Axis by axis
Execution8 vs 10
Trackmania leans clearly harder on execution.
Tony Hawk's Underground
Combos plus off-board tricks keep the input ceiling high
Trackmania
Pure input precision over deterministic tracks defines 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.
Tony Hawk's Underground
Story missions are scripted, not adaptive
Trackmania
No opponent; ghost runs only.
Variance0 vs 0
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Tony Hawk's Underground
Fixed levels and mission scripts
Trackmania

Mission and score-line routing remain solvable
Trackmania
Line optimization and shortcut discovery matter heavily.
