1* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: The Mane 6's subdued reaction to everyone being in greyscale could be due to uncertainty about whether or not it's actually abnormal; they've never been to Hope Hollow or even heard of it, so for all they know, it's always been like that and treating it as weird would be rude.
2* CaptainObviousReveal: So the solution to the problem all along is ThePowerOfFriendship. You don't say? Considering it's a surprising turn of events when the power of friendship ''doesn't'' solve such a problem, you'd really think it would be Twilight Sparkle's first resort.
3* FanficFuel: How Kerfuffle ended up with a prosthetic leg is never mentioned, as the other characters don't even seem to take notice of it, and there's no detail whatsoever as to how she got it. This has led to a wide array of theories among fans about what led to Kerfuffle losing a leg.
4* SpiritualSuccessor: ''Rainbow Roadtrip'' through its general LighterAndSofter plot, animation, and theme, is a ''G4'' special that strongly invokes the tone and style of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyG3'' rather than the parent ''Friendship Is Magic'' series. The plot is very simple and laid back SliceOfLife fare with minimal stakes or adventure elements and there's [[NoAntagonist no villain]] or even an antagonist involved in this special whatsoever.
5* StrangledByTheRedString: Sunny Skies and Petunia Petals seem to go right from ShipTease (albeit a really long one, starting prior to the events of the special) to the marriage proposal, with no relationship in between.
6* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome:
7** The visuals of Twilight's teleport spell benefit greatly from the new medium.
8** Every time there's a rainbow in the sky, via the Rainbow Generator or Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom, it's nothing short of breathtaking.
