** A major problem was that Applejack, Rainbow, and Rarity were taking over the projects and wouldn't listen to the Crusaders. So, even if Scootaloo, Applebloom, and Sweetie did get the Karts they wanted, all the credit and ideas would have still been from the older siblings. Not to mention, they still most likely would have been forced to the passenger seat anyway.

* UnintentionallySympathetic: While A.J, Dash and Rarity are certainly to blame for not listening to their sisters and taking over the competition, it's arguable if they can really be held responsible for ruining the race for everyone else. The reason they ''all'' crashed was because someone had the bright idea of the track having multiple roads all intersect at one point. Really, a crash like that could have occurred at any time, regardless of the main characters' actions.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: If you expected a gag-filled WackyRacing episode... well, you'd be wrong. (Until the huge crash, anyway.) Instead the entire episode revolves around Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash acting in full ItsAllAboutMe mode and ignoring the Cutie Mark Crusaders' feelings until the three little fillies finally snap.

** Also, Apple Bloom is an Earth pony, and probably wouldn't have been able to visit Rainbow Dash's house the way Scootaloo (a pegasus) could. At least, not without using Twilight's Hot Air Balloon.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash in a nutshell.

* BrokenAesop: The Crusaders are supposed to learn that they could have avoided everything that went wrong if they had just voiced their concerns to their sisters. The trouble is, the episode seems to forget that that's exactly what they ''did''. They constantly questioned the older trio throughout the episode, asking if they could do things their way and even outright complained. It seems a little hollow when the older sisters simply try to claim YouNeverAsked, when they were constantly brushing off, or even outright ignoring whatever their younger sisters said.

* DiabolusExMachina: The reason for the crash. Bascially, the crash only happened because Rarity had been holding most of the other racers up, Dash's cart had lost a wheel and A.J had been trundling behind, resulting in them just ''happening'' to all meet in the middle at the exact same time.

** Applebloom could've asked Rainbow Dash to help build her kart (fastest design), Scootaloo could've asked Rarity to build her kart (most creative design), and Sweetie Belle could've asked Applejack to build her kart (most traditional design).
