* Save tokens - another method of limiting saves.
Per-level cases usually have a specific number of saves you can use for each level (for example: 3). Per-level save limits force you to use it sparingly but not completely omitting their use like per-game saves might.

The most drastic effect this has in any case is the removal of save spamming where people load if they do even the slightest mistake. For those who do not insist on perfect scores, this shouldn't matter as much.

This is NOT for limited number of save slots.
