Oh, she’s definitely playable in all those games! I’ve personally only played the first Animaniacs game after I looked it up on my computer, and I’ve seen a bit of gameplay for Animaniacs: Game Pack! and a bit for Animaniacs: The Great Edgar Hunt. From the game summaries and what I’ve seen on YouTube, here’s what I’d envision for Maya in certain games:

1. Animaniacs (SEGA Genesis and SEGA, 1994)

Since each Warner has a special move to help with puzzles and enemies, I think that Maya’s would be similar to Dot’s stun attack—from a distance, she can stun enemies by taking a red bat from her hammerspace and throwing a ball at them. I forget if there are any breakable obstacles, but Maya’s attack could double as a projectile/distracting item, as well.

2. Animaniacs: Game Pack!

For Maya’s own mini arcade game, I’d like it to pay homage to I Love Lucy. Similar to Dot’s game, Maya’s having a dream where she is Lucy Ricardo and has been told that she can’t be in Ricky’s new show at the Tropicana. Maybe there could be 3 or 4 levels, and in each one, Maya has to sneak past/attack opponents to avoid getting caught. For each level, her disguises change until she reaches the end of the level, securing a spot in Ricky’s show and doing amazingly. If she gets caught, she gets lectured by Ricky and it’s game over.

3. Animaniacs: a Gigantic Adventure

Happy 2 years to my dear friend, @mugmanlivesmatter ‘s fanfic! Commercial Break!

I drew my favorite little cutie~ I love Maya Warner always and forever! 💕

Anyways, congrats buddy! I’m so happy for you! ✨Hope you’re having a great day!

I’ve always liked the idea of Maya having a slightly deeper voice or a sort of leveled Golden Hollywood-esque voice. Think of someone like a Bea Arthur or Judy Garland. I also wouldn’t mind someone like the wonderful Tress Macneille voicing Maya Warner, though it’d probably just sound like two Dot Warners on the screen 😂

I’ve always head-cannoned that Maya used to double for Dot in some episodes of the 90s Animaniacs show, as well as being more active in the reboot. Kind of like how TV shows usually try to find twins if one of them is tired/sick/in a bad mood. Macadamia Nut has to be one of my favorite parodies the show did, and I love the energy of the cast and all of Dot’s outfits in the skit. 🌼 💕

So, I asked the wonderful @thetimelimit if she could draw Maya doubling as Dot in one of the dance scenes in Macadamia Nut. Even though Maya can be just as silly and off the walls as her siblings, I also see her as a shy little gal who doesn’t perform well with all eyes on her and in front of so many cameras/crew people. It’s easy to bounce off her siblings’ energy when she’s acting alongside them, but by herself, she’ll sometimes shut down.

Based on actual events, teehee! 🤸🏾‍♀️ 🛼

@panicsketches made this picture of Maya a long while ago, and I hope it’s okay that I share it on this special day! What special day is it? Well…

Would you believe that this little girl has turned 8 years old today? Yes, on this very day, May 10, Mariella “Maya” Estelle Rue Warner came to life and made a home in my heart. I don’t think I’ve ever felt a stronger connection with such an amazing little lady as she, and it’s an absolute honor to have had her come even more alive with the help of @thetimelimit’s stunningly beautiful work when I first asked for a commission from her. I really love Maya because she’s more than just a drawing or another Warnersona to me; she’s the animated and cartoon-y part of me, an escape when reality gets too boring or too hard, and she’s kept me smiling, laughing, and loving for so long as she has fun with Yakko, Wakko, and Dot.

I hope that whenever you see Maya Warner that she brings a little extra sunshine, love, and sparkle into your life, as she has done with me for so, so long.
