Basic Trope: A special area to help you save data in a video game.
- Straight: Alice finds a save point in the middle of a dungeon.
- Exaggerated: There's an entire dungeon made entirely of save points.
- Downplayed: The save point is an unmarked area that activates automatically.
- Justified: Alice states to Bob that Savatora, the Goddess of the World, created the Save Points. See Justified Save Point.
- Inverted: You can find a point in the game that deletes your save data.
- Subverted: A Treacherous Checkpoint. The Save point transforms into a monster...
- Double Subverted: ...But once the monster is defeated it becomes friendly and offers to save the game.
- Parodied: The hero is in a dark, spooky dungeon full of ominous sounds and scary creatures, yet the extremly cute checkpoint is still there.
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted:
- The player can save any time he wants — even in the middle of a battle.
- Conversely, there are none and you can't.
- Enforced: "Hey, this is a throwback to the RPGs of the 1990s for the Super Nintendo, so I want a good amount of Save Points in the game."
- Lampshaded: "Are we going to fight one of Darksaur's hench-monsters soon?"
- Invoked: "Are there any Save Points in that mine?"
- Exploited:
- The party use Save Points in the final dungeon without the Player's OK.
- The characters notice that a Boss Battle will occur soon due to a suspiciously-placed save point.
- Defied: There are no Save Points in the entire game.
- Discussed: "Do you know about Save Points?" "Sure, I use them a lot — Save Points are used to save your game — and can often be found in a monster-filled area before the boss monster of that area."
- Conversed: "Too bad we don't have Save Points in real life." "You're preaching to the choir, dude."
- Deconstructed: Each time Alice returns to a previous save, a new timeline is created, while the old one is doomed to be overrun.
- Reconstructed: Alice exploits the save points so many times that she exists across every possible timeline, and saves all of them.
Go back to Save Point and save your game.
