In most action games, there are [[Healing Potion|items that refill]] a little bit of your [[Hit Points|health]] and [[Mana|energy]] as soon as you touch them. Sometimes, there are special inventory items that completely refill your health or energy, or possibly both. In [[RPG
This is the

* The ''[[
** They've also been incorporated into some of the video game adaptations. The ''[[Dragonball Z]] Budokai'' series, for instance, features senzu bean capsules which, when equipped, basically act as a final life for your character after he or she has been KO'd, with varying degrees of vitality recovery depending on the bean equipped. The strongest is the 100% senzu bean, which restores your vitality completely, but due to being the strongest of the beans, it takes up a lot of space in your character's custom capsule inventory.
** In the series, the villainous Cell is fully aware of how awesome these are, and proceeds to use his superior speed to just swipe them from the support character who brought them for the team's big showdown against him. {{spoiler|He then uses them himself and turns all that extra health and energy into several tiny clones that wreak havoc among the support characters as they attack}}

* Fairies in the ''Zelda'' series, which (depending on the game) refill some or all of your life. These fairies can be used in two different ways if you catch one. You can assign her to a button during game play and press it, or she can automatically revive you if you die, saving you from certain [[Game Over]]. Various potions can also recharge your health or mana.
** Since the two DS versions don't have empty bottles, the fairies are replaced by Purple Potions, which you can drink manually, or Link will drink it automatically when he dies.
** Similarly in ''[[The Legend of Zelda:

* The Portable Medkits from ''[[Duke Nukem]] 3D''.
* The Mystic Urns of ''[[Heretic]]'' basically act as this.
* The Bacta Tanks from the ''[[Star Wars: Dark Forces
* The ''[[Blood]]'' series has the Doctor's Bag, which had enough supplies to return 100 hit points until exhausted or another is picked up.

** Actually, there is ''one'' other way to get one and that is on your way out of the Plantation, one of the last areas. Which is handy since that way out is a [[Point of No Return]]. You still can't have more than one, though.
* ''Super [[Metroid]]'' had these in addition to the standard energy tanks.
** The [[Metroid Prime]] trilogy also has the same mechanic.
** ''[[Metroid: Other M]]'' features a variation: when Samus' HP are low, she can "Concentrate" to restore a small amount of HP (normally this only restores missiles). You can also collect E-Recovery Tanks which increase both the amount of HP restored and the threshold at which this option becomes available.
*** Super Metroid included a technique similar to the Concentration mechanic known as the Crystal Flash, the stricter requirements of which can be read [https://web.archive.org/web/20140123064926/http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Crystal_Flash here]. It eats up a lot of your ammunition, but fully heals you, unlike Concentration, which can only replenish a number of your Energy Tanks based on how many E-Recovery Tanks you've collected (there are only three in the game). Also, unlike the Crystal Flash, which you're safe during and happens rather quickly, you can be hurt while concentrating and it'll take a while, but the rate at which you recover health and ammunition can be improved with Accel Charge powerups.

* Potions in [[World of Warcraft]] work like this. They can be used in battle, but can't be spammed due to a long cool down that affects all potion usage and doesn't start until you leave combat. As such one must know when to use potions to avoid wasting it.
== [[Role
* In most ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' games, Elixirs restore all of your HP and MP, but are either not buyable or cost something obscene like [[Final Fantasy IV|100,000 gil]].
** Even better are the half a dozen or so Megalixirs and Megaphoenixes an average player is likely to find. These are held as sacred relics and only dug into when there's a boss you know you need the boost for.
* The ''[[Mario
* ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' games have most things with [[World Tree|Yggdrasil]] (or just 'World Tree') in their name. The leaves tend to revive one ally, while dew heals the party. They can usually not be bought. NPCs that give either one, which appear in some games, will not give you one if you already have one in your inventory.
* Potions in ''[[Pokémon]]'' work this way. They range from regular Potions, which restore 50HP, up to Max Potions, which restore all HP. PP Ups exist but they're more rare. Status healers abound as well: Awakening,Paralyz Heal,Ice Heal,Antidote and Burn Heal. But it's easier to just use a Full Heal, which cures all status conditions including confusion, or a Full Restore, whcih restores HP and cures status conditions. And then you have Carbos,Proteins,Fresh Waters,Rare Candies ect for restoring health in various ways.
