What a prick.
The Extra Life is a seemingly silly item that Scott picks up that seems like just another video game reference, but one that becomes integral to the story in Book 6. Without the life, the story would have ended with Scott dying in book 6 and never lead to the reunion with Ramona or anything else.
Sometimes referred to as an "extra guy" or "1-Up," these are found in most video games.
Use in the story
It is kinda creepy, isn't it?
In Book 3, after defeating Todd Ingram with a killer headbutt, one of the items he drops along with the usual coins is an extra life. The life's smiling face appears to creep Scott out significantly.
Would have been a sucky end if not for this...
In Book 6, Gideon impales Scott with the Power Of Love, killing him, then buying a round of drinks for everyone in the club. However, while trapped in his own Subspace and reuniting with Ramona, the item is automatically activated and the pair return to the fight.
In vs. the World
The Extra Life in the Movie
In the Movie Scott receives the extra life for defeating Kyle & Ken Katayanagi instead of Todd Ingram and like in the last book he uses his life after being defeated by Gideon. The extra life warps back to his apartment, with a x2 power bonus right before he sprints off to Chaos Theatre allowing Scott to replay the whole level and waste Gideon's guards on the way inside and gives him time to make amends to his friends.
In the movie, the 1-Up is in the shape of Scott's sprite head from the Game.
In vs. the World: The Game
Defeating Todd with earn you a 1-up, just like in Book 3, but the player can buy multiple 1-ups in Area 1's No-Account Video store post late-fee payment (The Mystical Head) and a secret shop inside the tunnel of the same stage (Tlulco's Feast).
