Point is a term used in Mario games. It is gotten by defeating enemies or Bosses, and in Doki Doki Panic, picking up Vegetables and collecting hearts. The first game to have Mario and Points in it was Donkey Kong. The most recent game to have Points in it was Super Paper Mario. The total of all received Points is usually called Score. In Super Paper Mario, Points were used to level up your character instead of Star Points. A typical characteristic of points in the Marioverse is that they are increased when many enemies are defeated in succession. When a certain score is reached, the following defeated enemies will bring Extra Lives.
While in many games points serve some purpose (in Super Mario Land, for example, they let the player continue after a Game Over if he has enough of them), they are rather useless in other games, such as Super Mario World.
