Alpha Bitch: Talleigha Fishtail serves as one for this movie. She also keeps Sareena Seasquid in tow, although both are redeemed by the end of the movie when they work together with the others to save Pacifica. They also quickly accept Aquaryah as the power keeper, despite previously bullying her for being unable to become one.

The Call Put Me on Hold: 'Malibu' Barbie, despite almost always being The Ace in previous films, struggles to gain her mermaid powers, failing at every challenge that would activate them for her, while every other character managed to activate theirs with minimal effort. She is eventually able to unlock her Water powers with the assistance of Marlo.

 Barbie Mermaid Power / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: During the film's climax, Barbie is shown to have excellent communication with the sea creatures, and is even implied to understand them, which the characters are perplexed about because this is something only Water power mermaids can do. When her powers are finally revealed, she reveals herself to be a Water power mermaid.

World of Technicolor Hair
 Barbie Mermaid Power / int_9dbf9610
comment
World of Technicolor Hair: Mermaids in Pacifica have a diverse range of hair colors, with some characters having multiple colors. As well, when 'Malibu' Barbie and her friends transform into mermaids, their hair also becomes more colorful. However, changes in hair color when becoming a mermaid doesn't appear to be universal, as Marlo's hair remains red even in her mermaid form.

You Don't Look Like You
 Barbie Mermaid Power / int_a4e3759e
comment
You Don't Look Like You: Isla makes a return in this film, albeit with an inexplicably altered appearance. Her hair is now dark purple rather than the brown with a pink gradient that it was in Dolphin Magic. Her mermaid costume and tail are also no longer pink because they were changed to purple to match her hair, and her skin tone was altered from tanned to being much darker, giving her an Ambiguously Brown appearance. It's possible her appearance was changed due to her looking too similar to Teresa, who would debut as a recurring character in Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures, a series that takes place in the same continuity as this movie.

Cassandra Truth: Nobody took Marlo seriously when she tried to convince them that mermaids actually existed, resulting in them rejecting her research and cutting funding for her projects. 'Brooklyn' Barbie also initially didn't believe that mermaids existed when told by 'Malibu' Barbie.
