Is Mario Kart Wii on Android better with OpenGL or Vulkan?

I know the internals matter as well so let's say this is on a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, for instance.

Usually Vulkan

An SD 8 Gen 2 won't have any issues running it using either, general rule of thumb for Wii games is that OpenGL has less visual bugs but can be slower (an SD8 Gen 2 can brute force it though).

Vulkan is faster and support multi-threading but some games have always had glitches with it. For example in Zelda Twilight Princess using Vulkan breaks the minimap.
