Added DiffLines:

* MainCharacterFinalBoss: Downplayed. Human Twilight Sparkle, the AlternateSelf of Princess Twilight Sparkle (protagonist of the parent series ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' and the first two ''Equestria Girls'' films), is set up as the {{Deuteragonist}}, as she is the most sympathetic of the Crystal Prep students, has an arc about discovering magic and friendship, and gets slowly befriended by the main cast. But PeerPressureMakesYouEvil plus CuriosityIsACrapshoot causes her to unleash the magic she's been inadvertently collecting, turning her into the mad-with-power Midnight Sparkle. Sunset Shimmer and Spike manage to turn her back with an IKnowYoureInthereSomewhereFight.

* EasilyForgiven: Human Twilight is forgiven immediately [[spoiler:after she went power crazy and nearly tore open their world in an attempt to get to Equestria. Sunset Shimmer's example and lead certainly help.]] Everyone actually seems to blame Principal Cinch more (not without reason).
** Also, Crystal Prep is EasilyForgiven for [[spoiler:pressuring Sci-Twi into opening the amulet, because they owned up to their actions (and they didn't realize that uncontrolled magic would massively corrupt Sci-Twi), helped save everybody from falling through the portals, and rallied against Cinch's tyranny after Sci-Twi was brought back to normal]].

* LegFocus: Now that the costume design has started moving away from the original toyline's hoof-shaped boots, a lot of the outfits in this movie seem to be made to show off the girls' legs, such as the Crystal Prep skirt uniform as well as the dresses the Mane Six wear to the welcome party. Special mention goes to [[spoiler:Sunset and Twilight's transformations.]]

Per TRS, this is YMMV


* RefrainFromAssuming:
** Twilight's IWantSong "What More Is Out There" can be interpreted as "There's More That's Out There" hence she never says the former statement.
** "ACADECA". Despite taking place in the same event, it is never said.

-->'''Sunset Shimmer:''' Take my hand, [[spoiler:Twilight. Let me show you there's another way, just like someone once did for me.]]



* KarmaHoudini: {{Downplayed}} in regards to Principal Cinch. [[spoiler:After the whole fiasco is over, she tries to force Canterlot High into forfeiting, threatening to go to the school board when they refuse. It's pointed out that the school board aren't likely to believe fantastic tales about magic, other worlds, and talking dogs, especially when not even her own students will back her up on it. Cinch undergoes a VillainousBreakdown, but quickly regains control over it and storms off with her professionalism intact. However, with the Games ending in a tie, Crystal Prep's winning streak against Canterlot High is no longer perfect, which is one of the things she dreaded the most. And without her smartest student, it's safe to assume the school will take a strong drop in grade average.]]

* SwappedRoles: Sunset is able to use ThePowerOfFriendship to defeat and help [[spoiler:Human Twilight after she went mad with magical power, just like how Pony Twilight did the same for Sunset in the first movie]]. Lampshaded by Sunset herself.

* CreditsBrandProducts: The first part of the opening credits consists of following a spark of magic over the strings of Twilight's board of research on Canterlot High, with "Hasbro Studios Presents" and the names of the executive producers on cards pinned to the board, as well as the movie's title on a post-it note over a calendar.

* StringTheory: The board that 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, their broken amulets, the "Taco Tuesday" poster, and the giant rainbow column of light formed by the Rainbooms. It is heavily and closely featured [[CreditsBrandProducts in the opening credits]].
