Mario is a totally different genre... Mario is about platforming, you're actually fighting the stage itself and not the enemies, the enemies are there to add extra obsticles to get in your way, an action game should be more about intelligent fighting, while platforming should be more about intelligent level design, so no you can't compare button mashing in an action game to jumping in a platformer, cause button mashing in a action game means the devs didn't care to put enough thought into the fighting so you wouldn't be able to button mash to win (on any difficulty). Platforming is all about getting to the end of the stage or exploring to achieve an objective, and how the stage is built to keep you from doing so is how you judge that game, any way you can't button mash in Mario when you have to time jumps and attacks. |
button mashing will get you to the end of any game on easy mode, and sometimes normal mode, because they are designed to be easy, imagine that. If you want to beat God of War on a tougher difficulty you can't button mash, period. You HAVE to work combos between light attacks, power attacks, magic, evasion and blocking. And like Yakuzaice said, there is a lot of puzzle solving and platforming in God of War.
