The plot centers around the Canterlot High Wondercolts facing off against the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts in the eponymous Friendship Games, which include archery, motocross, and roller derby. Among the ranks of the Shadowbolts is the human incarnation of Twilight Sparkle, who was previously seen in TheStinger of ''Rainbow Rocks'' studying the magical ongoings at Canterlot High. It's unknown whether Princess Twilight will appear and meet her human counterpart.

* StringTheory: The board that human Twilight has been using to track the strange events at Canterlot High, previously seen in the ''Rainbow Rocks'' stinger, is still around, and now has expanded to include elements from ''Rainbow Rocks'', such as a blurry photo of the Dazzling's siren forms, the "Taco Tuesday" poster, and the giant rainbow column of light formed by the Humane 6 and Sunset.

** Humanized versions of Trenderhoof, Jet Set, Upper Crust, Suri Polomare, Fleur Des Lis, Pokey Pierce, and Neon Lights are also part of the Crystal Prep student body. Cadance also appears (shown at the trailer at 2015 SDCC booth), but her role is yet clear.

* CallBack: Human Twilight introduces herself to Pinkie, who responds that she already knows who Twilight is since Pony Twilight has been friends with the Humane Five. Human Twilight had even been foreshadowed by Pinkie herself when Pony Twilight first met Pinkie in the first film.

** Sunset's default outfit is the one that appeared in the three post-release ''Rainbow Rocks'' shorts, smoothing out her "tough girl" image.

* AlternateSelf: The human Twilight Sparkle from TheStinger of ''Rainbow Rocks'' goes to Crystal Prep, and is part of the Shadowbolts team.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: The Shadowbolts always beat the Wondercolts at the Friendship Games. It's left the Wondercolts rather unenthusiastic about the Games.
* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: The human Twilight has some kind of magic amulet around her neck that's opening portals (which may make it cross over into ArtifactOfDoom territory, especially since she doesn't seem to have any control over it). If it is anything like the amulet Trixie used to take revenge, it could also foreshadow the reason for Twilights behaviour.

* BreadEggsBreadedEggs: After Rainbow wonders aloud what the events are, Pinkie [[HammerspaceHair pulls a pie out of her hair]] and suggest pie eating, then pulls out a cake and suggests cake eating. She then gets excited, smashes the pie and cake together, and suggest "pie-cake eating".

* TheCameo: Humanized versions of Trenderhoof, Jet Set, Upper Crust, Suri Polomare, Fleur Des Lis, Pokey Pierce, and Neon Lights are part of the Crystal Prep student body.

* FlatJoy: The students of Canterlot High at the first Friendship Games pep rally sound awfully bored and lifeless. As Applejack puts it, "it's hard to excited about somebody that beats you at everything."

* PurpleIsPowerful: The magic from the amulet is purple, just like Princess Twilight's magic.

* AndTheAdventureContinues[=/=]ImmediateSequel[=/=]SequelEpisode: This movie resumes from where TheStinger of the last film left off, where Human!Twilight is investigating something strange at Canterlot High.

* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: The human Twilight has some kind of magic amulet around her neck that's opening portals (which may make it cross over into ArtifactOfDoom territory, especially since she doesn't seem to have any control over it).

* AdaptationalVillainy: Twilight Sparkle is TheHero of Generation 4 of ''My Little Pony.'' This movie has her human counterpart as an antagonist. Though from what we see in the trailer, [[AntiVillain she's not]] [[ShrinkingViolet that villainous]].

''My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Friendship Games'' is the third movie in the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'' line of films, itself a spin-off of the animated television show ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. It is currently set for release in September 26 2015.

The plot centers around the Canterlot High Wondercolts facing off against the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts in the titular Friendship Games, which include archery, motocross, and roller derby. Among the ranks of the Shadowbolts is the human incarnation of Twilight Sparkle, who was previously seen in TheStinger of ''Rainbow Rocks'' studying the magical ongoings at Canterlot High. It remains unconfirmed on whether or not pony Twilight will come through the portal again and come face to face with her human counterpart.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: The Shadowbolts apparently always beat the Wondercolts at the Friendship Games.
* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: The human Twilight seems to have some kind of magic amulet around her neck that's opening portals (which may make it cross over into ArtifactOfDoom territory).
* AscendedExtra: The Shadowbolts in the show were merely illusions conjured by Nightmare Moon, and their only other appearance was as Rainbow Dash's Nightmare Night costume. Now they're apparently the main antagonists.

* CoolBike: Both the Wondercolts and Shadowbolts have motocross bikes as part of the competition. At the very least, Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer even have bikes that correspond to their colors.

* ShrinkingViolet: Not quite on Fluttershy levels, but the human Twilight seems quite timid in the trailer.

* WhenDimensionsCollide: The trailer shows what appear to be portals between the human world and Equestria appearing.
