===''Super Mario: Makai Teikoku no Megami''===
Sixty-five million years ago, a meteorite struck the planet [[Earth]]. This impact created a dimension parallel to Earth, that the dinosaurs inhabiting the planet teleported to Earth. Daisy's mother was one such dinosaur. As the two dimensions continued to coexist, the dinosaurs continued to evolve until reaching a human-like state.

Most Daisy's mother's life remains unknown. Some time after [[President Koopa|General Koopa]] began his takeover of [[Dinohatten]], Daisy's mother escapes to the human dimension and leaves her unhatched child, as well as a shard of the meteorite that struck millions of years previously, at the doorstep of St. Theresa's Cathedral. After she reaches the tunnel leading to Dinohatten, Daisy's mother encounters Koopa. Koopa grabs her and demands the meteorite shard, but she frees herself and knocks over one of the support beams to attack him, but this results in the cave collapsing on her.

Twenty years after the incident, Daisy and [[Luigi (film character)|Luigi]] arrive at the tunnel. Daisy shows Luigi the bones of a dinosaur that they found and notes the thumb-like bones that appear on the hands; the dinosaur skeleton is really that of Daisy's mother, though both are unaware of this.

As indicated by her parental relationship to Daisy, and marriage to the King, it can be inferred she was the queen of Dinohattan. Upon General Koopa's dictatorship overtaking of Dinohattan, the King was de-evolved into a fungus form, and the reign of the King and Queen was overthrown. Daisy's mother escaped from Dinohattan to Earth while carrying a pod which contained Daisy in an unhatched egg state and a smuggled meteorite piece.

After the narrated introductory sequence, the film's plot begins twenty years before the present day with Daisy's mother in Brooklyn, New York. She is shown running through the streets on a dark and stormy night carrying the pod that contains Daisy and the meteorite piece. She places the pod at the door of St. Theresa's Cathedral, knocks and then leaves. She begins her travel through the New York sewers to the portal that will transport her back to Dinohattan, but on her way she encounters Koopa, who grabs her and demands to know where the meteorite rock is, and in the scuffle between the duo, they manage to knock over a support beam.
