    pygame.display.update()

Right now I'm making a collection game. I want to use a function for replacing all the images once you hit a certain score. It doesn't work, though, no matter how high of a score you get. I don't understand the issue because I tested both the function and the if statement by putting print statements.

You have to use the global statement when you want to change a variable in the global namespace within a function:

def change():
    global monkey, banana, background 
  
    if score>=5:
        monkey = pygame.transform.scale(pre_shark, (100, 100))
        banana = pygame.transform.scale(pre_meat, (50, 50))
        background = pygame.transform.scale(underwater, (backX, backY))

If you don't use the global statement, the values are assigned to local variables in the scope of the function.

Another option is to return the new values from the function:

def change():
    if score>=5:
        return ( 
            pygame.transform.scale(pre_shark, (100, 100)),
            pygame.transform.scale(pre_meat, (50, 50)),
            pygame.transform.scale(underwater, (backX, backY)) )
    return monkey, banana, background

while True:
    # [...]

    monkey, banana, background = change()
