When the cast is listed during the opening credits, the drawings in the background display little motifs related to the characters they play in the movie:
- Chris Evans: Lucas Lee's skateboards and the logo for his company
- Anna Kendrick: Coffee stains and wet mug marks (Stacey Pilgrim works at a coffee shop)
- Alison Pill: The words "one! two! three! four! (which Kim Pine typically yells to signal the start of a Sex Bob-Omb song) and the Sex-Bob-Omb logo
- Aubrey Plaza: Black squares (which are used to obscure Julie Powers' mouth whenever she curses)
- Brandon Routh: Bass guitars (Todd Ingram defeats Scott Pilgrim in a bass duel) and the number 3
- Jason Schwartzman: The three triangle symbol of Gideon Graves' company and a pair of glasses
- Ellen Wong: A pair of knives similar to those which Knives Chau uses in the final fight.
- Kieran Culkin: A cell phone status bar (Wallace Wells can text while sleeping)
- Johnny Simmons: Rectangles mimicking the design on Young Neil's shirt and his Nintendo DS
- Michael Cera: Scott Pilgrim's bass strings
- Mary Elizabeth Winstead: Three different shades of hair, denoting how many times Ramona changes hair color
- Brie Larson: Broken hearts denoting Envy Adams' cruelty to Scott
- Mark Webber: Stephen Stills' acoustic guitar.
- Mae Whitman: Four X's denoting Roxie Richter's position as evil ex number 4 and a razor blade denoting her razor whip
The opening Universal logo is rendered in 8-bit graphics and sound, and it segues into the beginning of the film.
As the film ends, "Continue?" screen countdown appears, similar to games like Street Fighter 2, which counts down the last few seconds before the credits begin.
At the end, the words "The End" are shown in a Scott Pilgrim graphic novel-inspired font, and the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game (2010) version of Scott Pilgrim 'defeats' the words as if they are a boss, complete with his Rockman-inspired 'Level Complete' animation.
When Scott's avatar/icon "defeats" the words "The End" at the end credits, the words turn into coins, like every defeated Evil Ex in the film.
