* ChirpingCrickets: Even crickets know that Phoenix [[CriticalResearchFailure has seriously messed up]]:

* CriticalResearchFailure: In-universe:
-->'''Phoenix''': What's her problem, Twilight? She can't honestly think [[PaintingTheFrostOnWindows someone can control weather]]. It's ludicrous!\\
'''Trixie''': You have to be the biggest imbecile Trixie has ever laid eyes on!\\
'''Judge''': Mr. Wright... that's a Pegasus's job here in Equestria. It's… sort of what they do.\\
'''Phoenix''': Mmmph... uh... what...?

* TheDayTheMusicLied: The first use of the triumphant ''Pursuit ~ Cornered'' is for a [[CriticalResearchFailure critically wrong]] outburst by Phoenix, and it dies just as quickly as it shows up.

-->'''Phoenix''': I was given one more chance, one more chance to find the truth. It's either sink or swim. [[spoiler:Even if she tries to have me arrested for intrusion]]. I got her on the stand; it doesn't matter anymore. It's time she pays her dues for all she's done... Including the murder...

* ThemeTuneCameo: Pinkie Pie hums ''Ace Attorney's'' iconic ''Pursuit ~ Cornered'' theme as they are entering Ace's room.
-->'''Phoenix:''' ''([[LeaningOnTheFourthWall That song she's humming sounds really, really familiar…]])''

* VengeanceFeelsEmpty: [[spoiler:Gilda's attempted revenge ended up causing this for her.]]

-->[[spoiler:''"It's amazing what one little mistake ended up costing me..."'']]

** Zig-zagged a bit by Trixie. While she is angered by the resolution of the trial, the way Phoenix manages to figure out the actual truth behind the crime leaves her humbled. She admits she can't beat Phoenix's case and rests the prosecution. However, after the trial she is too angry to speak and smacks Phoenix on the head.
