* ShoutOut: Every band name is a video game reference of some sort; the flashback at the
start of Volume 2 is an elaborate homage to River City Ransom.
** At least one person has said "Barf" when getting beaten up.
** Scott was also wearing ''{{MOTHER 2}}'' and ''AstroBoy'' t-shirts at some points.
** Scott himself was named for (and the series inspired by) a Plumtree song of the same name. Then there's also [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Springfield Stephen Stills and Young Neil.]]
*** The Plumtree song even appears in the soundtrack of the film.
** The name of the third book, ''Scott Pilgrim and the Infinite Sadness", is a reference to the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mellon_Collie_and_the_Infinite_Sadness similarly-named album]] by TheSmashingPumpkins.
*** Chapter 16 is titled "Frail and Bedazzled" after a ''SmashingPumpkins'' song. Scott can also be seen wearing a Zero shirt at one point.
** Book 4's title is a reference the song Get It Together by The Go! Team.
** Chapter 27 is entitled "Can't Face Up", after a Sloan song. In addition, [[spoiler: one of Gideon's ex's is named Sloane]].
** Book 4 contains a shot-for-shot parody of the iconic battle from the introduction to ''NinjaGaiden''.
** Book 3 has a flashback sequence called TheyWereEleven
** "I grazed you!" [[MonkeyIsland How appropriate]], YouFightLikeACow."
** In Book 3, Scott has the internal dialogue, [[ParappaTheRapper "Yeah! I know! I gotta believe!!"]] before leaping to Ramona's aid against Envy.
** Several of the books' first page title logo's are shout out's to videogame title screens. The logo to Book 2 was done in the style of Bonk's Adventure, Book 4 had a full-color take on the title screen of SonicTheHedgehog 2, and Book 5's spoofed the title screen to DoubleDragon.
** Knives' dad has hair like [[DragonBallZ Vegeta]], and Tamara looks like [[AzumangaDaioh Osaka]] in volume 5.
** One to {{Akira}} with [[spoiler: Todd's defacing of the moon]].
*** There are actually several Akira references relating Todd to Tetsuo. In the Honest Ed's sequence he shouts "It's my brain!!! What have you done!?!" Ramona also recalls Todd's "origin" in which he was taken to a lab for testing, and is shown returning with bandages wrapped around his head.
** [[http://www.ugo.com/the-goods/every-video-game-reference-in-the-scott-pilgrim-comics This article]] claims to list every video game reference in the series, which is at least ''58''.
** Scott's avatar in his video-game dream world looks remarkably like Link
** In a bonus page of volume 4 Comeau shouts "It's time to kick out the Jams, motherf** ckers!" in reference to "Kick Out the Jams" by MC5.
** Did we mention how much Ramona looks like Tank Girl sometimes? Especially when she's shown in roller skates and goggles ''weilding a baseball bat''?
** The back of the books features a parody of the "STOP! You're reading the wrong way" page that publishers such as {{Tokyopop}} and [[VizMedia Viz]] often put at the back end of American manga translations.
** A bus in volume 1 displays the [[FakeBand Trapnest]] logo from {{Nana}}.
** Acccording to O'Malley, Wallace's super-sad eyes in the "dipping sauce bitch" panel is a shout-out to {{Clone High}}.
** In volume four when Roxanne and Scott first meet, Roxanne teleports the way of ''Naruto'' which is having her fingers locked in a certain way like the series' Ninjitsu abilities.
** [[spoiler: Roxy's defeat involves her splitting apart much like cyborg [[DragonBallZ Freeza]], and then a much of small animals pop out like a Prison Egg capsule from the {{Sonic the Hedgehog}} games.]]
** In Volume 6, [[spoiler: Ramona and Scott use the X Slash move from ChronoTrigger against Gideon.]]
** When Envy walks into Sarah's party in volume 6, there is a painting on the wall depicting a certain [[OnePiece pirate ship]].
** Near the beginning of Volume 6, Scott can be seen playing a game similar to MonsterHunter on a {{PSP}}.
** Once again in volume 6, the shirts that are being given away in Chaos Theater Toronto are suspiciously similar to an inverted Triforce from TheLegendOfZelda, and the pyramid-shaped stage might be a reference to the one used by DaftPunk, and although it's hard to see, one of the background characters is wearing a TeamFortress2 shirt when [[spoiler:Scott gets stabbed by Gideon]]. Also, Chapter 34 is titled ALinkToThePast.
** And yet again, in Volume 6, Scott is shown sporting a shirt with a Slime from Dragon Quest for a good portion of the book.
** [[spoiler: Was I the only one that thought Envy might [[ParasiteEve light everyone on fire]] during her show at the Chaos Theater in Volume 6?]]
** [[NoMoreHeroes Travis Touchdown]] can be seen in the audience when Envy resumes her show in volume 6, [[spoiler: after Scott and Ramona defeat Gideon]].
** For a change of pace, in volume 6, there's a short shout out to the internet [[spoiler:in the "Memory Cam" of Ramona and Gideon, with Ramona saying "Babby" in place of "baby."]]
** The climactic chapter of Volume 6 is [[spoiler:named after the song Music Sounds Better With You, a dance song from a Daft Punk side project. It's very fitting, given the contents of said chapter.]]
** [[spoiler: Gideon's Girlfriend plot is basically a cross between ALinkToThePast and RevolutionaryGirlUtena]]
** A particularly obscure one: a magazine article in Volume 6 called "[[http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=1345 Bam! Kapow! Comics aren't just for kids anymore!]]".
*** And on the same magazine cover: "[[RogerEbert Are video games art? Source says no.]]"
** [[spoiler:The Power of Understanding take the form of what appears to be [[{{Bleach}} Zangetsu]].]]
*** [[spoiler:Either that or [[FinalFantasy Cloud's sword]].]]
** From the Movie: Todd Ingram says "That's [[CompleteWorldKnowledge bullroar]]" when the Vegan Police call him on his gelato and chicken-related crimes.
** The film is jam-packed with sounds from various video games, most recognizably a number of music clips from TheLegendOfZelda.

[[Folder:[[{{ptitle1i6llk4q}} Scott Pilgrim vs. The World the Movie]]]]

* ShoutOut: ''Tons''.
** The ItemGet theme from TheLegendOfZelda is used at least twice, and some Zelda music is used in the soundtrack.
** Many other video game sound effects are used too, notably the ring sound from SonicTheHedgehog.
*** The bonus stage warp sound from Sonic is used when [[spoiler:Ramona brandishes the huge hammer.]]
** [[RiverCityRansom "Crash 'N The Boys"]]
** The Sex [[SuperMarioBrothers Bob-Ombs]]
** The {{Seinfeld}}-esque scene after Scott spends the night with Ramona, complete with the Seinfeld theme.
** FinalFantasyII
** As horrible as it is, Scott's SARS shirt. Anyone from Toronto can appreciate it.
** Scott also wears shirts featuring the Bass symbol from RockBand, the logo of the {{CBC}}, and the name of the band, Plumtree, who wrote the original "Scott Pilgrim" song that inspired the graphic novels.
** [[RiverCityRansom When people die, they turn into coins.]]
** Sound effects and sprites from ''Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game'' were added to the film in post-production because the director was impressed with the game developer's work.

[[Folder:ScottPilgrim the Game]]
* ShoutOut:
** Wallace's Mystery Shop, in the car tunnel, is a very clear homage to Merlin's Mystery Shop from ''RiverCityRansom''. ** Another direct ref is the Flat Irons bookstore. (To list the others would take up the rest of the page.)
** The Subspace Warp Zones are filled with [[{{Mario}} Bricks and ? Blocks that release coins.]]
** Knive's Assist Kiss with Kim has her doing a little leg lift while she does so. While
this new page. is very old cinemantically, this is possibly a reference to ''{{Karateka}}''.
** Many of Todd's physic attacks are lifted from ''{{Akira}}''.
** One liftable item/weapon is a [[{{SuperMarioBros2}} vegetable with a face.]]
** At the Halloween party, there's someone in the background dressed up as Bang from the Nes Game "ClashAtDemonhead." In addition, one of the enemies is wearing the skull of Tom Guycott, a boss from that game.
** Mobile's house in the park is styled much like the houses in ''ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'', much like that game; he's in the basement and gives (well, he sells it) you a special move.
** Gideon literally sprouts [[OneWingedAngel one angel wing]] during one of his attacks.
** Gideon's underground base is some mix between [[TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles the Technodrome]] and [[MegaMan Dr. Wily's castle.]]
** Whereas comic Roxy uses a regular sword and movie Roxy uses a chain blade, game Roxy's sword works as both, much like the sword of Renji from ''{{Bleach}}''
