* {{Balloonacy}}: When Rainbow Dash announce "We need to get a better view," naturally Pinkie Pie pulls out her trademark party balloons and they start floating above the trees.
* ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction: Of course it's Pinkie Pie, so it should come as no surprise that she can done half a dozen different suits in a few seconds.
* GrapplingHookPistol: Pinkie Pie has a grappling hook shooter integrated with the belt of her "cat burglar" suit, and demonstrates its use.
* HypocriticalHumor: Upset, Rainbow Dash explains to Pinkie the basics of stealth... in a voice that get louder and louder until she's plain and simply yelling.
* MobileShrubbery: Among her camouflage options, Pinkie Pie disguises as a tree. And later, when they're spotted, she picks up the shrub she was hidding in before running, [[RuleOfFunny for some reason]].

* SpyCatsuit: Pinkie changes into one in a blink of the eye before demonstrating her "cat burglar" and "dog burglar" techniques.
* TunnelKing: Pinkie Pie in her "dog burglar" outfit puts on a puppy Spike mask, and then she begins to dig like a canine, quickly burrying herself in a tunnel.
* UnnecessaryCombatRoll: Rainbow Dash makes a few quite gratuitous rolls while sneaking on Crystal Prep's sport team. She apparently can't help showing off, even in supposed stealth .
* WithCatlikeTread:
** Pinkie Pie's attempts at stealth are more conspicuous than anything else, with party balloons and a giant boom mike being just the tip of the iceberg. Her ridiculous outfits include a wig looking like a bush, a ''tree'' disguise, a bunny suit... and the "camouflage" one, looking like army fatigues but entirely in shades of pink.
--->'''Rainbow Dash:''' That's like the ''opposite'' of camouflage!
** Not that Rainbow Dash is much better. Beside her abuse of the UnnecessaryCombatRoll, when upset at Pinkie she starts ''yelling'' that they need to be quiet. Of course, this works about as well as you'd expect at staying unnoticed.

* PaperThinDisguise: Most of the outfits Pinkie shows to Rainbow Dash, but particularly her "camouflage" outfit, though while sporting the random spots and dark patches one would expect of military camouflage, it is all in bright pinks rather than the olive drab typically used when trying to hide among greenery.

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.
