The game was labeled under Universal when it was first came out (who helped co-produce it in lieu with the movie) so it was technically under their license at the time. When the rights expired they didn't renew and it got de-listed as a result. Basically a result of a licensed property under non-physical digital distribution (as least if it was physical the license only extended to production, as you can still ''look'' for physical copies).

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments: After being delisted for years and thought to be hopelessly gone forever; on September 10th, 2020 [[UpdatedRerelease a complete version of the game]] was announced to be coming back on almost every modern platform.

** The ''Complete Edition'' is also seeing a bit of this, since it was announced meer weeks after Ubisoft was racked over the coals for a number of controversies (accusations of sexual misconduct against major executives, reports that the CEO was ''covering'' for said executives, ''VideoGame/TomClancysEliteSquad'' being tone-deaf and moderately racist)... Some are seeing the game's return as a shallow grab for goodwill.

* ThatOneLevel: Four and Five respectfully.
** For the former is due to introducing ninjas who will ''instantly'' rush you and swipe mercilessly at you. Not to mention block a lot of your hits unless you find a weapon, which, luckily, the stage has no short supply of.
** For that latter, the Halloween Party is easy enough to get through. But the hideout part is where the difficulty ramps up. Enemies now have higher stats, are hard-hitters and can likewise block a lot of your hits. Not to mention some slight platforming sections that, with multi-players can be tricky to get through. And while the bosses may be easy, on multiplayer it throws those same mooks at you as your're trying to fight the twins and can quickly crowd the screen.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: In 2014, the game was delisted from XBLA, PSN, and Steam. Those who previously bought the game can still redownload it, but everyone else either has to rely on piracy or miss out entirely. Though Byran is trying to find a way to get it back up.
** However this trope has finally averted with the announcement of Scott Pilgrim vs The World: The Game Complete Edition for multiple platforms.

* OvershadowedByControversy: While "controversy" is a bit strong, the game is mostly known for [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes its unavailability]] as opposed to its gameplay, often being seen as the poster child for the dangers of digital-only games when the issue comes up.

* ThatOneLevel: Six and Seven respectfully.

** [[spoiler:Gideon's]] OneWingedAngel form. It requires that you use the provided weapon to have a chance to beat this boss and if you lose it (which you have a good chance to with their lousy pick-up response) you have to fight with your fists. The boss a sucker punch that launches you off the stage when it hits you and will keep doing it every time you respawn, right into the path of the punch. What makes this worse is this is part of Level 7, the [[MarathonLevel longest level]] of the game!
** Todd can be this for first time players who haven't leveled up much. Unlike the previous two bosses, he takes a lot abuse from lower level characters and can hit hard as well. Doesn't help that it's difficult to get away from him ifyou manage to break through his shield and get hits off, as he can counter with a psychic shock to knock you back.

** For the former is dude to introducing ninjas who will ''instantly'' rush you and swipe mercilessly at you. Not to mention block a lot of your hits unless you find a weapon, which, luckily, the stage as no short supply of.
** For that latter, the Halloween Party is easy enough to get through. But the hideout part is where the difficulty ramps up. Enemies no have higher stats and can likewise block a lot of your hits. Not to mention so slight platforming sections that, with multi-players can be tricky to get through. And while the bosses may be easy, on multiplayer it throws those same mooks at you with your trying to fight the twins and can quickly crowd the screen.

** While a lot of them have the potential to be that one boss, [[spoiler:Nega-Scott]] is generally regarded to be the most difficult of them all. Unless you ''really'' know what you're doing, tackling him alone is begging for an ass whooping.
** Knives's father can be spotted walking the world map for [[BonusBoss an optional boss fight]]. He is [[LightningBruiser very powerful]].

* BestBossEver: [[spoiler:Despite being [[AntiClimaxBoss pretty]] [[BreatherBoss easy]], [[HumongousMecha Super]] [[{{Anime/MazingerZ}} Robot]] [[MacrossMissileMassacre Fighter]] [[FrickingLaserBeams is]] ''[[AwesomeMusic awesome]].'']]

* AdaptationDistillation: Don't like the MoodWhiplash or mixed messages of the comic? Don't like the uneven feel of the movie? Here, have a BeatEmUp without any of the baggage of either!
