There are other styles explored as well, mainly in the realms of dance music. This is demonstrated in "Another Winter" which has a lot of harmonic and counter melodic chiptune sounds as well as melodic ones, intersynching well with the heavy distorted guitar and also when the accompaniment dies down. The blend of heavy rock and chiptune sounds works brilliantly throughout the soundtrack, neither one overpowering the other. The "Scott Pilgrim Anthem" wastes no time whatsoever in throwing the listener straight into what the game and the soundtrack is all about upbeat, catchy tunes that get the adrenaline pumping and the mind in the mood to kick some butt. There are also some pop and rock music influences too, with a bit of electronic dance music thrown in for good measure, giving the soundtrack a unique sound and feel to it. This is because the entire soundtrack is a throwback to classic video games, and therefore none of these tracks need to develop into fully developed pieces of music instead they rely on simple, catchy melodies and cool riffs to get the listener in a suitable mood to play the game and in my opinion Anamanaguchi have succeeded brilliantly in achieving this. One thing that may be off putting to some people about this soundtrack is that most of the tracks are under two minutes long, but for a soundtrack of this nature, it works. There are also some nice throwbacks to the musical styles of some retro classics. Rather than try to compete with all of that, Ubisoft instead hired chiptune punk rock band Anamanaguchi to compose and perform the soundtrack, and the result is an extremely satisfying and unique soundtrack that captures the spirit of the game perfectly. As well as all this, an 8-bit version of Jerry Goldsmith's famous Universal Studios theme can be heard, as can some music from The Legend of Zelda series. In the Scott Pilgrim vs The World film, the music was an important part of the production, with many of the bands songs being written and performed by the likes of Beck, Broken Social Scene and Cornelius. If Ubisoft had managed to screw up a video game based on Scott Pilgrim, a franchise well known for its video game references, there would probably be no hope for good quality games based on media franchises. The game uses the art style of the graphic novels and has a lot of references to old school video games also the gameplay is a nice throwback to classic beat 'em ups, making for a satisfying downloadable game to coincide with the highly entertaining film. So the decision to base the Scott Pilgrim video game on the graphic novels rather than the film was a wise one.

He did it all set to a soundtrack of 8-bit tunes (or chiptunes, for the uninitiated), composed by New York band Anamaguchi, who have built a cult following themselves both in the music and gaming world. Like the story’s plot, in the game, the band geek Pilgrim, traverses the streets of Toronto attempting to destroy the seven evil ex-boyfriends of the apple of his eye, Ramona Flowers. When the film dropped, so did Ubisoft’s Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game, which quickly became a popular beat’em up RPG favorite.

Cera’s nerdy boy-next-door aloofness, coupled with his signature sensitivity and adorable mean streak, rendered the Brian Lee O’Malley’s film as much of a cult classic as the graphic novel series was. In arguably the definitive performance of Michael Cera’s acting career, he played the title role in Scott Pilgrim vs The World, Edgar Wright’s 2010 film adaptation of the classic graphic novel series.
