A handful of early stories involved the travel between different 'worlds', for lack of a better definition. ''My Little Pony: Rescue at Midnight Castle'' and similar plots featured the "human" world and "pony" world of Earth and Ponyland, though the connection or differences of these two worlds were often vague. Another 'world' depicted in the original series was the [[Land of Legends]], a location where figures of myth and literature such as [[Robin Hood]] and [[Hercules]] called home, which was located beyond a golden door. |

In [[1985]], the long running ''[[My Little Pony Comic]]'' began its publication, which followed a much different continuity than the cartoon, instead taking place on a completely fantastical world rather than the...confusing world the animated series took place on. Generally speaking, this continuity was more similar to the picture books released around the time. |

In [[2013]], ''[[My Little Pony: Equestria Girls]]'' introduced the concept of the multiverse formally into the franchise, which once again featured a 'human' world, but this time explicitly stated to be another universe. The following year, ''[[Reflections]]'' would flesh out this concept by telling a universe hopping story that focused on the mysterious [[Reflections universe|dark universe]]. The concept of the ''My Little Pony'' multiverse would appear several more times in the comics by [[IDW Publishing]] and [[Seven Seas Entertainment]], being a major element in the storylines of, ''[[My Little Pony: Legends of Magic]]'', ''[[My Little Pony: Nightmare Knights]]'', ''[[My Little Pony/Transformers]]'', ''[[My Little Pony: Generations]]'' and ''[[My Little Pony: The Manga]]''. |

The concept of the multiverse in the animation of ''My Little Pony'' has been rarer, but not unheard of. Aside from the existence of the ''[[Equestria Girls]]'' universe, "[[The Cutie Re-Mark]]" featured several splintered-off timelines thanks to [[Starlight Glimmer]]'s time travel shenanigans and ''[[Equestria Girls: Sunset Shimmer's Backstage Pass]]'' had a similar premise with Sunset stuck in a time-loop, altering it bit-by-bit, though it was never confirmed if these were alternate universes. |
