Secret exits and route knowledge add a modest solvable layer
WarioWare: Smooth Moves
Learning every form and microgame solution converges
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.
