Super Mario WorldTrackMania United
Axis by axis
Execution7 vs 9
TrackMania United leans clearly harder on execution.
Super Mario World
Perfect inputs trivialise every jump, spin and cape flight
TrackMania United
Hundredth-second steering precision over stunts decides every leaderboard
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 World
Scripted Koopas adapt to nothing
TrackMania United
Ghost-style multiplayer never interacts with your car
Variance1 vs 0
Super Mario World leans a little harder on variance, though the gap is small.
Super Mario World
Levels are fixed; nothing hidden survives one playthrough
TrackMania United
Tracks are perfectly deterministic

Super Mario World
Secret exits and route knowledge add a modest solvable layer
TrackMania United
Finding the ideal line is a study discipline of its own
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.
