History YMMV / AdventurePonies

* NightmareFuel: The Hydra's entrance -- waiting until you're right on top of its lake, before slowly emerging like an 8-bit Franchise/{{Godzilla}} -- is SurpriseCreepy for such a simplistic game.

** King Sombra as a WarmUpBoss[=/=]ZeroEffortBoss, despite being a close second (limited screentime or not) to Discord on the show. Extra glaringly -- Trixie's AdvancingBossOfDoom fight plays much more like his on-show threat, only with the Alicorn Amulet instead of the Crystal Heart.

* BadassDecay: The show's King Sombra is a OneManArmy. This version is just a downright-sad ZeroEffortBoss.

** King Sombra as a WarmUpBoss[=/=]ZeroEffortBoss, despite being almost as powerful as Discord on the show (limited screentime or not). Extra glaringly, Trixie's AdvancingBossOfDoom fight plays much more like his on-show threat, only with the Alicorn Amulet instead of the Crystal Heart.

** King Sombra as a WarmUpBoss[=/=]ZeroEffortBoss, despite being almost as dire as Discord on the show (limited screentime or not). Extra glaringly, Trixie's AdvancingBossOfDoom fight plays much more like his on-show threat, only with the Alicorn Amulet instead of the Crystal Heart.

* BadassDecay: The show's King Sombra is a GodEmperor OneManArmy. This version is just a downright-sad ZeroEffortBoss.

* NightmareFuel: The Hydra's entrance -- waiting until you're right on top of its lake, before slowly emerging like an 8-bit Franchise/{{Godzilla}} -- is surprisingly creepy for such a simplistic game.

** And with a flying character, one can simply abuse the fact that he can't shoot directly above himself and automatically jumps if you're higher up than him. cue ZeroEffortBoss.

** King Sombra as a WarmUpBoss[=/=]ZeroEffortBoss, despite being an almost-Discord-level PersonOfMassDestruction on the show (limited screentime or not). Extra glaringly, Trixie's AdvancingBossOfDoom fight plays much more like his on-show threat, only with the Alicorn Amulet instead of the Crystal Heart.

* BadassDecay: The show's King Sombra was a PersonOfMassDestruction almost on par with Discord; this version is just a downright-sad ZeroEffortBoss.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: King Sombra as a WarmUpBoss[=/=]ZeroEffortBoss, despite being almost a Discord-level PersonOfMassDestruction on the show (limited screentime or not).

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: King Sombra as a WarmUpBoss[=/=]ZeroEffortBoss, despite being almost a Discord-level PersonOfMassDestruction on the show (limited screentime or not). Extra glaring is how Trixie's AdvancingBossOfDoom fight plays much more like his on-show threat, only with the Alicorn Amulet instead of the Crystal Heart.

* ThatOneLevel: Level 6 as Rainbow Dash or Fluttershy, since their path includes a long corridor with SpikesOfDoom above and a BottomlessPit below.

* ThatOneLevel: Level 6 as Rainbow Dash or Fluttershy, since their path includes a long corridor with SpikesOfDoom above and a BottomlessPit below.
* TheyJustDidntCare: King Sombra being such a blatant ZeroEffortBoss. Especially since Trixie's unique, AdvancingBossOfDoom status is practically an {{Expy}} of his on-show self.

* ThatOneLevel: Level 6 as Rainbow Dash or Fluttershy, since their path includes a long corridor with SpikesOfDoom above and a BottomlessPit below.

** The battle against the Ursa Minor and Ursa Major in the sequel, since all you have to do is collect all of the musical notes to get them to sleep.

** And with a flying character, one can simply abuse the fact that he can't shoot directly above himself and automatically jumps if your higher up than him. cue ZeroEffortBoss.

* ThatOneLevel: Level 6 as Rainbow Dash.

** With the right strategy, Rainbow Dash reduces the Hydra to a ZeroEffortBoss.

* ThatOneBoss: Discord is much, '''much''' harder than anything else in the entire game. He can only be damaged while he's attacking or jumping, the former situation being much more common. Said attack just so happens to be a wave of three fireballs that are very fast and hard to avoid. And unless you use [[GameBreaker The Stare]], he takes a lot of hits to go down. Did I mention he can corner you pretty easily too?

* ThatOneBoss: Disord is much, '''much''' harder than anything else in the entire game. He can only be damaged while he's attacking or jumping, the former situation being much more common. Said attack just so happens to be a wave of three fireballs that are very fast and hard to avoid. And unless you use [[GameBreaker The Stare]], he takes a lot of hits to go down. Did I mention he can corner you pretty easily too?

** They're ''much'' harder with a close ranged charater like Applejack though.

* ThatOneBoss: Disord is much, '''much''' harder than anything else in the entire game. He can only be damaged while he's attacking or jumping, the former situation being much more common. Said attack just so happens to be a wave of three fireballs that are very fast and hard to avoid. And unless you use [[GameBreaker The Stare]], he takes a lot of hits to go down.

* GameBreaker: Fluttershy. Like Rainbow Dash, she can fly, and the only attack in the game that does more damage is Applejack's bucking, which is much harder to control.
