Continuing is a game mechanic featured in many video games, ones of the Super Mario franchise being only some of them. When players get a Game Over, they are sometimes given the option to continue, which restarts them in a certain place (usually the beginning of the world they were in) with a whole new set of lives as opposed to just one.
In games with the option of saving, players can restart from where they last saved, which works similarly to the Continue function.
