  • In the Wondercolts lineup, Sandalwood, Micro Chips, and Derpy are replaced by "Cecil", "Poindexter", and Trixie.

  • Dean Cadance does not appear to be certain that CHS won the Tricross Relay and also does not instruct all students to proceed to the gym.

Differences between the book and the specials
  • The events of all three specials are shuffled around to form one cohesive storyline.
  • The Crystal Prep girls only appear in the beginning of the book when Rarity signs up at the mall and are not seen or heard from again. As a result, the subplot about the Crystal Prep girls attempting to steal the Equestria Girls' video concept as their own is dropped.
  • Sugarcoat says that only three weeks have passed since the Friendship Games, while she says it has only been "a few months" in the special.
  • No mention is made of Dean Cadance becoming the principal of Crystal Prep.
  • The portal is still referred to as the Wondercolt statue, even though the statue was destroyed in Friendship Games, and has not been rebuilt since.
  • Sunset Shimmer is not present in the scene where Rarity presents her idea, since she is back in Equestria.
  • The scenes of Rarity presenting her idea and the girls coming up with music video concepts are combined into one scene.
  • Starlight Glimmer suggests to Rarity the concept of the music video instead of Rarity coming up with it on her own.
  • Starlight joins the girls in the Dance Magic video instead of Lemon Zest, Sour Sweet, Sugarcoat, and Sunny Flare.
  • In the novel, the Equestria Girls still have their cell phones on hand while on the set of the Daring Do movie. Sunset uses it to receive updates from Starlight, who is following traces of Equestrian magic. Rainbow Dash attempts to use her phone to contact the other girls while she's trapped in the storage closet but she does not have the signal. In the specials, their phones were all confiscated by security.
  • The nervous P.A. who mistakes the Equestria Girls for actresses is female instead of male.
  • Canter Zoom is also the director of the Power Ponies movie, instead of the generic director in the special.
  • When trapped in the net, Rarity uses her geode to help them escape.
  • Juniper Montage's usher uniform is only a pair of black pants and a white shirt with her name tag on it, with no mention of her crazy hat or her red blazer.
  • Juniper imitates the sound of radio static on her walkie-talkie by crinkling a piece of paper, rather than making "pssssh" sounds with her mouth.
  • The clerk at the sunglasses kiosk is also female instead of male.
  • The mirror makes the Equestria Girls disappear one by one instead of all at once.
  • Rather than merely attempting to grab the mirror from the Juniper monster's grasp, Starlight attempts to distract her by pretending to be a newspaper reporter wanting an exclusive interview with her.

Differences between the book and the special

  • Wallflower Blush is simply referred to as "Wallflower".
  • Some dialogue is trimmed and/or added.
  • Events from Queen of Clubs are added.
  • In the special, Trixie wants to be named the "Greatest and Powerfullest". In the novel, she uses the grammatically correct "Greatest and Most Powerful", so Sunset's line about "Powerfullest" not being a word is replaced by her claim that it is not a real Superlative.
  • At the beach, after touching Applejack, Sunset touches Rainbow to see her image disappearing from the relay at the Friendship Games, a scene only present in the extended version on YouTube.
  • Sunset's diary conversation with Princess Twilight takes place in Sunset's bedroom rather than on the beach.
  • Princess Twilight's reaction to the reveal of the restricted section of the Canterlot Library is a little less intense than depicted in the special.
  • There is a scene of Princess Celestia showing Sunset and Princess Twilight the broken-down library catalog machine, a scene only present in the extended version on YouTube.
  • In the novel, Sunset's response to Twilight asking about the trials of Clover the Clever make it clear that she is not really familiar. In the special, her response is a little more ambiguous.
  • After Trixie mentions pulling a rabbit out of a hat, a brief gag is added where she pulls Angel Bunny out of a hat, to the ire of Fluttershy.
  • A scene in which Trixie and Sunset interrogate Micro Chips is added, a scene only present in the extended version on YouTube.
    • In the scene in the special, Micro Chips offers a half-chewed carrot stick. In the novel, he offers creamed toast.
  • In the novel, after Trixie is insulted at Sunset's insistence of putting Wallflower's garden in the yearbook, Sunset indicates to Trixie that Wallflower is a lead.
  • In the special, Sunset simply runs in front of Flash Sentry's car. In the novel, she is nearly run over by the car.

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls: Make Your Own Magic: Starswirl Do-Over by Whitney Ralls was published February 5, 2019, bearing ISBN 978-0-316-41910-9.[21] It is a "You Choose the Ending!" adaptation of My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Sunset's Backstage Pass.[22][23]

Summary[]

For a more detailed summary, see My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Sunset's Backstage Pass.

"In this interactive book based on all-new Equestria Girls digital content, YOU control the ending!

All the Equestria Girls are excited to be at the Starswirl Music Festival, but no one is more excited to see PostCrush, the most amazing pop duo ever, than Sunset Shimmer and Pinkie Pie! The only problem is...Sunset Shimmer is trapped in a time loop! She keeps reliving day one of the festival over and over, and she hasn't been able to make the right decisions to get to the big show. Help Sunset Shimmer find a way to figure out what kind of Equestrian magic is behind this and make it to the PostCrush concert with her best friend so she doesn't stay stuck forever!"[21]

Differences between the book and the special
  • As a choose-your-own-adventure novel, the book has five alternate endings, each depending on the reader's choices:[24]
    • If Sunset attempts to break the loop by disrupting time, she tries various activities to keep herself awake, believing that awareness of the loop is the key. She ends up going on a date with a boy as part of a dare with Twilight, but just before they kiss, the loop flings her back in time to the day she and her friends are buying tickets to the festival.
    • If Sunset tries to escape the time loop by driving away from the festival, she gets a flat tire in every loop, caused by a random object lying in the middle of the road each time. She eventually gives up and resigns herself to her fate, repeating the festival endlessly until she has memorized every possible outcome and event. (This ending is partially adapted from a similar scene in the special.)
    • If Sunset sabotages the festival and gets it canceled, thinking that the time loop will end if she changes the day's events drastically enough, she inadvertently rips the fabric of space-time to the point where time around Sunset begins to loop on fast-forward.
    • If Sunset confronts PostCrush before making amends with Pinkie, she and K-Lo fight over the Time Twirler until they accidentally drop and break it before it can be deactivated, trapping the three in the time loop for eternity.
    • If Sunset joins PostCrush, they take a "commemorative" photo of her and use it in the next loop to frame her as a "crazy fan", kicking her out of the band and never letting her come near them again.
