Ass Shove: The particular form of hammerspace that ponies use tends to involve reaching to near the base of their tails.
Ascended Meme: Rarity uses the term "Mane Six" in "Ponies of the Moment", a term used by the fans and some official materials, but never spoken onscreen during Friendship is Magic. The title card for "What Goes Updo" features Pinkie Pie and the hooves of her friends in a painting style. The title card for "Close Encounters of the Balloon Kind" features Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity as real life horses. Art Shift: In the title card for part 2 of "How Applejack Got Her Hat Back", Applejack is suddenly a real life horse. Their noses are a lot smaller, and they also gain realistic-looking hooves. Art Evolution: Pony Life has a different art style than the show it was based on, FIM. Even Twilight and Rarity, who can still use their magic for levitation, more often use their hooves to handle objects in this series. Anthropomorphic Shift: Although ponies in FiM did sometimes stand bipedally and inexplicably grasp things with their hooves, it's much more common for them to do so here. Anthropomorphic Food: In "I, Cookie", Pinkie makes cookies to keep her company in the absence of her friends, with frosting to make them look right on both sides, and it's a very magical world. Animesque: Definitely looks that way when compared to FIM (and it was already slightly animesque to begin with), with cutesy expressions and a chibi art style. Animate Inanimate Object: Disturbingly, has only been seen so far with food items. An Aesop: About half of episodes end in this, often very abruptly.

Alternate Continuity: As the series goes on it becomes pretty obvious the show isn't meant to tie in with the mainline G4 show outside of characters and is set in its own continuity.All Balloons Have Helium: To the point that characters who inflate themselves with their own breath float.Played straight by a newscaster pony named Karen. Aerith and Bob: Played With- the alternative ponies have the names Derek, Matt, and Matt, which they acknowledge are weird.Seemingly most of Friendship is Magic's secondary characters are gone.Flurry Heart, the daughter of Shining Armor and Princess Cadance doesn't appear at all despite her parents showing up in two seperate episodes.Princesses Celestia and Cadence have made major appearances in a couple episodes, but Luna, who had a huge role in Friendship is Magic's premiere episode, never did.Zecora's role in providing magical potions has been replaced with Potion Nova.However they are mentioned by Pinkie Pie in a flashback in "The Trail Less Trotten" where Pinkie says she was given ownership of the bakery by them. Cake who were the original owners of the Sugarcube Corner in Friendship is Magic are absent here as Pinkie Pie runs the Sugarcube Corner by herself. Here, he's closer to a slightly nicer but no less dangerous Mr.
Adaptational Personality Change: Discord, in this continuity, is still a Wild Card, but less of an antagonist and more of a Friendly Enemy / Sitcom Arch-Nemesis to the group than a true villain as he was in Friendship in Magic.
Adaptational Nice Guy: Discord the draconequus who was an antagonist in Friendship Is Magic is far nicer, but still a trickster nonetheless, with his Jerkass tendencies softened.Adaptational Comic Relief: Discord was quite scary at times in FIM, but here he's a plain ol' goofball, at least from his single appearance.
