Restart from Checkpoint

[Catpuppy]

Does restarting from checkpoint count as using a continue? Or does your mission rank not get penalized for it?

[ttvLowtierGoose]

It doesnt i believe

[ImRecessParrilla!]

yes, you get penalized

[Jocusto]

If you are going for the mission 19 and 20 achievemnt, i got it even though i died and "gave up" a few times. So you can use your checkpoints for those

I used a continue on a mission that was only the boss fight and got no continues bonus. Maybe because there's only one checkpoint and it's at the start of the mission?

You lose the no continues bonus if you use a checkpoint.

That is correct, since the checkpoint is at the start of the stage it doesn't count as using a continue.

You get penalized but not as much as from using a continue

[Berakestor]

No Contines = 1.2x
One or more Continues = 1x
Used golden thingy to revive = 0.9x
Dont know if using money also penalizes you to 0.9x

if you restart from checkpoint before you die, i assume it doesn't effect it at all.... only one way to find out is to try it

It counts as "No Continues" for a x1.2 bonus multiplier, if you restart die from a Checkpoint.
There are no penalties to your end score if you die and resume from a checkpoint.

No limits on how many times you can resume from checkpoint, since it cost nothing.
You'll restart with the same HP, DT gauges etc. when your checkpoint was saved.

For boss fights, checkpoint save is always before the entrance where the phone booth or equivalent upgrade spot is.
