Of course, it's necessary, otherwise I wouldn't have mastered the levels as I did if they let me continue where I was on my last checkpoint after a game over. The best exemple of this in the game is IMO Titanic Monarch.

As for Mario, I would say that it's not.

I don't really have an opinon on whether or not the game should have a game over system. But I'll say that for me, I replayed stages because I wanted to get better and faster and find more secrets and explore. I don't think the game's game over system really incentivises getting better, since it's not that hard to begin with. I think losing your rings is closer to the actual incentive than a game over system.
