    A roguelike is full reset permadeath. Nothing carries over and there’s no sweeping upgrades between characters.

    A rogue-lite lets you keep or upgrade something between runs, even if the character itself is perma-killed.

          Wait really? I thought you had to start at 1-1!

          (I have almost never played Mario, in truth. Mostly just the first handful of levels and never with enormous interest.)

            You hold A and press Start to continue from the beginning of the last world you reached. Maybe it was in the instruction manual, but most Mario games allow you to continue more intuitively than that.

        Yus! A roguelike is the same exact experience every time.

        If anything at all is unlocked for subsequent playthroughs, it’s a roguelite!
