Alternate name: Passing the mantle
Essentially the only way(?) to explain naturally any sort of system of extra lives, where the game essentially says "no, that guy who died wasn't the protagonist, this guy is".
This does not require player has limited number of lives, only that the death/loss of the previous player character is treated like this.
Not for instances where this happens as per plot or when player can freely swap between characters.
