In the [[Living Books]] computer games that are based on the books, Maria had a light yellow complexion and brown hair in ''[[Arthur's Teacher Trouble (game)|Arthur's Teacher Trouble]]''. When the player clicks on the poster behind her, the drawing comes to life and looks between Maria's ears. Clicking on Maria herself makes her say, "I thought I'd win," which is her only distinct speaking line to date. It is unknown exactly who voiced her, since the voice actors for minor characters were listed together with no distinction. | |||
A [[Arthur puzzles (Fortune East Group)#Arthur's Eyes|puzzle]] produced by [[Fortune East Group]] depicts Maria with a white complexion and blonde hair. | |||
