These colorful posts mark your place in a stage. Should you lose a life, you'll return to the last Point Marker you crossed rather than the bumfuck beginning of the Act. Some offer bonuses for crossing with enough Rings - depending on the game and the number of Rings in your possession, you might earn a freebie power-up or access the Special Stage or a bonus round. (Point Markers are also occasionally known as Start Markers.)
