Type A and Type B Save Points in Kingdom Hearts II.

Save Points (also called Save Spots) are places within worlds that Sora, Riku, and any playable character can use, with the exception of Sora's Heartless in Kingdom Hearts and King Mickey in Kingdom Hearts II. Upon standing on one, the player can save the progress they have made in their travels, fully restore their HP and MP, and in Kingdom Hearts, organize the party. Save Points are dispersed throughout the worlds, usually every three or four rooms (enemies such as Heartless and Nobodies usually do not spawn in these rooms), as a tracker. There are some exceptions, however, where rooms with Save Points may be infested with Heartless - one such example is the Rabbit Hole in Wonderland. This Save Point will not appear until all Heartless are defeated.

Appearances

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts, and Kingdom Hearts II

Save Points are divided into two types; Type A and Type B.

Type A Save Points remain throughout the game, regardless of how far the player has progressed in the storyline. In addition to the regular features of the Save Points, some Type A Save Points also serve as a link between the Gummi Ship and the world currently being visited, meaning that once activated (by touching them for the first time), one can teleport from the Save Point to the Gummi Ship and vice versa. In Kingdom Hearts II, these may become temporarily inaccessible because of the storyline, and will have to be re-activated later.

Type B Save Points are in some cases only temporary and will therefore sometimes disappear as the player progresses in the storyline. Unlike the Type A Save Points, these may or may not not serve as links to the Gummi Ship (e.g. In Kingdom Hearts, the save points in Wonderland: Queen's Castle and Rabbit Hole are both Type B, but both of them are main save points which transport the player to the Gummi Ship). They do have all the other functions of a Save Point though.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories

In Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, save points are accessed through a card known as "Moment's Reprieve". They can be used in any room except for story rooms and boss rooms. Save points are also found on the entrance to every floor of Castle Oblivion, as well as the last room after a boss fight, Conqueror's Respite.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, save points do not appear. Instead, players can press the start button to open the main menu, where they can then go to "Save Game". This can only be done outside of missions in the Grey Room, or in Twilight Town before the battle with Xion on Day 357.

Gummi Ship

In Kingdom Hearts II, the World Map can be used as a Save Point in itself when most of the story is completed. All one has to do is hit Start and select Save.

Faces

Introduced in Kingdom Hearts II and used in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep, a character's face would appear on the save file, depending on the player's progression through the story.
