The Secret Spell" BGM from the episode "Equestria Games" of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" (S04E24). --Overall Comments-- It's finally here! After being formally introduced in the last regular episode of season 3 (mentioned the episode before that), we get the Equestria Games in the last regular episode of season 4! Preparations for the games have been one of the key arcs to this season, and so it's great to see that arc finally come to a conclusion! And while the majority of the episode focused on Spike, we still got to see a good portion of the games, including the conclusions of everything which the episodes this season were leading up to; The CMC introducing the Ponyville team ("Flight to the Finish"), and the Cloudsdale & Ponyville teams competing in the ariel relay ("Rainbow Falls"). Besides that, it was great Spike episode utilizing and developing his character well. Plus, we get to see the Crystal Empire again! Dave Polsky balances out and interweaves the two stories together nicely, and inserts some absolutely cringe-worthy and hilarious moments to boot! William Anderson's soundtrack to this episode was fantastic, reprising many of the Equestria Games and Crystal Empire themes, and a few others from season 4, while also introducing some new tracks specifically for the games. And of course we get the unexpected cringe-worthy but equally hilarious "Cloudsdale Anthem" as sung by Spike...who doesn't know the tune or lyrics. While Spike's made-up lyrics are hysterical (some of the funniest dialogue this season), the backing track is actually really great and fitting of an anthem for Cloudsdale. Definitely check out the instrumental track for this song! --Track Specific Comments-- Spike begins to believe he can produce fire with his mind, until Twilight lets him know that it was she that lit the torch with magic. This track begins with a reprise of the "Sisters" theme which was used throughout season 3's "Sleepless in Ponyville" as the CMC are congratulated by their sisters for a great performance. This was a great choice of BGM to reprise here, and of course it was fun to see some more Scootaloo/Rainbow Dash sisterly bonding. As Spike finds out the truth, the score turns very somber and emotional. (Watch in 1080p!)
