6* The very first thing shown is awesome: The Universal logo and theme in 8 bit!
7* Scott and Knives defeating Gideon through co-op mode, replicating the attacks from the Ninja game earlier in the movie.
8* Fueled (quite literally) by SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic, Sex Bob-Omb's electric yeti monster faces off against the Katayanagi Twins' Double Dragons.
9* Creator/EdgarWright fans know there is a specific point in ''Film/HotFuzz'' when an already funny movie suddenly became ''awesome''. ''Scott Pilgrim vs. The World'' has a very similar "specific point", and that point is when Matthew Patel bursts through the ceiling, declares the beginning of the fight, and leaps at a confused Scott...who reacts by putting on a determined expression, throwing his guitar to Young Neil, blocking Patel, and punching him away, all with {{Written Sound Effect}}s and a ''[[FunWithSubtitles REVERSAL]]'' popup on the screen. It was at that point when all the VideoGameTropes that make this movie so unique started coming into play.
10* "We are Sex Bob-omb, and we are here to watch Scott Pilgrim ''kick your teeth in''! '''ONE!''' '''TWO!''' '''THREE!''' '''FOUR!'''"
11* Scott's [[ThePowerOfRock "Bass Battle"]] with Todd Ingram is [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic made of awesome riffs]].
12* Every scene with an evil ex fight tends to have at least one piece of SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic in them. For example:
13** '''Matthew Patel:''' Scott reversing his attack in midair, the 64 hit combo and the epic uppercut.
14** '''Lucas Lee:''' Scott taking on an army of stunt doubles, and Lee grinding down a suicidal rail.
15** '''Todd Ingram:''' The aforementioned Bass Battle.
16** '''Roxy Richter:''' Ramona fighting Roxy by [[WouldntHitAGirl moving Scott's arms for him.]]
17** '''Katayanagi Twins:''' There isn't a moment here that isn't amazing, with virtual twin dragons combined by the twins being taken down by Sex Bob-omb's own yeti. It's even better because this is the only time Stephen and Kim join in to help Scott fight.
18** '''Gideon Graves:''' Scott kicking security's collective ass with The Power of Love, Scott and Knives using ''Ninja Ninja Revolution'' moves to beat the crap out of Gideon, Ramona's "[[GroinAttack Let's both be girls.]]" line.
19* Scott vs. Gideon ''with swords!''
20* Ramona vs. Roxy, before Scott joins in. Particularly awesome is because this is the only time Ramona truly asserts herself, protecting her boyfriend, fighting offensively, and openly defying the Evil Exes rather than being a NeutralFemale.
21-->[[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech I'd rather be dead than go back! He's a creep, you're a bitch, and you all deserve each other!]]
22** Unlike Ramona Vs. Envy in the comics, Roxy's forced to deflect that she's supposed to be fighting Scott as Ramona's kicking her ass even after getting disarmed.
23** Even while having to puppeteer Scott, Ramona ''still'' manages to deflect most of Roxy's attacks.
24* "You are blowing up... ''[[PreMortemOneLiner right now!]]''"
25* Everything the Vegan Police do is both this and [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hilarious.]]
26-->It's milk and eggs, [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitch.]]
27%%* "Mr. Lee! [[BondOneLiner You're needed back on set." Made so much better by how ''terrible'' Scott usually is with one-liners and insults.
28* Scott gaining the Power Of Self-Respect:
29-->'''Gideon:''' You wanna fight me for her?\
30'''Scott:''' No... I wanna fight you for ''me!'' [cue sword]
31* "Once you were a vegone. [[PreMortemOneLiner Now you will be gone!]]" "[[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Vegone?]]"
32* "Not only do I want to take part... I want to take them apart!" We're getting tingles too, Stephen.
33* The Clash At Demonhead's number, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jMruFHTwrY 'Black Sheep']] (actually a cover of a song by Toronto band Metric). The song is awesome and Envy just ''radiates'' sexy!
34* Scott outsmarting Todd and making him drink half-and-half. Even better, Todd ''knew'' that Scott had put half-and-half into one of the cups, but ''chose the wrong one'' thinking that he was choosing the cup with soy.
35-->'''Todd:''' Dude. I can see in your mind's eye that you put half-and-half into one of those coffees in an attempt to make me break vegan edge. I'll take the one with soy. (Pulls the one Scott isn't offering to him with his telekinesis) Thanks, tool. (Drinks)\
36'''Scott:''' ''Actually'', muchacho, I poured the soy in ''this'' cup, but I thought ''real hard'' about pouring it in that cup. Y'know, in my "mind's eye", or whatever.\
37'''Todd:''' ...What are you talking about?\
38'''Scott:''' You just drank half-and-half, baby.\
39(''cue Vegan Police'')
40* "Young Neil, you have learned well. From this point forward, you will be known as... Neil."
41* The director was writing the movie as a Scott/Knives film, complete with Scott and Knives defeating Gideon, only to have to do an ending where Scott left Knives for Ramona when they realised Ramona was the romantic lead. The awesome moment comes from the fact they '''''released''''' a complete alternate cut of this final scene, with Ramona leaving ''alone'', since Scott reconciled with Knives as a result of what happened.
