SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD GAME GIDEON MOVIE
Knives’ summon attack for Scott has her making a love cloud, which is what she does in both the movie and the graphic novel. This is very clearly Edgar Wright, the director of the Scott Pilgrim film. In the second level you’ll see a director come out during some sections of the level. Scott’s Power of Love sword makes an appearance in the final battle against Gideon as an incredibly strong weapon. This is actually where Scott gets the 1-UP in the graphic novel as well, although in the movie its changed to the Katayanagi twins. The movie takes place over a few days and nights, but the book is over the course of a year, with the Roxy encounter taking place in the summertime.Īfter beating Todd in the third stage, you’ll receive a 1-UP.
