Save Cycling

In video games: A process of overriding automatic saves by manually saving your game at points that may prove to be challenging or likely to lead to a death or a game over screen.

Save cycling can also be used to manipulate RNG in order to leave the player with a more favorable item pickup or enemy encounter, and is often done multiple times in a row.

Most importantly, this is not an intended use of the game-save feature and normally requires an exploit such as unlinking auto-save data (often a cloud save), so it cannot be automatically overwritten and requires manual intervention.

I just couldn't beat the third boss after going through the whole level again, so I save cycled just before the encounter and did it on my third try!

Save cycling was my only option to get the ultra rare spank emote; it took 100 tries, but I got the Platinum trophy!
