Multidimensional Whack-a-Mole
It's a cross between two puzzles!
Here are the patterns to notice:
When the scale factor changes by a factor of
When a mole is whacked, all neighboring holes toggle whether they have a mole or not.

We may notice that the names of the puzzles are weird. Perhaps we should index the numbers into the names. But the flavor text
says something about “cross”. So we cross-index into the puzzle name on the opposite side (e.g. index 1 into DOWN ARROW and 2 into A SNAKE).
This gives START
on the left column and DIGIT
on the right column. So the answer is START DIGIT
