* [[Absentee Actor]]: The only main characters to appear are Rarity, Applejack, and Spike, plus two of the Cutie Mark Crusaders (Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom).

* [[Recycled Script]]: Intentionally or not, the episode's script bears a striking resemblance to the ''Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' episode "Oh, Brother!" in places.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Red Pony, Blue Pony]]: While [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E8 Look Before You Sleep|"Look Before You Sleep"]] already established the contrast between Applejack and Rarity, this episode shows that Sweetie Belle is the red to Rarity's blue.
