Do games run the battery down slower when they're sitting idle?

I play Mario Odyssey on my 3 hour bus ride with wifi left on and it always lasts the whole ride. I usually play with the brightness set to about half, sometimes a little less.

@Ralizah like if its left in sleep mode? I'm sure it would be slower.

I usually have my brightness close to all the way down when I play.

@DTMOF84 No. I mean, does Mario Odyssey, for example, drain the battery faster when you're actively doing stuff in it versus just leaving it on but not touching the controls?

Because if there is a difference, then estimates need to take into account whether the person is playing the entire time, which could be difficult in the case of the smaller games that we know last 5+ hours.

@I know what you’re saying then. That I’m not too sure of. But I could see that being a factor. I think the more that is going on in game requires varieing amount of processing. So probably more power drain.

@Ralizah Why wouldn't it? It would be unlogical if the Switch would use the same amount of resources (and therefore electrictity, thus battery) when idle. There is a reason why you might notice some lag in Zelda in some areas, because they ask more resources than the Switch can handle

I had the same results with this game.
