In Mario it is the same, but in real-life it would be not, as you could try to hold on to something on the wall in the left one. At least that is what our evolution shaped brain thinks.
IRL, it’s also possible for there to be stronger winds when there are fewer obstructions, especially with an open staggered configuration like this, you can get winds in directions directly opposing your movement that would be a lot weaker than the closed configuration, namely winds blowing right to left that would have been completely blocked. It took a bit, but I figured out that it was what my brain was thinking while looking at it.
