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 are unmarked, with the player simply resuming from a place in the level they had passed; while in Super Mario Bros. 2, every Warp Door serves as a checkpoint, as do the rockets from Worlds 4-2 and 7-1; Super Mario Bros. 3 has no checkpoints due to having shorter levels.

The first Super Mario game to feature an object that acted solely as a checkpoint is Super Mario World with its Midway Gate. Subsequently, other variations were used, including the Bell of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins and the Middle Ring of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Since the release of New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS, however, Super Mario games have largely standardized on the use of Checkpoint Flags.
