New Game Plus

New Game Plus, or New Game+, is a special singleplayer game mode that is accessed upon completion of a videogame's Story Mode. This mode is distinct from a standard New Game in that the new subsequent playthrough has new content added to encourage replayability. It is also prevalent in that all of the players stats and items are kept in the second playthrough. New Game Plus is praised for offering players an optimal way to replay a game, especially if a game has multiple endings. Many implementations of New Game Plus allow multiple playthroughs using this setting, whereas others only provide one extra playthrough. Some New Game Plus modes are only activated from a Level Select screen, allowing second playthroughs from any point in the game in addition to the beginning.
