Save Point/Playing With

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Basic Trope: A special area to help you save data in a video game.

  • Straight: Alice, Bob, Carol, Dave, and Edgar find a save point in the middle of a dungeon.
  • Exaggerated: There's an entire dungeon made entirely of save points.
  • 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: The Save Point is really a monster...
  • Double Subverted: ...But once the monster is defeated, it turns out it really was a Save Point conquered by Dr. Sharkus.
  • Parodied: ??
  • 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.
  • 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."
