Their skills get the attention of Auntie Zoe's spy agency, and the girls are soon recruited to help catch a wily cat burglar who's eluded every other agent so far.

10	!!This movie contains examples of:
11	* BadassLongcoat: Barbie and her friends sometimes wear them while on the job. They're brighter and more colorful than most examples of the trope.

13	* BigBadFriend: [[spoiler:Agent Dunbar, who trained the girls, hired their classmate Patricia to steal the gems.]]
14	* CatGirl: The cat burglar wears a cat ear headband.
15	* ClassyCatBurglar: One of these is a villain; she appears to be the same age as Barbie and her friends [[spoiler:and turns out to be their classmate Patricia]].
16	* DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler:Agent Dunbar becomes a villain all because he didn't get the promotion he wanted.]]
17	* DoomsdayDevice: The burglar's hired to steal gems to power one of these.
18	* TheDragon: The cat burglar, who's eluded every other agent so far.

22	* LandmarkingTheHiddenBase: The spy agency's base is hidden beneath the Hollywood Sign.
23	* LeotardOfPower: As you would expect from a team of high school gymnasts.
24	* LighterAndSofter: Compared to other SpyFiction stories that tend to be about betrayal, among other things[[note]]Indeed, this one stresses the importance of teamwork, versus other stories that tend to have the main characters trusting no one (or in some cases very few).[[/note]]. Although the agency in this story does have a traitor: [[spoiler:Agent Dunbar]]
25	* MultinationalTeam: Barbie is American, Teresa is confirmed to be Latina and Renee is Japanese American.
26	* MythologyGag: The disguise selector contains many dresses and outfits from previous ''Barbie'' films, including [[WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheSecretDoor Alexa's colorful dress, Nori's fairy dress]], [[WesternAnimation/BarbieInPrincessPower Corrinne and Kara's dresses and superhero outfits]], and [[WesternAnimation/BarbieInTheNutcracker Clara's Nutcracker dress]].
27	* PassionateSportsGirl: Barbie and her friends are proud of being gymnasts and ''very'' good at it, which is what catches Zoe's eye.
28	* TheReveal: [[spoiler:Auntie Zoe has known all along Agent Dunbar was the one who hired the cat burglar. She was likely waiting for him to expose himself to the trio.]]
29	* ShipTease: Teresa & Lazlo
30	* ShockingVoiceIdentityReveal: Barbie, Teresa, and Renee are flabbergasted when the apparently American Auntie Zoe reveals herself to be a British secret agent.
31	-->'''Renee:''' Wait, back up. So... how long have you been ''British''?
32	* SpiritualSuccessor: The movie has many similarities to ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies''.
33	* SpyFiction: This is a more lighthearted take on the genre.
34	* TakeOverTheWorld: [[spoiler:At first, Agent Dunbar became a villain to exact revenge but, once he stopped to think about the power of the doomsday device he assembled, he had a change of mind.]]
35	* TeamPet: Percy and Violet, a robot dog and cat pair who help out the agents on their missions.
36	* ToylessToylineCharacter: Averted for the second time in the series; the cat burglar is the second Barbie villain (the first was [[WesternAnimation/BarbieAndTheSecretDoor Malucia]]) to get [[http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/barbie-movies/images/9/9d/Spy_Squad_Cat_Burglar_Doll_1.png her own doll]]. [[spoiler:Played straight with the ''real'' main villain, Agent Dunbar, who lacks a toy.]]
