Cool! I listened to those differences; I just love analyses of music like this. The second one, because of the extra syncopation, makes me feel like dancing is going on, but it's like one needs to be held up or they'll slip around. But it has a more personal touch, like you can move the way you want.
The first, however, does seem more straightforward, almost a balance, like its purpose is to keep someone jumping on all the platforms of Super Mario. The rhythm has enough syncopation to free movement, but the lack of it almost makes for a secret pattern to follow. My thoughts are way off, but it really gives me that feeling!
