* In ''VideoGame/LostOdyssey'' the save points don't heal you automatically, but loading a saved game does, so all you have to do is save and reload. Oddly enough, many -- but not all -- save points are nevertheless paired up with a healing orb, that ends up doing nothing but sparing you a quick reload.

Oddly enough, many save points are nevertheless paired up with a [[HealingSpring healing orb]], that ends up doing nothing but sparing you a quick reload.

* ''Videogame/PokemonColosseum'' did this so subtly that it seems like [[GoodBadBugs it might have been an accident.]] [=PCs=] are used as save points, but they also provide opportunities to switch out the Pokemon in your current team, and newly-switched-in Pokemon are always at full health.

* Step onto a SavePoint in any game in the ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts'' franchise, and it'll quickly restory your HP and MP. The only real exception is [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Birth by Sleep]], in which they only fill your HP; it doesn't do squat for your Focus meter or D-ling gague, strangely.

* All check points in the ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts'' series work this way.

* The bonfires in ''DarkSouls'' fully heal the player and fully revive enemies.

* ''ShinMegamiTensei'':

* Some inter-level checkpoints in ''MedalOfHonor: Allied Assault'' do this, but most don't.

* The save points in the ''VideoGame/{{Ys}}'' series heal you on approaching them.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasy'':

* This is common in ''{{Pokemon}}'' in any area where the player character fights alongside an NPC for double battles. The NPC will heal your Pokemon after each battle. ''Black And White'' also has a heal point before you go to face Ghetsis after your Elite Four battles. There are also houses in most games where you can heal, and returning home will allow healing. Some are rather humorous, like the old lady in the house in ''PokemonDiamondAndPearl''/Platinum, who heals you once, then will keep doing it if you don't tell her no, and the bed in the Team Galactic headquarters with the sign that says 'ensure bed is unoccupied before lying down'.

* Safe Havens in ''[[AlanWakesAmericanNightmare Alan Wake's American Nightmare]]'' heal you. In [[AlanWake the original game]] you had RegeneratingHealth, but Save Havens made you regenerate more quickly.

** In ''Persona3Portable'', the main SavePoint will do this (emulating the Fox in VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}), making it far easier to grind than the original ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}.''

* Most ''{{Castlevania}}'' games of the {{Metroidvania}} type have save points that heal.

* ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime'' and ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM'' have save stations that double as replenishing stations.

* ''VideoGame/SuperCrossfire'' fully replenishes your armor at every checkpoint. Doubles as LevelUpFillUp, since every checkpoint gains you a level as well.
* In ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' and ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii'', if Mario is in his small form when reaching the checkpoint, he will automatically change into Super Mario.
* The last level in the Subspace Emissary story mode of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl'' includes save points that heal you and revive fallen party members.

* Save statues in ''VideoGame/AnUntitledStory'' completely refill player character's health aside from saving, which is nice since aside from [[AfterBossRecovery beating bosses]] or collecting {{heart|Container}}s (which are limited), there's no other way to recover health.
