Trivia / Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game

• Bad Export for You: While the re-release is available for purchase in Japan, it only supports European languages and lacks any Japanese localization whatsoever. This is despite the original version having a Japanese language option (although even there a good portion of text was left in English, which somewhat fits the retro gaming aesthetic).
• Colbert Bump: Anamanaguchi and Paul Robertson each got one. Unfortunately, the unknowing found out a bit too late that Paul Robertson's work can be incredibly graphic.
• Feelies: All versions of the physical Limited Run Complete Edition release on Playstation 4 and Nintendo Switch come with a replica Clash at Demonhead concert ticket (with the game's original release date printed on it) and a manual for the game.
• Keep Circulating the Tapes:
  • The game was pulled from PSN and XBLA on December 30, 2014, most likely due to Universal's license expiring, and with game codes not working either, the only way to play the game was to pirate it (easier said than done).
  • On August 10th, 2016, Bryan Lee O'Malley expressed a strong desire on Twitter to see the game re-released, saying "Give me time."
  • Rescued: On September 10, 2020, The Complete Edition was announced for a holiday 2020 release on PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC, and Stadia. It's an Updated Re-release which includes both DLC packs. Digital release was later pushed back to January 14, 2021, with a limited 6-week pre-order run for physical editions beginning a day later, January 15.
• Limited Special Collector's Ultimate Edition: A week before the game's re-release, Limited Run Games announced three limited edition physical releases of the game for consoles.
  • The Standard Edition is a simple physical copy of the game with a reversible cover sheet, a manual and a commemorative The Clash at Demonhead ticket.
  • The Classic Edition includes the above plus a full-color instruction booklet, a clamshell case that also has the reversible cover art, the game's soundtrack by Anamanaguchi on CD, an overworld map of the game, and a sticker sheet featuring art from the game.
  • The KO! Edition includes everything from the Classic Edition plus a premium hard-shell roadie collector's case featuring working lights and sound that plays a clip of Anamanaguchi's music from the game, an official guide book of the game, the game's soundtrack on cassette, two sticker sheets instead of one, full-sized wooden drum sticks featuring animations frames of Scott and Kim from the game playing music, three Sex Bob-omb guitar picks (one for each light, medium, and heavy gauge), a Scott Pilgrim loading screen enamel pin, and a set of high-gloss trading cards featuring the 7 Evil Exes.
• Recursive Adaptation: Not directly, but the original Scott Pilgrim graphic novels were so steeped in video game tropes and references that it's a similar idea.
• Urban Legend of Zelda: People still, to this day, over a decade after its release, trying to figure out how to get to the Mario-style Green Pipes scattered throughout the overhead screen.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Telltale Games asked to make a video game based on the character, but Bryan said no due to the fact he couldn't see Scott Pilgrim as a Point-and-Click Adventure Game.
  • Bryan has stated on Twitter that there were plans to release a Montreal DLC, making the three The Clash At Demonhead characters playable, but it was never realized due to budget cuts.
