• Mariana the Mermaid also made an appearance in an episode of the spin-off show, Go, Diego, Go! entitled, Manatee's Mermaid Rescue!, as well as in the Dora and Friends episode, Magical Mermaid Adventure.
• Pablo is shown to have a one-sided crush on her.
• Her love for all sightseeings terrestrial and marine as well as new hair draws similarities with Lea from the 2010-2013 Polly Pocket web series.
• Her marine background and unwavering desire to break free from evil influences draws similarities with Aisha (Layla) from the Winx Club franchise.
• If this were to be a Magic Tool from Fairytale Land (alongside the Red Ring, the Magic Music Box, the Bag of Sunshine and the Magic Hairbrush), the Enchanted Pitcher (El Cántaro), brimming with water from Sparkling Lake, will be the tool held by Mariana.
• Like the other Explorer Girls, it is currently unknown what would happen to Mariana in the new Dora series.
