seen
Wolfenstein
minor spawn randomness
Optimization5 vs 5
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Super Mario 64
Star routing and movement tech form a deep solvable layer
Wolfenstein
upgrade paths and routes solvable
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.
