SAVING AND LOADING
Once you exit a game, your progress is automatically saved to your mailbox. So when you play the game again, you can continue an existing game by clicking on your mailbox with your saved game, or click on a blank mailbox to begin a new visit to PONYVILLE.
WELCOME TO PONYVILLE™!
From choreographing new dances, to creating spectacular desserts together, to helping the ponies look their best, and decorating the grand halls of the castle, you will share lots of fun with your pony friends as you get ready for the ball.
You can roam freely through PONYVILLE™and interact with almost anyone or anything you see. You will encounter friends who are happy to see you and who might even need your help. When you help them, you are rewarded with more decorations for the ball. Enter TWINKLE TWIRL’S DANCE STUDIO™, COTTON CANDY CAFÉ™and the CELEBRATION SALON™to play one of the main activities. Once you have completed the activities, you can visit CELEBRATION CASTLE™to decorate the ballroom. When the castle is ready, it’s time to party!
GETTING STARTED
After installing the game, RAINBOW DASH™will appear and help get you started. RAINBOW DASH will stick around to help you throughout the game.
Signing In
Click on a mailbox to go to the mailbox design screen. On this screen you can add a name to the mailbox (up to 10 letters long), color your mailbox and add an animal on top. Just click on the letters, colors or animals to make them appear on your mailbox.
Pick a Pony
You have a choice of four ponies to play the game with: SUNNY DAZE™, SKY WISHES™, PINKIE PIE™or SPARKLEWORKS™. To select a pony, click on it. The pony will introduce herself. If you want to play with it, click on the Play button.

Once you have entered PONYVILLE, the home of all of your favorite MY LITTLE PONY friends, move the mouse cursor to the left or right side of the screen to travel around the area. You will notice five buttons along the bottom of the screen:

Click on the Back button to leave PONYVILLE.
Click on the Scrapbook button to view the pictures you’ve taken during the game. If the first page is full, click on the turning page to view the next set of pictures. Note: Each page holds 25 pictures. Once 100 pictures are stored, each new picture will replace the oldest picture in the scrapbook.
The Party Checklist shows all of the activities you must complete before you can begin the FRIENDSHIP BALL™activity. RAINBOW DASH will explain what you need to do when you click on any of the items on the checklist.
Click on the Camera button to “take a picture” of what is on the screen at that moment. A new screen appears with that picture in a frame, and four new buttons appear:
• Click on the Back button to exit to the previous screen (the picture will automatically save).
• Click on the Trash Can button to return to the previous screen without saving the picture that was just snapped.
• Click on the Send button to send the picture to one of your pony friends. After you select a pony to receive your picture, the picture will be saved to your scrapbook.
• Click on the Printer button to create a printout of the current picture. Note: You must have a printer installed and attached to your computer in order to print.
Clicking on the Pony Select button will bring you back to the Pick My Pony screen.
At this point you can either click on a new pony to choose a new one to play with, or hit the Back button to return to the game.
Exploring PONYVILLE
Once you complete the Sign-In process, you’ll find yourself in PONYVILLE in front of the cottage of the pony you selected. The selected pony will peek its head out the door and invite you to come inside. Next you will be inside of the Pony Cottage, where you will be told about the upcoming FRIENDSHIP BALL. You can stay and decorate the cottage, and try some of the printing activities. If you want to leave, just click on the Back button to return outside.
A path runs through PONYVILLE tracing a route around the CELEBRATION CASTLE. Along this path are all of the activities and interactive elements in PONYVILLE.
If you click on your pony, she will offer helpful suggestions as to what to do next.
Clickables
Many of the items around PONYVILLE react in response to your pony. Some creatures, such as birds and butterflies, fly away when startled. Other objects react when touched and blow away in the wind (such as flowers and leaves). Other objects grow and bloom. You can even turn on a pretty water fountain. To activate a clickable, just click on it!
In addition to the activities and clickables, there are hidden treasures scattered around PONYVILLE: Rainbow Berries, pony charms and bunches of flowers. If you click on these treasures, a pony will tell you what it is and where it should go. For example, she might say, “Great, a charm for our cottage!” The next time you enter the cottage, you will see the charm hanging on the charm tree.

Helping Hand Activities
Ponies you meet outside during your adventures are also preparing for the ball. They need your help to get ready. When you click on one of these ponies, she will ask you to find three items hidden somewhere in PONYVILLE.
THE PONY COTTAGE
Every new game starts at your pony’s house. The design of the bedspread, canopy, pillows and wallpaper can be customized to suit your taste. Just click on them to see the next option.
Hidden Treasure
Some of the objects that you can collect around PONYVILLE are displayed in the Pony Cottages. For example, a fruit bowl fills with Rainbow Berries as you collect them, and a vase fills with pretty flowers. A charm tree on the wall shows the charms you have found. There is even space to hang a kite (which you can build as a Helping Hand activity).

DECORATE CELEBRATION CASTLE
Once you finish everything on your Party Checklist, the castle gate opens and your pony can go inside. Oh no! It looks like, in the rush to get ready, nobody decorated the castle. It’s up to you to save the party!
At the top of the screen, you will see all of the decorations you can use. You can decorate the hall by changing the colors and patterns on various castle elements and adding your own party flourishes. Your decorations will sparkle gorgeously when hung in the hall.
Stickers
Click on the left and right arrows to scroll through all of the decorations.
When you click on lights, ribbons or streamers, they will stick to the cursor. Try decorating the pillars and walls with these items by clicking on them, dragging them to the area where you want to place them, and then clicking again to drop them into place. You can also place beautiful plants and festive fabric.
Placeable Objects
When you click on one of these objects in the menu (such as balloons, ice sculptures, flowers and banners), the object will stick to the cursor.
Click on them, drag them to the area where you want to place them, and then click again to drop them into place. When you put the item over a usable location, the background will glow to show that it can be placed there. You can pick up each dropped item and move it around if you want to.
If you drag an item back onto the menu, it stays there for you to use later.
