History Fanfic / SweetiesMansion

* NiceHat: After catching Applejack and Old!Twilight was only able bring half of her out of the painting, Sweetie was given Applejack’s hat for moral support and Sweetie wears this throughout the entire story. [[spoiler:That is until she gets possessed by the butler when everyone got captured.]]

* ShoutOut: The intermission chapter references FanFic/{{Cupcakes}}, as a horror novel [[LowerDeckEpisode Bubsy Sword]] read once, and the Princess Molestia meme when he's contemplating being punished for negligence.

* [[HumanPopsicle Pony Popsicle]]: Ghost!Fluttershy does this to ponies who have fallen for her stares which slowly freezes them from the ground up. Ghost!Rainbow Dash on the other hand freezes ponies from the inside out after she flies through them.

* TimedMission: Sweetie has a gut feeling that if she doesn’t save everyone in time, something bad might happen in the morning. [[spoiler:She’s right, Specter is trying to cause an eclipse by using the princesses's powers to bring eternal darkness over Equestria and bring back Discord.]]
* Trope 3000: The [[VideoGame/LuigisMansion Poltergust 3000]] is called the Ghost Captor Device here, GCD for short, and it’s an automated machine that upgrades after each portrait ghost is caught.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Sure the ghosts normally tried to kill Luigi in the game the story is based off of. But what makes this trope is the means the ghosts use in trying to either kill or discourage Sweetie. Like possessed Apple Bloom going after Sweetie with a knife in her mouth, Sweetie almost getting burned to death a couple of times, and she even suffers serious injuries [[spoiler:like from jumping off a tight rope in Ghost!Pinkie’s CircusOfFear that resulted in Sweetie breaking her leg and Sweetie running into a corpse of Scootaloo, which was thankfully a fake.]] In the earlier chapters, the story has a very SurvivalHorror feel to it, and even after getting the GCP, that ambience never quite goes away.

* DeathByPragmatism: In one of choices for the ChooseYourOwnAdventure style of the early chapters, realizing immediately that [[spoiler:Scootaloo is possessed]] and trying to make a break for it gets Sweetie killed, resulting in a game over.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Early chapters had a simplistic ChooseYourOwnAdventure-type thing going (green "O" advances plot; red "o" leads to death scene); this was ceased in response to protest round about capturing AJ.

* XMeetsY: Sweetie’s Mansion is basically a combination of ''VideoGame/LuigisMansion''[[note]]in the main premise of capturing ghosts in a mansion using a vacuum-like device, along with being able to turn captured ghosts into portraits.[[/note]], ''Franchise/ResidentEvil''[[note]]Sweetie solving puzzles by grabbing and using regular items like screwdrivers to move around the building. She also has to find keys or other different types of items in order to unlock certain doors or objects. Healing items are also scarce.[[/note]], and ''VideoGame/AmnesiaTheDarkDescent''[[note]]Sweetie has to avoid getting killed by the roaming enemies and her sanity slowing begins to slip as the story goes on due to her being alone in the dark for so long. She also finds notes and books relating to the past events that occurred to Specter Yield and his family.[[/note]].

Sweetie’s Mansion is a semi-crossover fanfiction that is based on ''[[LuigisMansion Luigi’s Mansion]]'', where Sweetie Belle, just like Luigi, has to search a mansion filled with ghosts to find their missing sibling. But this fanfiction takes a unique spin on it where no Mario characters appear, there’s a bigger mystery to be solved and all of Sweetie’s friends, save for a few, are turned into ghosts that want to kill her. Basically unlike ''[[LuigisMansion Luigi’s Mansion]]'' Sweetie must defeat her friends in order to save them. The question is can she really do all of that when she’s just [[KidHero a young kid?]] The only way to find out is to read the fic [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/7526/Sweetie%27s-Mansion here.]]

* BigGood: Madame Fleur fills this role and the role of [[LuigisMansion Madame Clairvoya]] in Sweetie’s Mansion and like Clairvoya, she is the only ghost that wanted to help Sweetie Belle in her endeavors. She’s also the one responsible for lighting the rooms after all the ghosts are caught in there for Sweetie, but she can’t light an entire zone of the mansion due to it [[ChaosArchitecture always changing around every few minutes]].

* Trope 3000: The [[LuigisMansion Poltergust 3000]] is called the Ghost Captor Device here, GCD for short, and it’s an automated machine that upgrades after each portrait ghost is caught.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: As usual [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic from the show,]] Pinkie Pie can do this even when she’s been turned into a ghost which makes her somewhat DangerouslyGenreSavvy as well when she’s Sweetie’s enemy. [[spoiler:When Sweetie Belle catches Ghost!Pinkie she starts to gain some of those abilities as well when she off-handedly calls out the author’s direction in the story while she was in the [[LotusEaterMachine Dream World]] Spiffy trapped her in.]]

When [[LuigisMansion a strange mansion]] [[TheLittleShopThatWasntThereYesterday appeared out of nowhere]] in the outskirts of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Ponyville,]] the Mane 6 are invited to a housewarming by Specter Yield, the owner of the mansion. Hours after they leave to attend the party, the Cutie Mark Crusaders crash land their paper airplane during their latest misadventures to get a cutie mark in the area around the mansion. Sweetie Belle finds herself alone in the forest, separated from the rest of the CMC, and eventually comes across the mansion and the owner’s butler. After being invited to stay in for the night, Sweetie wakes from a nightmare to find a ghost attacking her and just before the ghost takes her, Sweetie is saved by an old pony with a strange vacuum who turns out to be none other than Twilight Sparkle.

* HyperactiveMetabolism: Old!Twilight invented a really useful item called “Heart Candy” which is supposed to be like the hearts that heals Luigi in [[LuigisMansion his game.]] For Sweetie Belle though, she has to eat them to recover any injury she has [[spoiler:even a broken leg she got while fighting Ghost!Pinkie.]] But it takes a while to make a lot of them and when Twilight was about to bring that much to Sweetie Belle, she was suddenly attacked by ghosts and had them all stolen from her save for one. Since it’s too dangerous for Old!Twilight to make some more, Sweetie has to rely on finding them around the mansion and since they only can be used once and are rare, this makes the heart candies be more like herbs of Franchise/ResidentEvil.

* [[spoiler:ShipTease: After Sweetie Belle exorcises them, it is revealed that Apple Bloom likes Spike in this story, but Spike is NotHimself and is really interested in Sweetie Belle. This eventually becomes a love triangle between the three.]]

* ShoutOut: The intermission chapter references FanFic/{{Cupcakes}}, as a horror novel [[LowerDeckEpisode Bubsy Sword]] read once, and the Princess Molesia meme when he's contemplating being punished for negligence.
