Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game is a retro-styled beat-em-up based on the hit movie and graphic novels. This game was infamously delisted from Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, probably due to the license expiring, until early 2021 when a "Complete Edition" was released for Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC.

Unused Graphics#

Level 1 Concept#

Concept art for the first level of the game.

Level 3 Boss Concept#

Concept art for Todd Ingram's boss fight. The filename, "FAKEshooter.png", implies that, at some point in development Todd's boss fight was supposed to be a shooter in some way, but got scrapped into just a boss fight due to time constraints.

Enemy Concept#

Enemy ideas. They are said to be "Based on Paul's sprite."

Piñata#

Piñata concept art. And what a Piñata it is.

Portraits#

The only interesting thing about this image is the inclusion of what could have been Envy and Lynette's boss portrait.

Unseen Graphics#

Matthew's boss portrait has some extra details at the top and bottom.
