Line 100:
* Played with in ''[[ZHP]]'': Your character starts every dungeon at level 1, but the level you're at when you finish the dungeon (or die; it doesn't matter) is added to your total level, giving you a boost to your stats the next time you go in.
* Used as a game mechanic in ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''. First of all, levels are tied to your job; switching to one you haven't used yet sends you back to level 1 (but you get to keep your [[Point Build System|Skill Points]] and anything you bought with Skill Points). Then there's "revocation", resetting a level 99 job back to 1; the advantages to this are the chance to get even more Skill Points and it lets you get higher-valued maps for the [[Dungeon Crawling]] system.
* Subverted in On the ''Rainslick Precipice of Darkness'', you start at the last game's max level with the same stats. You move up from their, though your weapons are basic once again. Justified in that {{spoiler|Yours was destroyed in the intro of number 2, Tycho's 'potential bullets' ripped his gun apart and Gabe's were soaked in hobo piss.}}
* Done rather amusingly in ''[[Robopon]] Ring and Cross'', the sequel to ''Robopon Sun'', (as well as ''[[No Export for You|Star and Moon]]''). You play as the same character, going to another county to enter a tournament, yet you don't have any of the [[Mons]] you had from the first game. On the way to the aforementioned country, the main character suddenly realizes that he left them at home.
* Adol is back to level one, usually without the fancy equipment from the previous game, in each of the ''[[Ys]]'' games. Given how frequently he starts a game by being seriously injured and needing to spend several days in bed (Usually due to falling off a ship or the ship sinking outright), this is actually justified on occasion.
* In ''[[Chōsoku Henkei Gyrozetter: Wings of the Albatros]]'' the protagonist's father joins him before the first fight and his mother joins before the second. They were both very high level drivers in their day, but their licenses haven't been kept up to date and have regressed to the starting F class, their Gyrozetters are so obsolete as to be comparable to starter fodder, and they're just plain old out of practice, so they start exactly as powerful as their kids in all respects.
