11!!''Daring Do & the Mysterious Mare Do Well: Canterlot Crisis'' provides examples of:
12
13* ActionPrologue: The story begins with Mare-Do-Well racing to Union Jack's rendezvous point in Manehatten.
14* BigApplesauce: As shown with Manehatten, which is from the show proper, is described in both its good side and its [[TheBigRottenApple bad side.]] As described in the fanfiction:
15-->...Manehatten. A city that never slept, the home of corruption and opportunity. A land where anypony could make it big, or hit rock bottom. A city where a risk-taker like Daring could consider a ''decent'' place to live.
16* CoolCar: Or rather, a cool stagecoach, courtesy of the Mysterious Mare-Do-Well. It looks like your typical stagecoach (mysteriously without any horses), but on the inside, it is an advanced vehicle that has a computer, and is truly [[spoiler: a car that's both computer controlled and manually controlled.]]
17* ContinuityNod: The story makes reference to the event when Ponyville was attacked by parasprites in "Swarm of the Century".
18* CrimefightingWithCash: Mare-Do-Well is loaded with cash, what with her high-tech suit, a car, a five star underground lair and a computer to boot. Daring Do believes she's more rich than Fancy Pants himself.
19* DeadpanSnarker: Mysterious Mare-Do-Well.
20* ElaborateUndergroundBase: Mare-Do-Well's HomeBase is this. And it definitely lives up to its elaborate name. The entrance is located one mile below Canterlot, hidden. You then take an elevator down below to the most extravagant suite you have ever seen. As seen in Chapter 2 and Chapter 5, it contains white metallic walls, emerald carpeting, a desk for solving crime, a wall of gadgets, a wall that has a computer behind it, a dark room, an elaborate kitchen, amongst other things. The only thing missing in the base is the [[SuperheroTrophyShelf trophy shelf]].
21* EvilBrit: Union Jack, who was born in Trottingham.
22* EvilCounterpart: Dr. Giovanni D'Angelo is this to Daring Do.
23* EyeScream: Mare-Do-Well spits chemical in Union Jack's eyes at the beginning of the story, which results in Union Jack getting an eyepatch for the rest of the story.
24%%* Foreshadowing:
25* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: Mare-Do-Well tells Daring Do as this being the main reason why she cannot reveal her identity.
26-->'''Mare-Do-Well:''' I already told you, I can't reveal my identity. It may compromise others that I have worked with. My enemies are still out there, trying to find me. And if they know who I communicate with, they'll likely go through them to get to me. Who knows, they could be listening to me right now.
27* IWorkAlone: Besides the occasional partnership of associates (at leas in Daring Do's case, and implied in Mare-Do-Well's case) both Daring Do and the Mysterious Mare-Do-Well's jobs aren't particularly social, though Mare-Do-Well upholds this troupe the most. However, ever since her investigations into the dangerous HURRICANE, and her team-up with Daring Do, has caused her to consider getting a partner. In Chapter 11, it is revealed that [[spoiler:somepony once got mixed up with Mare-Do-Well's work, like Daring Do, but ends up getting killed in the process.]]
28* MysteriousPast: The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well
29* ThePowerOfFriendship: Daring Do shares Mare-Do-Well the friendship.
30* NamesToRunFromReallyFast: The criminal syndicate H.U.R.R.I.C.A.N.E. and High Roller, the original, ruthless leader of the group (though since he is dead, he's not the one you have to worry about).
31* ShoutOut: When Givonni gives Daring Do his NotSoDifferentRemark, he lifts a line from Rene Belloc of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Shoot, he technically ''is'' Rene.
32* ThouShaltNotKill: Subverted, both Daring Do and Mare-Do-Well are willing to kill if necessary.
33* YouWatchTooMuchX: Daring Do tells Mare-Do-Well that she reads too much comic books, as a response to her. Mare-Do-Well is amused.
34%%* WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys
35* YouHaveFailedMe: The HURRICANE syndicate makes it clear that they will kill anybody who fails their objectives.
