Checkpoints are objects within a level which mark the point where the player can continue from after losing a life.

In Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels and Super Mario Land, checkpoints were unmarked, with the player simply resuming from a place in the level they had passed; while in Super Mario Bros. 2, every Warp Door served as a checkpoint, as did the rockets from Worlds 4-2 and 7-1, and Super Mario Bros. 3 went without any form of checkpoint in its short levels.

The first Super Mario game to introduce a specific checkpoint, i.e., an object which did not serve any other purpose, was the Midway Gate of Super Mario World
