      You can hold the block button (in the rerelease), then enter the Konami code (up up down down left right left right) and jump to spawn $50 in exchange for your life. If you have a to-go snack (like the ¢95 chewing gum), it'll revive you, letting you grind for money to pay the late fees, shop at Wallace's store and max out everything before you even fight Matthew Patel. The last stage is still tough, even with all stats at 100, but it's much easier than what GC did here.

      There are a couple more references to Mega Man in the game. The E-Tank in the Technodrome Shop, Scott's victory animation has him teleport out like most characters in the Mega Man series do, and I believe the Technodrome's theme, "TechnoMan" is a reference to Mega Man as well. This music is reminiscent of the Classic 8-Bit Mega Man era, especially with the drums in the song.

    This may have been a challenge for most of us, but unfortunately for me this was normal gameplay because I was too stupid to realize shops did more than just give health items.

    I love Scott Pilgrim so much. The movie is excellent, the writing bangs, Scott goes from being a shit head to a decent human being, and the game is fuckin killer.

      I don’t think he was bad at the end of the series. He learned to not keep running from his past and to deal with the consequences of his actions
      I’d call that decent.

    Here's an idea for a future VG Myths episode: Can you beat Super Mario World without activating any of the colored switches? You have to beat every world, and that includes every Star World level as well as the Special Zone.
