!!This game provides examples of:
* AsianStoreOwner: Mrs. Tanaka. Apart from dye, what she's selling isn't made clear.
* ArtMajorPhysics: Because putting on a translucent/transparent suit would ''really'' make you absolutely invisible from top to bottom.
* {{Backtracking}}: Though often areas you've visited [[RemixedLevel will have changed, or some areas will be blocked off]].
* ButThouMust: The thief will always be suspiciously faster than you, and you must always let the thief get away.
* CampStraight: Mr. Johnson is hinted to be one of these.
* CoolPlane: Barbie and her team have their own very large and very pink private jet, which acts as their primary mode of transportation, [[PlayerHeadquarters as well as their secret headquarters]].
* CultureEqualsCostume: Averted in Brazil and France, but played straight just about everywhere else.
* EasingIntoTheAdventure: Unless you skip it, the start of the game is Barbie doing some Virtual Training before receiving the call from Theresa.
* EnemyDetectingRadar
* EquipmentResetButton: Barbie's inventory is changed each level so that she always has what she needs.
* FollowThePlottedLine
* FloatingPlatforms
* GadgetWatches: Barbie uses a watch to communicate with her friends back at base while she’s on a mission. When it’s not being used in this way, it functions as a minimap/GPS device. Also see SuperWristGadget below.
