"Is that Ninja Ninja Revolution the stunt double, or Ninja Ninja Revolution the character?".
|
Ninja Ninja Revolution is an arcade game played by Scott Pilgrim and Knives Chau twice in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. It is an obvious parody of Dance Dance Revolution. Scott and Knives appear to have a great deal of skill in the game, utilizing moves from it in order to defeat Gideon Graves.
Game-play involves moving in several directions and performing poses to avoid other ninjas and fight them. The boss of the game is Nega Ninja (whom Scott claims he cannot defeat) which foreshadows the fight with Nega Scott. It is played twice in the Film, the first time at the two's date where during game-play Scott
speaks of Pacman's creation and renaming, the second time is after Scott met Ramona Flowers where he lazily plays it, losing every time. At the end of the Film, a continue screen from the game pops up counting down until you want to play again and goes to credits after going down to 1.
Trivia[]

- It is also referenced in the game referred to as "Ronin Ronin Revolution". The animation for the game was by Blur Studio Inc.
