'''Princess Daisy''', or casually '''Daisy''', is the princess of [[Sarasaland]] and a recurring character in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. An energetic and enthusiastic princess who can be slightly tomboyish, [[Mario]] once saved her and her kingdom from the rule of [[Tatanga]] in [[List of games by date#1989|1989]]'s ''[[Super Mario Land]]'' on the [[Game Boy]].<ref name=tomboy>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/dmg/mla/chara/index.html|title=登場キャラクター1|publisher=Nintendo|language=ja|accessdate=May 25, 2024}}</ref> Daisy would not make a major appearance again until ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'' on the [[Nintendo 64]] in [[List of games by date#2000|2000]], and has since made relatively frequent appearances in games of various genres. She is also [[Luigi]]'s love interest and [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s best friend. Her traits and abilities are often flower-based.


'''Princess Daisy''' (Japanese: デイジー姫, ''Deiji-Hime'') is the princess of [[Sarasaland]], who first appeared in the game ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. Although she is the ruler of Sarasaland, Daisy's current place of residence is in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Daisy is known to be a tomboy, and her special abilities often deal with flowers. She shares a friendly rivalry with her cousin{{refneeded}}, [[Princess Peach]], and is known to be in relationships with characters like Luigi and Mario.  
==Creation and development==
In ''Super Mario Land'', the developers wanted the game to take place in a new setting, far away from the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], and Daisy was created to fill the damsel-in-distress role.<ref>{{cite|url=www.ign.com/articles/2009/07/27/ign-presents-the-history-of-game-boy|author=Fahs, Travis|title=IGN Presents the History of Game Boy|date=July 27, 2009|publisher=IGN|accessdate=May 25, 2024}}</ref> Sarasaland was named after a type of floral design, and Daisy was created with a matching flower motif.<ref>{{file link|Year of Luigi Memorial Book profiles.jpg|''With LUIGI 30th Anniversary: The Year of LUIGI Memorial Book''}}</ref> Despite Daisy's role, she was prescribed a unique personality,<ref name=tomboy/> which has continued to be part of her defining traits in subsequent appearances.


Years after the release of ''Super Mario Land'' Daisy started appearing in more and more Mario games; this was due to the lack of [[human]] characters in the series. She now appears in the majority of Mario games; most regularly as a playable character. She was created by [[Gunpei Yokoi]], [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]'s mentor. Yokoi passed away eight years after her debut appearance, and three years before she appeared as a major character in another Mario game. It is possible that Daisy's re-debut into the Mario series was part of a tribute to his passing. Daisy has appeared in over thirty games, and has continued to for almost eight years straight and running.  
After an early hiatus in the 1990s, Daisy was reintroduced in ''Mario Tennis''. The planning department at [[Camelot Software Planning|Camelot]] wanted more characters with bodies better suited for the real-life sport than what most ''Mario'' characters provided, and they found Daisy to be a valuable addition when [[Nintendo]] suggested her. This was also after Nintendo turned down the game's assistant director, Yusuke Sugimoto, proposing a [[Wario]]-like version of [[Princess Peach|Peach]] because they thought it would not be cute.<ref>{{cite|archive=web.archive.org/web/20001209080900/http://www.camelot.co.jp/gimon/gimon13.html|deadlink=y|title=あなたのギモン その13|publisher=Nintendo|language=ja|accessdate=May 25, 2024}}</ref> Since then, Daisy has made regular appearances as a playable character in most of the ''Super Mario'' multiplayer games, including ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'', ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'', and ''Super Mario'' [[Genre#Sports_games|sports titles]].


==Biography==
After many of Daisy's appearances being limited to spinoff titles, she was made playable in the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series in the mobile title ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' with an [[Super Mario Run#Ver._3.0.4|update]], albeit only after beating World 30 in [[Remix 10]]. She was subsequently made playable in the console platformer ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', where she is available right from the start.
===The Invasion of Sarasaland===
[[Image:SMLDAISY.PNG|thumb|98px|left|Daisy in her debut.]]
During the events of ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', Sarasaland, a neighboring desert nation friendly to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], was invaded by the space invader [[Tatanga]]. His armies conquered the country, and Daisy, the leader of Sarasaland, was kidnapped by him. [[Mario]] attempted to rescue the princess and liberate Sarasaland. Mario had to travel through each kingdom of Sarasaland, fighting new enemies at the end of each one. Every time he defeated a level's [[Boss]], what appeared to be Daisy would thank the hero; however it turned out that common enemies were simply disguised as Daisy, forcing Mario to explore another kingdom. In the end Mario found the real Daisy being held captive by Tatanga. After a long battle in his plane, the [[Sky Pop]], Mario was able to defeat Tatanga and rescue Daisy. The game ends with Mario and Daisy flying away in the Sky Pop.


Although Daisy did not actually appear in the sequel, ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', the game revealed that [[Wario]] had, in fact, hired Tatanga to kidnap Princess Daisy in the previous game. Wario used Princess Daisy's kidnapping as bait to lure Mario to Sarasaland. This gave Wario the time to conquer [[Mario Land]] while Mario was distracted.
==History==
{{Main|History of Princess Daisy}}
Princess Daisy has made her first appearance in ''Super Mario Land'' as a damsel-in-distress. Despite her ''Super Mario'' debut, she rarely appeared in the core series. Like [[Waluigi]], she made most appearances as a playable character in ''Mario'' spin-offs.


===Minor Aid===
==General information==
For a period of time, Daisy was considered an obscure character in the Mario franchise. After being rescued from Tatanga, Daisy snagged a cameo as [[Luigi]]'s caddy in ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]''. Like Peach did for Mario, Daisy would send remarks to Luigi while golfing. While there were other female non-playable characters in the game, it is unknown whether or not they were intended to be either Daisy or Peach.

Daisy is a young<ref>{{cite|publisher=[[Shogakukan]]|date=2015|language=ja|title=''Super Mario Bros. Hyakka: Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook''|page=15}}</ref> woman with vivid blue eyes and deep orange hair.<ref>[[Media:Daisy_MP6_website.png|''Mario Party 6'' official website screen-shot. "Peach missed female companionship until this girl with the orange hair moved into the Mushroom Kingdom."]]</ref> She has an average height compared to other ''Super Mario'' characters, being shorter than Peach<ref>[[Media:PeachDaisySize.png|Size Chart]]</ref> but generally depicted as taller than Luigi except in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', and she is usually classified in the middle of weight classes in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. Her hairstyle is flipped with parted bangs, and it reaches past her shoulders in length. Her facial features include distinctive, round cheeks, a button nose, soft and natural lips, and large, round eyes with two thick, black lashes and long, curved eyebrows. Her lips vary from light rose to orange in color or having orange lipstick.


Afterwards, she appeared as a clerk in the game ''[[Mario is Missing]]''. Like other people Luigi spoke to throughout the game, Daisy provided Luigi with information about the area where the green plumber was, or information on the artifact Luigi was holding. This was mostly for educational purposes, as the game was intended for learning.
Daisy usually wears a yellow, floor-length dress similar to Peach's, but with white and orange accents. It has puffy sleeves with white, petal-shaped openings, a matching collar, orange panniers at the waist, and two rows of orange frills at the base; there is sometimes a white petticoat underneath. She wears short, white gloves with petal-shaped openings and heeled pumps varying from orange to vermillion in color. She wears round, viridian earrings with white, petal-shaped encasings and a matching, oval brooch. She also wears a gold crown with round gems that match her other jewelry on the front and back and round, red gems on the sides.
[[Image:PUNCHBOWSERKODAISY.PNG|thumb|140px|Daisy pounding Bowser.]]


===New Member of the Crew===
Daisy's appearance has been varied and revised over time. Especially throughout her early appearances, details of her design differed and varied until being set to a more common standard as of a redesign introduced with the release of ''Mario Party 4'' on the Nintendo GameCube in 2002.  
Daisy made her reappearance in the [[Marioverse]] about one decade after the release of ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]'' and ''[[Mario is Missing]]'', in the games ''[[Mario Tennis]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. Daisy has appeared in most ''Mario Tennis'' and ''Mario Party'' games since these first forays. In ''Mario Tennis'', Daisy competed as a Technical player, and was one of the few female competitors. Stated to be a tom-boy, Daisy sported a look very similar to that of her appearance in ''NES Open Tournament Golf''. The exceptions being her missing crown, and short-lived tan.  


In ''Mario Party 3'', these traits endured, but her tomboyish side was greatly emphasized, and she was notably confident in herself. Proving she was no longer a "damsel-in-distress", Daisy punched [[Bowser]] sending him soaring into the sky; simply because he was in her way. Her partner in battle mode was a [[Snifit]], whom had a large attack strength and defense. Daisy, like [[Waluigi]], was not playable in the story mode of the game; however, she appeared after the player completed the first five regular Duel Boards. When this occurred, Daisy buttered-up the [[Millennium Star]] into giving her the Beauty [[Star Stamp]]. The Millennium Star began to award her the Star Stamp, but the player contested the decision. The Millennium Star decided that the player and Daisy should duel on the [[Backtrack|Backtrack Board]] for the stamp. Once defeated, Daisy runs off while shouting, ''"Augh! I don't believe this! I've never lost--not even to my dad!"''; this is the only hint to another ruler of Sarasaland.
In Daisy's debut in ''Super Mario Land'' in 1989, her hair extends past her waist and covers her ears, and her crown is red with a single jewel on the front. The jewel of her crown has six petals and her earrings each have five. She has black eyes and jewels, and her floral collar is centered at the seam of the petals as opposed to the tip. Her dress has a white waistband and there is a white dollop pattern along the bottom of it. In-game, Daisy's sprite resembles a girl with long hair wearing a dress, using only two shades from the Game Boy's limited palette.


===Second Invitation===
In ''NES Open Tournament Golf'' in 1991, she is shown with blue eyes and jewels, as well as yellow slippers. Daisy and Peach wear miniskirts as opposed to their previous floor-length dresses, and they lack their crowns. They are also shown to be the same height and appear to be body-doubles in size and stature. In-game, Daisy's sprite appearance highly differs from her look in artwork; her hair is blond, her dress is blue, and some other physical details are also off-model.
In the [[Mario Party 4|fourth installment]] of the  ''Mario Party'' series, [[Toad]], [[Koopa Troopa]], [[Goomba]], [[Boo]] and [[Shy Guy]] all find the odd, mystical [[Party Cube]]. They then invite the whole Mario crew to another party. Daisy is seen arriving in front of Peach's castle with the others when the Party Cube explodes in front of their faces, revealing Toad and the others to inform them of the current events. Daisy agrees along with the rest of the crew, but [[Bowser]] enters to ruin things with his own board, hosted by [[Koopa Kid]].  


Throughout Story Mode, Daisy receives [[Daisy Room|her items]] as rewards for completing each board, and defeating the board's host in a mini-game. Upon completion of [[Bowser's Gnarly Party]] board, and the [[The Final Battle!|Final Battle Cube]], Bowser rewards Daisy with Bowser's Teapot, the final item for Daisy's Room.
In ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'' in 2000, Daisy was given a darker hair and skin color, being depicted with a notably deeper skin-tone than other characters in the game like Peach and [[Baby Mario]], as seen in the game's promotional and title screen art. She and some other characters have pale skin in-game, however. She still sports a miniskirt, common with Peach's appearances in sport games, but she lacks a crown despite Peach now wearing her own again. Instead of the previous slippers, Daisy and Peach wear matching orange sneakers with a yellow strap and white tube socks.
[[Image:MGTTDaisyflower.PNG|thumb|210px|Daisy getting a nice hit.]]


===Flower Power Revealed===
In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', Daisy is depicted with a long dress and a crown again for the first time since her debut. Artwork shows her crown to be pink instead of the original red, with an oval, yellow jewel on the front, encrusted in six white, floral petals; additionally, on the sides of her crown are round, blue jewels. Renders also depict her wearing orange heels, and with her earrings having five, white petals around them with blue jewels in the center that match the blue of her brooch. Her in-game model depicts the crown as red again, her heels a matching red, and the jewels of her earrings and brooch are more greenish than blue. The jewel on the front of her crown lacks the floral details, and her earrings have six petals instead of the previously standard five. Unlike in ''Mario Tennis'', her tan is retained in-game and on the promotional materials alike. This was also the first time Daisy was noticeably shorter than Peach, as they previously shared a body type, but now had completely unique models.<ref>[[Media:Peach Daisy side by side MP3.png|''Mario Party 3'' screenshot.]]</ref>
Daisy missed the chance to appear in ''[[Mario Golf]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], but she made her golf debut in the next installment, ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]''. Daisy was one of the strongest characters in the game. Surpassing power character [[Wario]], Daisy had almost as much strength behind her swing as [[Donkey Kong]]. If the player were to get a "Nice Shot!", Daisy's ball would soar through the air in a burst of flower petals. This meant that, ''Toadstool Tour'', was actually the first game in which Daisy used any sort of flower ability. This was also the first game to depict Daisy in her newly refined sports attire. In Doubles Mode, Daisy and Peach are automatic partners, something to be seen often in later games.


===Something of an Idol===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' on the Nintendo GameCube in 2001, most characters' appearances are derived from their looks on the Nintendo 64, and Daisy's is based on hers from ''Mario Party 3'' in particular. The only notable difference in her trophy is her jewels using multi-colored tones encompassing both the blue colors typical of her art and the green tones found on her in-game model, as well as additional magenta hues, depicting an overall iridescent appearance unique to this game and in line with its more realistic style. Princess Peach's alternate costume in this game takes on not just Daisy's color palette at the time, but also unique details of her costume like the floral motif and the dress's pattern, and it included some unique details like shoes matching her jewels instead of the then red or orange heels.
Daisy also missed quite a few of the past [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'']] titles. However, Daisy made her racing debut in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. Daisy was [[Princess Peach]]'s automatic partner, and they shared with one-another the best defensive special [[Items|item]] in the game, the [[Heart]]. Daisy appears as a middle-weight. Daisy also had a personal kart dedicated to her called the [[Bloom Coach]]; the kart being an [[unlockable]]. Daisy also had her own level in ''Double Dash'' called [[Daisy Cruiser]], which is the third course in the [[Flower Cup]]. Additionally, the Daisy Cruiser can be seen drifting in the ocean on the [[Peach Beach]] and [[Yoshi Circuit]] courses.


===Return of the Flower Power===
With the graphical changes from the Nintendo 64 to the Nintendo GameCube, starting with ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', Daisy's appearance changed further and established a more consistent design for her that has remained mostly unchanged compared to the shifting details from her initial appearances. These changes made some aspects of her appearance more similar to Peach's, like giving her a gold crown instead of a red or pink one, dress details like panniers and ruffles on the bottom that replaced the white waistband and dollop pattern, and reverting Daisy's skin to a lighter tone. Some more unique features were implemented, as well, like giving her shorter, more uniquely styled hair, making orange her primary color, establishing the unique body physique, as well as retaining the greener jewel color.
Daisy's next appearance in the ''[[Mario Tennis]]'' series, ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', re-introduced her Technical style of play. Unlike the first ''Mario Tennis'', Daisy no longer had her clumsy personality; it was replaced with her refined energetic style as seen in her tournament winning cut-scenes. Daisy's [[Offensive Power Shot]], called [[Wonder Flower]], would disorient opponents and knock them back if returned. Her [[Defensive Power Shot]], called [[Flowerbed Return]], allowed Daisy to fly over a growing flowerbed to return any reachable shots. This is one of the first games where she is shown to use her special flower abilities, the first being ''Mario Golf:Toadstool Tour''.  


===Pitching It===
For the most part, Daisy's appearance has not changed throughout the years since her last major redesign. There are instances where her hair may be a brighter or darker shade of orange, and her skin-tone sometimes has varied between a pale white and a light tan, but as of ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]'' in 2021, Daisy has consistently been depicted with a lightly tanned skin-tone, and Nintendo has been revising old renders to solidify this skin-tone as well as a more consistent, deeply hued and shaded color of orange hair.<ref>[[Super Mario Trading Card Collection]]</ref>
[[Image:DaisyBatting.PNG|left|220px|thumb|Instant replay of Daisy.]]
Daisy and the rest of the Mario crew made their first appearance on the baseball field in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. For the first time Daisy was a Balanced player, although she leaned more towards the Technique type. Daisy appeared in Challenge Mode as the Secondary Team Captain on Peach's team. Daisy shared good chemistry with both Peach and Luigi, while she shared bad chemistry with characters like [[Waluigi]] and [[Petey Piranha]]. This was also the first game that stated Daisy to be physically stronger than Peach, though she has had a higher level of strength in past games. Daisy's special pitch, called [[Flower Ball]], allowed her to throw a gust of flower petals, hiding the ball from any opponents. When at bat, the Flower Ball flies at a higher distance than normal, and like before is hidden by flower petals. In ''Challenge Mode'', Daisy was only able to use this move once the player had purchased the [[Pretty Flowers]] power-up. Daisy's special talents were the Quick Throw and Sliding Catch, and her strong points were pitching and batting.


[[Image:DaisyMP7.PNG|thumb|200px|Daisy participating in [[Deck Hands]].]]
====Alternate outfits====
===Vacation Interrupted===
[[File:Daisy_Artwork_-_Mario_&_Sonic_at_the_Olympic_Games.png|thumb|right|Daisy in her two-piece athletic uniform.|100px]]
Invited by [[Toadsworth]], Daisy and the others join-up to go on a [[Peach's Cruiser|luxury cruise]] around the world in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. However, Toadsworth did not invite Bowser. This makes Bowser furious, so he plans revenge. When the cruise ship arrives at its first destination, Daisy and the others realize that Bowser has turned their vacation paradise into a stress-filled madhouse. The goal is to gather stars, but each board requires one to do that in a different way.
In ''NES Open Tournament Golf'', she wears a sundress that is similar overall to her usual dress, although shorter, yellow ballet flats, and she lacked a crown. In-game, however, she was depicted having blonde hair and wearing a blue dress, presumably due to graphic limitations.


In Solo Mode, once Daisy defeats Bowser in the [[Bowser's Enchanted Inferno|Enchanted Inferno]], she leaves on Peach's Cruiser. Daisy is last shown waving good-bye to Bowser and her vaction. When Team Mode is selected, Daisy's automatic partner is Peach, and their team orb is the [[Flower Orb]].
For Daisy's official breakthrough into the ''Super Mario'' franchise overall in ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], Daisy wears a dress similar to the one she wore in ''NES Open Tournament Golf'', where the primary colors are amber yellow and the polka dots and linings are white. In addition, she wore orange shoes with white high socks to suits the sports theme properly. She also had an alternative color palette in Short Game mode, where her dress was lavender and indigo, while the shoes were colored indigo as well.


===Return to the Hand-Held===
When the GameCube ''Super Mario'' sports installments came around, her current sports attire started to make their debut appearance as well. Daisy's primary athletic wear is a two-piece uniform, which was first introduced in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''. It includes a sleeveless yellow top with her flower brooch, orange shorts, and tennis shoes with mid-height white socks. Daisy appears in this outfit more often than any other outfit, including her usual gown. She also has an athletic minidress, which was first introduced in ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''. It is a short yellow dress with two orange frills at the bottom resembling the ruffles on her usual gown. This outfit was first an unlockable alternative to her two-piece athletic uniform and was later used as her primary athletic wear in ''Mario Tennis Open'' and ''Mario Golf: World Tour''.
{{spoiler}}
Princess Daisy made a return to the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series in her inclusion in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as an [[unlockable]] player. This was Daisy's second hand held appearance since her debut to the Mario series in ''Super Mario Land''. Daisy was a light-weight character unlike in ''Double Dash'' where she appeared as a middle-weight. Daisy's three karts were: Standard DS, [[Power Flower (kart)|Power Flower]], and [[Light Dancer]]; the second two being unlockable. Like other secret characters, Daisy was not featured in any mission modes.
{{endspoiler}}


===Bend It Like Daisy===
In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]]'', she wears a new outfit similar to her regular athletic outfit; the top now has white accents on the sides and slightly bares her midriff, while the shorts are a bit darker and longer and come with yellow linings on the sides. This outfit receives some minor additions depending on the sport, such as a brown harness belt in the Sport Climbing and Archery events, or burnt orange knee-high socks in Football and Rugby Sevens.
Once again Daisy joined up with the Mario crew, this time to play soccer. Daisy was introduced to the ''[[Mario Strikers]]'' series in the first installment, ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]''. In this game, Daisy was an Offensive Captain, who wore the number "09" jersey and possessed the ability to perform the [[Super Strike]] called [[Torpedo Strike]]. The Torpedo Strike can be classified as flower power due to the original name, and the flowers that emit from its finish. Rather than appear in her formal sports attire, Daisy and the rest of the crew wore soccer jerseys.


===Dual Screen Daisy===
In ''Super Mario Strikers'', Daisy wears a two-piece soccer uniform that bares her midriff. Both the jersey and shorts are orange with emerald green linings on the sides. Also included are emerald green high tops with orange high socks. In ''Mario Strikers Charged'', she wears the same uniform, but with pieces of armor overlapping it due to the game's intensity. It is available in two colors: the first is orange while the alternate is emerald green. Daisy's soccer number can be found on the back of her chest-plate. Daisy appears in this outfit for her trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. In ''Mario Strikers: Battle League'', her soccer uniform no longer bares her midriff and now consists of a soccer jersey and shorts that can now be worn with or without armor.
[[Image:DaisyHoops.PNG|thumb|left|Daisy open for a pass.]]
Daisy made her second [[Nintendo DS]] appearance in ''[[Mario Hoops 3 on 3]]''. As she had been depicted before, Daisy was a Technical player. Daisy's [[Special Shot]] was the [[Flower Shot]], which let Daisy hover in mid-air to kick the ball into the hoop; the flower shot is activated by tapping a vertically flipped triangle. Unlcokable was a refined version of Daisy's original sports attire. Like previous sports titles, Daisy once again had her own stage, this time [[Daisy Garden]]; a garden where two [[Petey Piranha]] species characters replace normal basketball hoops. This made it difficult to dunk, but easy to shoot.  


Daisy also appeared in the Dragon Quest crossover game, ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'', which was a Japan only release. Daisy was a playable character, and her non-playable role had something to do with the [[Mario Stadium (Mario Superstar Baseball)|Mario Stadium]] from ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''.
In ''Mario Kart Wii'' and ''Mario Kart 8''/''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', Daisy wears a special biker suit when riding [[Bike|motorbikes]] instead of [[kart]]s, and also on [[ATV]]s in the latter two titles. Daisy's jumpsuit is white with yellow as a secondary color. It includes a yellow scarf and a yellow heart graphic on the back. It features yellow elbow-length gloves with white accents, similar to Princess Peach's regular gloves, matching knee-high yellow boots with white trims and soles, and a matching belt with a silver buckle. In ''Mario Kart 8'', the white on her jumpsuit is now a yellowish-white color.


===Crystal Queen===
In ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'', Daisy wears an outfit more suited for cold weather, consisting of a yellow mini-dress with long orange sleeves and orange leggings with vertical white stripes on both sides. She also wears white gloves and boots with yellow laces.
Daisy also appeared in ''Super Mario Strikers'' sequel, ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]''. Now qualified as a Defensive Captain, Daisy had a personal [[Super Ability]] and [[Mega Strike]]. Daisy's Super Ability was [[Crystal Smash!]], which covered the surrounding ground with orange crystals, blasting away anyone in range. In her Mega Strike, Daisy summoned a crystal gauntlet around her hand, and punched the ball towards the goal, this being one of the few times in the game where someone used their hands to make contact with the ball. In the games Striker Challenge Mode, Daisy faced up against both [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Waluigi]]. She battled Peach to take the Star Cup championship, and she took on Waluigi to see if she could get the Brick Wall award for an unprecedented fifth straight year.


===Beijing Medals & a False Invite===
In ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games'' and ''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games'', Daisy wears a yellow leotard with orange lining on either side that also functions as a swimsuit; she is seen wearing this for the Rhytmic Gymnastics and Aquatics events in these installments.
[[Image:Highjump.PNG|thumb|250px|Daisy performing in the high jump.]]
In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', Daisy appeared as, for the first time, a Speed character. Being well balanced for many event types, Daisy was a good choice for a variety of play. Not only did Daisy appear in the Wii version, but also the DS version. Although the game doesn't offer a selection of events most complementary to special techniques, there are events that use them. In her fencing special, Daisy's flower power propelled her forward, allowing her to jab rapidly. In her table tennis special, Daisy spun around with flower petals surrounding her paddle, and knocked the ball back covered in petals with increased speed.


Recently competing in Mario and Sonic's Olympics, Daisy then joined the compact capable crew in ''[[Mario Party DS]]''. Daisy was informed by Mario, along with the rest of the characters, that she had received an invitation to go to Bowser's castle. They all tentatively accepted the invite, but were trapped and shrunken down to size where they then started a friendly rivalry to see who would be the next super-star.
In ''Mario Golf: Super Rush'', Daisy wears a new outfit that suits the golfing theme more. This outfit consists of a yellow polo shirt, a white skirt with an orange belt and two flower badges attached to the left center. The footwear is similar to what she wore in ''Mario Tennis Aces'', although a set of spike cleats are attached to the soles, and she wears orange high socks with a yellow stripe at the near top. Daisy's hair appears to be reverted to titian brown, and her skin tone appears tanned.


===Brawl Doll===
[[File:Daisy SSBUltimate.png|thumb|Daisy in her ''Super Smash Bros.'' dress|220px]]
Although Daisy did not make a playable appearance in the game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', she did appear as a number of stickers, and her own trophy. Daisy's trophy, Strikers Daisy, is modeled after her ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' appearance, as it is said to "compliment her spunky scoring strikes". Her stickers use artworks from ''Mario Party 7'', ''Super Mario Strikers'', and ''Mario Superstar Baseball''. The ''Mario Party 7'' sticker, titled Peach & Daisy, is large in size and gives +27 attack to leg attacks. It is only usable by Peach and [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]. The ''Super Mario Strikers'' sticker is titled Daisy, it's size is medium, and it's area of effect is once again leg strikes giving an attack of +5, and being available for use by all characters. The ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' sticker is additionally titled Daisy, its size is small, area of effect is body, attribute is attack +9, and it is usable by Peach and Luigi. It should be noted that like other characters, Peach once again had a recolor that mimics the pallet design of Daisy's model. Also, in the randomizer for the players name, Daisy's name pops up by chance in all caps just as other miscellaneous character names do.
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Daisy's standard dress was modified to a greater level of detail. Her crown has embossed patterns added on its surface. Embroidered details have been added to her collar, sleeve openings, and gloves. Seams were added on her torso that segment it into sections. A detailed white centerpiece was added in her midsection. An additional skirt layer was added that is split down the center and tipped with a tatted, white frill. Detailed plant-like patterns were added to her gown in various locations, including some akin to her original dress pattern. The two ruffles on the bottom of her dress were raised to display a yellow opening. The orange ruffles themselves were also covered in greater levels of detail. Her heels were made a matching orange color to her dress accents, and the red crown jewels are much pinker. The petticoat sometimes seen beneath Daisy's gown is absent in place of a deeply shaded void. Her dress comes in eight different color palettes.


===Drivin' Miss Daisy===
In ''Mario Kart Tour'', Daisy is seen in alternative forms. In her Holiday Cheer form, Daisy wears a red coat with white trimmings and buttons. The build also features a red beret with holly leaves, and she has black leggings with white-and-red colored ankle boots, befitting the Christmas aspect of the London Tour. In her Fairy form, Daisy wears a yellow flower dress with green leaf straps, a belt of green leaves with pink and white flowers, a daisy wreath and yellow butterfly wings similar to common depictions of fairies. In her Yukata form, the yukata is colored orange with white streaks and scale designs, a blue sash, and a Cheep-Cheep mask. In her Swimwear form, Daisy wears a yellow and orange swimdress, with the frills resembling flower petals and orange shorts underneath, a yellow and orange striped thin hairbow and matching flip-flops, with buckles resembling her flower brooch. In her Farmer form, she wears an orange-yellow long-sleeve shirt with blue overalls, similar to Peach's in ''Super Mario Odyssey'', but instead of wearing a straw hat, she wears a headband similar to the one she wears in her Swimwear variant but without the stripes. In Her Thai Dress form, she wears a green and orange {{wp|sabai}}, a golden crown with a round red gem, and silver heels. In her Sailor form, she wears a white and orange sailor shirt and hat with orange shorts and golden buttons, as well as the same orange shoes that she usually wears with her athletic uniform in the ''Mario Sports'' games.

[[Image:LuigiDaisyStaue.PNG|thumb|300px|left|Fountain from the Daisy Circuit.]]
Daisy appears as a Medium-Sized [[unlockable]] character in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. Daisy is unlocked by winning the 150cc Special Cup. Daisy shares the Medium-Sized group of karts and bikes, but all in her own personal style. Like Peach and [[Rosalina]], Daisy swaps her dress for a new biker suit whenever driving in any of the bike vehicles. [[Baby Daisy]], the infant form of herself, makes her first appearance in the series as an unlockable character as well.  


Daisy's new course in the [[Star Cup]] called [[Daisy Circuit]], is her own seaside resort. Daisy Circuit is adorned with various flowery motifs, [[Daisy Cruiser|luxury cruise ships]], a hotel resort, and golden statues that top large fountains. Daisy, along with Mario, Luigi, and Peach, appear in the [[Block Plaza]] battle course as large statues on each of the surrounding block platforms. Daisy's flower emblem appears throughout the [[Dry Dry Ruins (course)|Dry Dry Ruins]] course. Daisy is the staff ghost character for the [[Coconut Mall]] and [[Daisy Circuit]] levels.
In ''[[Super Mario Bros Wonder]]'', Daisy is seen with several power-up forms. With a [[Fire Flower]], her dress turns white while the orange parts remain the same and her collar becomes orange. With a [[Drill Mushroom]], Daisy wears a drill hat, while the dress is colored onyx black with light grey stripes forming a spiral around it, similar to Peach's version of the same power-up, while the orange parts and white openings remain the same. With the [[Elephant Fruit]], Daisy turns into an orange elephant, her dress is largely the same as her regular dress except she has visible bloomers underneath. With a [[Bubble Flower]], Daisy's dress turns purple with the orange accents becoming yellow.

===The Future===
===Personality===
Daisy has been confirmed to be a playable character in the future release of ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''.
[[File:Mpsrart21.png|thumb|180px|left|Profile artwork of Daisy for ''Mario Party: Star Rush'']]
Daisy is portrayed as a tomboy with an extroverted personality and a tough demeanor. She can be described as spunky, energetic, loud, cheerful, and confident. In the song ''Save Me With Your Charm'', she was shown to speak with a British accent, although in later appearances, when speaking, she uses American slang and has a twang to her voice. She also has a sassy side, often regarded for her wittiness and attitude. Unlike Peach, Daisy is not as proper or poised as she would be based on her appearance and status as royalty; such as standing with her hands on her hips, exhibiting hotheadedness in defeat, and showing off in victory or to get her way. It has been suggested her choice of colors could reflect her personality,<ref>''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' Daisy (Tennis Outfit) trophy</ref> with orange being her favorite.<ref>''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' Baby Daisy trophy</ref> She likes to go shopping and dine at fine restaurants, but gladly passes up such enjoyments to train instead.


==Physical Description and Traits==
Daisy is also portrayed as a champion. In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', she seems to be an expert on skating sports; at the point, she was the only one who managed to beat [[Lakitu]]'s missions. In ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', she won the Brick Wall Award for four consecutive years, and five after beating her challenge. In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', she said that she had never lost before, not even with her father.
[[Image:MP6Daisy.PNG|thumb|230px|Daisy taking a photo.]]
===Current Depiction===
Daisy is portrayed as an orange-haired girl with blue eyes, wearing a floor length yellow and orange dress with wrist-length gloves. Daisy's dress has broad shoulders with white floral frills peering out of them. Daisy's collar is also a white floral frill, as well are the openings of her gloves. At Daisy's waist are two orange [[wikipedia:Pannier (clothing)|paniers]], used to accent the dresses frame. Daisy also wears turquoise, flower-shaped, jewels throughout her outfit. Included in the set is a set of earrings, a brooch, and flower jewels on her crown. Daisy's crown is golden with four jewels. The front and back jewels being the turquoise flowers followed throughout the rest of her outfit, and at each side is one round ruby jewel. At the bottom of the dress are two orange loops, which are another hoop apart in width, and dark orange dress shoes.


Daisy's hair is depicted anywhere in-between shades of brown and orange, though it has been stated she has orange hair. Daisy's hair style is parted down the middle, and consists of seven thick flips at the back-end. Two parted bangs are included, which have two small separated parts in the middle. At each edge of the fringe are two flips, and depending on the angle, two of the four are sometimes hidden. Daisy hairstyle also has short sideburns in front of her earrings. Unlike Peach, Daisy does not need to tie her hair up when participating in special activities.
Daisy has claimed to be clumsy. She fell off stage while receiving her trophy in ''Mario Tennis''. She needs help after becoming lost in the Remix 10 pipe in ''Super Mario Run'', and admits to being absentminded while waiting for her turn in ''Fortune Street''.


Daisy's skin is very light and fair in complexion. Being the lightest of many characters, Daisy's complexion is often seen as pallor next to those with darker skin tones. Daisy's eyebrows are of a light shade, and are thin as well as lengthy. Daisy's eyes are very large, as are her pupils. Daisy's eyes consist of two thick lashes, and like every other main [[Human]] Mario character, Daisy has a shade of blue eyes. Daisy's face is describable as round, with baby-faced cheeks, and a slightly square jaw-line.
Daisy will use her charms and tough temper to get what she wants. In ''Mario Party 3'', she flirts with the [[Millennium Star]] to get the Beauty Stamp, and she swats Bowser into the sky when he gets in her way.


Daisy is one of the taller main characters, being passed only by the larger scaled, such as [[Waluigi]] and [[Rosalina]]. Daisy and Peach appear to have similar measurements when it comes to their body compositions, but Daisy has been shown to be slightly shorter when closely compared. Regardless of her thin, feminine size, Daisy is portrayed to be the stronger of many characters.
In ''Super Mario Strikers'' and ''Mario Strikers Charged'', her personality is heightened. She celebrates scoring by showboating; throwing herself on the ground as she pumps her arms, brushing her shoulders off, and making a sizzling sound as she presses a finger to her backside. She responds to opponents scoring by trying to conceal her injuries, and she crosses her arms and taps her foot disapprovingly at her teammates, who cower in response to her wrath. In ''Mario Tennis Aces'', she largely has the same personality traits as before, although she does show some lack of confidence after witnessing Lucien's possessing Wario, Waluigi, and Luigi, even believing they may not even be able to beat Lucien due to its powers. She also showed some common sense, as she immediately suspected Toad knew more than he let on about Lucien and demanded he tell the truth, and later became disappointed in Wario and Waluigi for even considering getting Lucien again after Mario beat Bowcien, especially after what happened to them earlier.


===Athletic Wear===
In ''Fortune Street'', Daisy's personality is more heavily explored with the robust amount of dialogue among characters. She is shown to be impulsive and excitable, eager to take on big challenges and try new things; like scaling the [[Colossus]] and riding the flying train at the [[Observatory]]. She considers becoming a professional athlete when tasked to pick a new trade-in [[Alltrades Abbey]], and she repeatedly remarks on wanting to take home cute creatures like [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] and [[Slime]] to have as pets. Daisy is shown to be domineering and direct to others, teasing and bossing [[Luigi]] around when his shops are not large enough. She also talks down to enemies like [[Wario]], [[Waluigi]], and [[Bowser]], refusing to congratulate their success and criticizing their shops, believing they would commit foul play. The same game also shows she's not above pitching a fit or forcing others to pay up to allow her to get an expensive item at her request, based on some of her comments. She also implies that she has a bit of a ruthless side, as she makes clear that she's willing to "fight dirty" despite her status as a princess when warning others to not underestimate her. It is also hinted in her bio for ''Mario Party 3'' as well as her comments to Birdo that she is a bit vain regarding her appearance.
[[Image:MH3O3Art2.PNG|thumb|left|120px|Daisy holding the ball.]]
In Mario sports titles, Daisy is depicted in orange hot pants, a yellow sleeveless shirt, and the usual flower accessories. The hot pants include two yellow hoops at the bottom, and two yellow curved lines running from the side seams to the front waist. Also included are a pair of orange and yellow athletic shoes with two lace straps on each. Unless appearing in a ''Mario Party'' or ''Mario Kart'' game, Daisy will be depicted in this instead of her princess dress.


In ''Super Mario Strikers'', Daisy wears a 2-piece soccer outfit. It consisted of basic soccer gear, and was orange with turquoise accents. In the sequel, ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', Daisy appears in an outfit similar, but she now wears protective gear as well; this is due to the increased intensity of the game. Aside from the increased amount of protective gear, the outfit included numerous flower designs, and was available in two colors; this was due to the necessary change of colors when certain teams with similar team colors faced off. Daisy appears in this outfit for her [[Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' to show off her spunky nature.
Daisy's love for flowers is one of her most notable traits. In addition to having flower accessories/patterns on the majority of her outfits, her presents' room in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' notes Daisy likes to pick up flowers herself. In ''Fortune Street'', Daisy says she would like to be gifted a flower bouquet rather than being gifted a victory. In the story mode of ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'', Daisy is ecstatic to see the flowers a [[Chao]] took care of for her and proceeds to kick off a [[Kiki]] who wants to damage them. According to the ''[[Super Game Boy]]'' [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]], Daisy enjoys working in her castle's rose garden.<ref name=PrincessRose>{{cite|author=Hamm & Rudolf GmbH, Frankfurt|title=''Super Game Boy'' Player's Guide|page=16|quote=''''THE DARING RESCUE''' Princess Daisy lived happily in her dream castle, spending her days working in her rose garden. Things were quiet and she was content. Then one day, that terrible tyrant, Tatanga, burst into the princess’ happy garden and took her away to live in his dark and dreary kingdom. When Mario heard of this heinous act, he set off to rescue his longtime love. Now, he must survive the minions of Tatanga’s evil army to save his beloved from a rose-less life of despair. Of course, this is no easy mission. Tatanga rules four vast kingdoms. Mario will have to search them all, for no one knows exactly where Daisy is being held!|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1994}}</ref>


As bikes were a newly added feature to ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', each princess was depicted in a biker suit if riding on any of the bikes. Daisy's biker suit was primarily white and yellow, included her flower jewelry, along with a refined version of her floral gloves, and yellow biker boots. Also included in the outfit is a yellow scarf that rests to the side of her chest; the scarf is wrapped above her floral collar making it hard to see. A yellow heart with an orange outline is present on her back; the heart is hidden by her hair unless it is flowing up.
===Powers and abilities===
Overall, Daisy is usually an all-around or technique character in sports games. In ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', she is a Balance type player who leans more towards Technique, and in ''Mario Power Tennis'', she is a purely Technical player. ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'' was the first time Daisy was classified as a Speed player, but even then, her rounded technique still qualified her for a balanced range of event handicaps. Like other ''Super Mario'' characters, Daisy can [[punch]], [[kick]], [[jump]], [[Wall Jump|wall kick]], and [[Ground Pound|ground pound]], as well being able to [[Double Jump (airborne)|jump in midair]] in ''Super Mario Run''. She has also been occasionally shown to have a strong swing, having the longest non-star drive of any human player in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''. Daisy is also capable of using power-ups such as the [[Fire Flower]] among others, as shown for the first time in ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''.


==Powers and Abilities==
[[File:Daisydaisybat.png|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Daisy executing her "Flower Swing" in ''Mario Super Sluggers'']]
Often dealing with flower powers, Daisy's [[abilities]] are based on her large relations to flowers. Throughout her many appearances, most of her special abilities have used some sort of flower related effect. While Daisy is thin, she is known to be one of the few lighter Mario characters with a large amount of physical strength. Unlike most characters, Daisy's style of play changes depending on what activity she's participating in. Having been qualified in a larger amount of categories than any other character, Daisy's range of abilities can be summarized as all-around, with a certain change in each game that determines the ultimate style.  
Most of Daisy's [[abilities]] and powers use some sort of flower-related effect, either as a visual side-effect or an active part of the technique. These often take the form of making petals appear, ranging from her [[Flower Ball]] abilities in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', which use petals to obscure the ball from the opponents' view, to her offensive ''Mario Power Tennis'' move [[Wonder Flower (move)|Wonder Flower]], giving her hits special powers determined by the color of the petals surrounding her racket, to the simple visual flair they bring to her ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'' [[Flower Shot]]. In ''Mario Golf: World Tour'', one of her victory animations even features her changing from her tennis outfit into her standard appearance in a flurry of petals. In other games, she can summon entire flowers from the ground, such as a garden fence and a patch of daisies to block other players from catching the ball hit with her Flower Swing in ''Mario Super Sluggers'', or the bed of daisies appearing beneath her during her defensive ''Mario Power Tennis'' [[Flowerbed Return]].


===Special Abilities===
[[File:Daisy Torpedo Strike.png|150px|thumb|Daisy executing her "Torpedo Strike" in ''Super Mario Strikers'']]
In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', Daisy had the longest hit ratio for any human player, being out ranked only by powerhouses [[Bowser]] and [[Donkey Kong]]. In ''Mario Party 7'', Daisy was able to show off her love for flowers, as her special team orb was the [[Flower Orb]]. In ''Mario Power Tennis'', Daisy was a technical player who had two special moves. The first was called [[Wonder Flower]], which is an offensive power shot where Daisy summons huge petals around her racket. The other is called [[Flowerbed Return]], which is a defensive power shot where Daisy literally flies above the ground where a bed of daisies appear under her until she reaches the ball. In ''[[Mario Hoops 3 on 3]]'' Daisy is once again a technical player. She used flower powers in her special move, the [[Flower Shot]]. The Flower Shot works by Daisy summoning a barrage of petals around herself which seem to lift her into the air where she then kicks the ball into the hoop.
In ''Super Mario Strikers'', Daisy is an offensive team captain. Her Super Strike is called the [[Super Strike#Princess Daisy - Torpedo Strike|Torpedo Strike]], and once more involves flower visuals behind her. However, in the sequel, ''Mario Strikers Charged'', Daisy is a defensive team captain instead and is uniquely associated with crystal summoning abilities, having them erupt from the playing field for her [[Crystal Smash!]] [[Super Ability]], and encasing her fist in them to punch the ball towards the goal during her Crystallized Daisy [[Mega Strike]].


In ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' she was a balanced player who leaned towards technique instead of being a technical player who leaned towards balance. She could easily hit a home run if the timing was right or if the placement was well done. Daisy's special pitch and swing in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' are both known as the [[Flower Ball]]. This technique uses flower petals to hide the ball from any opponents' eyes, giving Daisy an almost guaranteed hit or strike.[[Image:Specialability.PNG|thumb|250px|right|Daisy using her special ability, [[Crystal Smash!]]]]
In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', she was shown to have enough physical strength to effortlessly send Bowser flying into the sky with a single slap.
{{br|left}}


In ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'' Daisy was an offensive captain.  Daisy's Super Strike was called the [[Torpedo Strike]]. In this Super Strike, Daisy launches the ball at the goal, and images of daisies fly all about. In ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' Daisy showed a new form of powers other than her usual flower abilities. She used the ability of summoning huge orange crystals from the ground. She is also capable of teleporting; the distance depends on how charged the ball is. Depending on how charged the ball is, Daisy can teleport a long distance by doing a spin in smoke. After the spin she re-appears a certain amount of length away in any direction.
===Relationships===
====Friends====
[[File:Luigi_Daisy_NES.png|thumb|upright=0.85|left|Daisy and Luigi in ''NES Open Tournament Golf'']]
One of Daisy's closest relations is with [[Luigi]]. In ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]'', Daisy is seen as Luigi's {{wp|caddie}} and ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' shows Luigi and Daisy golfing alongside Peach and Mario. In her ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' victory scene, Daisy says, "Hey, sweetie!" to Luigi, and he gawks at her skating prowess. Also, in the ''[[Mario Baseball (series)|Mario Baseball]]'' series, Luigi and Daisy share good chemistry. One of the most known references to their relationship occurs in ''Mario Kart Wii'', where there is a giant, golden statue on Daisy Circuit that shows the two holding hands and dancing together, along with another of them [[Baby Luigi|as]] [[Baby Daisy|babies]]. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Daisy's trophy states: "''After her appearance in Mario Golf, some gossips started portraying her as Luigi's answer to Mario's Peach"''. Their team names from the Mario Party series include, "Steady Sweeties" and "Tango Tanglers". In ''[[Fortune Street]]'', Daisy expresses disappointment upon landing on his cheap shop, telling him that "[he] could make this shop so much bigger!" Daisy and Luigi are seen walking together in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'''s opening cutscene. The official ''Mario Party 4'' guide states that Luigi has a crush on Daisy.{{page needed}} In ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', Daisy is shown to be worried for Luigi when he disappears with [[Wario]] and [[Waluigi]] after being corrupted by [[Lucien]], telling Mario to "[p]lease... just bring Luigi back safely!"


In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' Daisy is for the first time, a [[Speed]] character. Her usual above-average strength is not at all present and she happens to be a complete athletic powerhouse. Although she is a Speed character her rounded technique still qualifies her for a balanced range of event handicaps. In certain game types where it is available, Daisy can use some of her flower powers to do various things such as spike the ping-pong ball, do a rapid combo attack in fencing, and more.
[[File:SMRL-Line-Peach-Daisy.gif|thumb|upright=0.85|[[LINE]] sticker of Peach and Daisy]]
[[Princess Peach|Peach]] is Daisy's other closest friend. Daisy is often partnered with Peach by default in spin-off installments for the ''Super Mario'' franchise. The two share a team orb, the [[Flower Orb]], in ''Mario Party 7'' and share a team item, the [[Heart (item)|Heart]], in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''. Daisy and Peach share good chemistry in the ''Mario Baseball'' series, and Daisy is also on Peach's team in the Challenge Mode of ''Mario Super Sluggers''. In ''Fortune Street'', Daisy is encouraging Peach when she's going to win, saying, "I'm lovin' the girl power, Peach! Win this one for the ladies!" ''Mario Power Tennis''{{'}}s website says that Daisy is Peach's "sister in arms". Her bio from the Wii U version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Wii U)|Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]'' says she makes plans to go shopping with Peach in her downtime. In the [[Prima Games|Prima]] guides for ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and ''Mario Kart Wii'', Daisy is stated to be Peach's cousin,<ref>{{cite|quote="Hi, I'm Daisy!" Peach's cousin has always been louder, and less proper, but she's always thanked Mario, and her best friend, Luigi, for rescuing her from Tatanga the Mysterious Spaceman.

Before her official return in ''Mario Tennis'' and by extension, the start of Peach and Daisy's friendship, a 4-Koma segment of the manga ''Super Mario Kun'' depicted Daisy as being a rival of Peach, with the latter being jealous enough of Mario giving Daisy constant attention that she threw a mushroom at him in frustration.


===Standard Abilities===
Daisy and [[Mario]] are also shown to be on friendly terms. Early supplemental material for ''[[Super Mario Land]]'' such as the ''[[Super Game Boy]]'' [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]] indicates that Mario once had romantic feelings for Daisy,<ref name=PrincessRose/> while the [[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|Kodansha manga]] depicts Daisy and Peach as longtime love rivals infatuated with Mario; however, outside of a heart that appears between them after Mario rescues Daisy from Tatanga, Mario and Daisy have not even shown any particularly friendly interactions in subsequent games until ''Mario Tennis Aces''. In ''Mario Party 6'', Mario and Daisy are given the team name "Nice Couple" when paired together, while they have neutral player chemistry in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' or its [[Mario Super Sluggers|sequel]]. In ''Mario Tennis Aces'', she offered to come with Mario to help him save Luigi and also was the first to tell them about the flier. Also, she made clear that Mario defeated Lucien anyway, despite the racket's fearsome powers when reminding Waluigi and Wario about how the greedy duo caused disaster from the last time they tried to obtain Lucien.
Daisy has been shown in promotional art using various items from various games. It should be noted that Daisy has had three different pieces of art where she is holding a baseball bat: one from ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', another from ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', and finally in her ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' piece. She has also been shown using a soccer ball in various promotional art. Other items she has been seen using are a butterfly net, a [[Chain Chomp]] whistle, and a camera. Like other Mario characters, Daisy can [[punch]], [[kick]], [[jump]], and even [[Ground Pound|ground pound]].


==Personality==
[[Birdo]] appears to be a good friend of Daisy. In ''Fortune Street'' Daisy shares a friendly joke with Birdo when the latter is close to victory or Daisy swaps shops with her: "I'd give you a blue ribbon for first place, Birdo, but somehow I think you'd prefer a pink ribbon! Hee hee!". They show good chemistry in ''Super Mario Sluggers'', and in ''Mario Party 8'' their team name is "Gallopin' Gal Pals". In ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'', Birdo is Daisy's Doubles Partner. She also was seen partnering up with [[Rosalina]] for the tennis bout in ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'', hinting at good ties between them. [[Toadette]] also appears to be in good terms with Daisy. In ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', they are seen having a conversation while waiting for Prince Florian to show up. Later on when Bowser merges with the Flower Castle, causing a sequence of tremors, Daisy stops Toadette from falling over.
[[Image:ItadakiDaisy.PNG|thumb|160px|left|Daisy in a fresh pose.]]
When it comes down to it, Daisy can be defined best as a tomboy. It has been said that Daisy is always full of energy, and it's evident due to her cheerful nature. Her team name when partnered with [[Boo]] in Mario Party 8 happens to be "High Spirited Duo"; obviously basing it off the fact Boo is a spirit and that Daisy is full of spirit. Words and phrases used to describe Daisy include: Tomboy, cheerful, full of energy, bright, lively, unique, upbeat, go-getter, witty, a breath of fresh air.


In each of the game's she appears in she is widely acknowledged as a tomboy or "less feminine" than her royal pal, [[Princess Peach]]. As such, Daisy is not "dainty" or "fragile" compared to what one might think from her appearance. She also has a huge competitive drive, though it's apparent she knows it's all in good fun. Daisy can tend to speak in a more common contemporary vernacular than other characters; the prime example of this being her ways of speaking in a slang tone of voice.  
Daisy is also shown to be great friends with [[Amy|Amy Rose]] and [[Blaze|Blaze the Cat]] from the ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' franchise. She and Peach are seen next to them in the opening of ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'' with she and Blaze bonding in Ultimate Figure Skating. In ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games'', she and Amy are often seen hanging out together as close friends.


In ''Mario Tennis'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], she was depicted as being a bit clumsy. This was shown in her tournament victory cut-scene where she starts thanking everyone, and suddenly trips off the stage with her trophy. Additionally, in ''Mario Party 3'', Daisy revealed her seductive side by showing off her good looks, and flirting with the [[Millennium Star]] to get a free badge. Simply by doing a twirl the Millennium Star basically fell in love with her, and was willing to give the beauty badge to her right away.
====Enemies====
[[File:MP4 Waluigi awestruck.png|thumb|upright=1.1|Daisy and Waluigi in the ''Mario Party 4'' opening]]
Daisy and [[Waluigi]] have been portrayed as having a bad relationship, with several games depicting Daisy's interactions with Waluigi as negative. In the official ''Mario Party 4'' guide, it says that Waluigi has a crush on Daisy, and their team name in ''Mario Party 5'' and ''Mario Party 6'' is "Awkward Date". In the ''Mario Baseball'' series, Daisy and Waluigi have bad chemistry. In ''Mario Strikers Charged'', Waluigi is her opponent in Challenges mode. In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', Waluigi is Daisy's rival when playing in the Grand Prix. In ''Fortune Street'', Daisy seems to think lowly of Waluigi. If she lands on one of Waluigi's low-priced shops, she says that the shop is disappointing, and she is not surprised that the shop belongs to him,<ref>{{cite|quote=What a disappointing little shop! But I shouldn't be surprised. After all, it's yours, Waluigi|author=Daisy to Waluigi|title=''Fortune Street''}}</ref> while when she lands on an average shop, she asks why she needs to stop here and she feels disgusted.<ref>{{cite|quote=Why did I have to stop here? Not only is it overpriced, it's run by Waluigi! Icky icky ew!|author=Daisy|title=''Fortune Street''}}</ref> In ''Mario Tennis Aces'', she felt that Waluigi and Wario were more suspicious than usual,<ref>{{cite|quote=I have a bad feeling about this. Wario and Waluigi were even more suspicious than usual.|author=Daisy|title=''Mario Tennis Aces''}}</ref> and also condemned them when they implied wanting to use Lucien again so they would become strong tennis players, especially when Mario already defeated Lucien, despite its ferocious abilities anyway.<ref>{{cite|quote=Haven't you learned anything?! Didn't you see that Mario beat Lucien anyway, despite its terrible power?|author=Daisy to Wario and Waluigi|title=''Mario Tennis Aces''}}</ref>


Daisy has been said to be cute and something of an idol in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''. In ''Mario Party DS'' Daisy is described as someone with spunk and sass. In ''Mario Strikers Charged'', her general attitude takes her tomboy personality to a new high, as her competitive drive is pushed much further compared to normal. In ''Mario Kart Wii'', Daisy is said to leave any friendships she has at the starting line; this is obvious as in the middle of racing Daisy tends to mock other players. Daisy can be summarized as an energetic, friendly, and fun loving girl who can, so to speak, "hang with the guys."
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', [[Wendy O. Koopa]]'s trophy states that she sees Peach and Daisy as her rivals. In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]'', Wendy calls Daisy a "poser" as well as "lame". In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Wendy has Daisy as one of her rivals.


==Interactions with Other Characters==
Daisy, like anyone affiliated with Mario, has an antagonistic relationship with Bowser. With a surprising amount of strength, she smacks the Koopa King into the sky in ''Mario Party 3'', and refers to him as a misfit in ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'' after he and [[Dr. Eggman]] are defeated in the Adventure Tours mode. She also has bad chemistry with Bowser in the ''Mario baseball'' series. In the final cinematic of ''Mario Super Sluggers'', Daisy escorted Bowser and his son Bowser Jr. to the Daisy Cruiser during the night, showing she can be civil with him on occasions. In ''Fortune Street'', Daisy sees no threat or significance in Bowser.<ref>{{cite|quote=I bet Bowser seriously thinks this goofy castle is totally intimidating. As if!|author=Daisy|title=''Fortune Street''}}</ref> If Bowser is about to win the game, Daisy says she refuses to congratulate Bowser "no matter how awesome he did". Bowser, likewise, denigrates Daisy's efforts, seeing her as lower than Peach in ''Fortune Street''. In ''Mario Tennis Aces'', she indicates that one of the biggest reasons she loathes Bowser is because of his willingness to cause conflicts or even worsen them just to settle his arch-rivalry with Mario, especially when Bowser tries empowering himself by stealing Lucien and the Power Stones while she, Peach, and Mario were dealing with the possessed Wario, Waluigi, and Luigi. After witnessing Lucien possess them, as well as learning its possible origin, she was shown to be very disturbed by the racket and was somewhat shaken even after its ultimate destruction. Despite this, ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'' has her look visibly frightened of Bowser's presence if she lands on a [[Bowser Space]].
===Tatanga===
{{main|Tatanga}}


Tatanga was the main antagonist of ''Super Mario Land'', where he was hired by [[Wario]] to brain-wash all of Sarasaland to distract [[Mario]] (so Wario could take over [[Mario's Castle]]). Tatanga attempted to bewed Daisy in the middle of the take over, and Daisy objected the proposal. In the American and Japanese comics, Daisy's relationship with Tatanga was equal to the relationship between Peach and Bowser, not mutual. Although Tatanga has yet to be seen in any game since, the alien has still been mentioned in later texts involving Daisy.
Daisy and [[Petey Piranha]] have negative chemistry in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', though this is no longer the case in its sequel, while multiple specimens live in her garden in both ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'' and ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', suggesting that they had a change of heart.

==Profiles and statistics==
{{main|Mario}}
{{main|List of Princess Daisy profiles and statistics}}
Daisy was introduced in ''Super Mario Land'' as a "tomboyish, full-of-spirit princess", and most subsequent bios characterize her similarly, commenting on her cheerfulness, spunk, and energy. Luigi's crush on her is sometimes mentioned, often with hints that she reciprocates. Stats-wise, she is usually a Technique or Balanced sports player, with a Medium weight in most ''Mario Kart'' titles.


Daisy was rescued by Mario from the clutches of Tatanga in Super Mario Land, and she rewarded him with a kiss upon her rescue. Mario has never explicitly expressed an interest in her, nor has Daisy to him. In Mario Party 5, Mario and Daisy are given the team name "Nice Couple" when paired together, while they do not share player chemistry at all in Mario Superstar Baseball. Regardless, Daisy and Mario have been officially stated to be good friends.

Daisy and Peach have been portrayed to be good friends since Daisy's big comeback  appearance in ''Mario Tennis'' for the Nintendo 64. Soon after in Mario Tennis (GBC), Daisy is commonly alongside Peach in any cut-scenes. If something involves partners in the Mario spin-offs, the two will usually be a team. Daisy and Peach share a team orb, the flower orb, in ''Mario Party 7'', share a team item, the [[Heart]], in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', and are automatic partners in a vast amount of other games as well.

While Daisy and Peach are good friends, they are often rivaled against each other in games like ''Super Mario Strikers'', where the two face-off in the intro, and in ''Mario Strikers Charged'', where the two go up against each other in Challenge Mode. Like Luigi, the two share good chemistry in the game Mario Superstar Baseball, and she appears as the second member of Peach's team in story mode.  Nintendo's Mario Power Tennis Website says that Daisy is Peach's "sister in arms", a term used to describe a close friendship as Daisy and Peach are not literally sisters. It has been stated however, that Daisy and Peach are cousins.
|''[[Super Mario Land]]''
 
|Non-playable character
In the Super Mario manga series, when Daisy is introduced to Peach, Peach mistakes a wink from Daisy to Mario as a way of showing affection. Peach confronts Daisy, and they get into an argument which is what sparks the start of their rivalry in the manga; this ultimately leads to their lasting friendship.

[[Image:DaisyTrophy.png|thumb|left|200px|Daisy receiving her trophy.]]
|March 30, 1991
As previously noted, one of Daisy's only appearances between ''Super Mario Land'' and ''Mario Tennis'' was in ''NES Open Tournament Golf'', where she caddied for Luigi just as Peach did for Mario; this would be Luigi's first documented interaction with Daisy. Soon after, Daisy acted as a clerk in ''Mario is Missing'', where she would give specific information to Luigi. After appearing as an optional automatic partner for Daisy in ''Mario Tennis'', Luigi and Daisy have been portrayed as a couple on numerous occasions. Such as in ''Mario Golf Toadstool Tour'', where they are seen golfing alongside Peach and Mario. Some of their team names from the Mario Party series include: "Steady Sweeties", "Tango Tanglers", and "Shy Sidekicks". Perhaps the most telling occurrence was in ''Mario Power Tennis'', wherein Daisy says to Luigi, "Hey, sweety! I'll take that", while receiving her trophy from Luigi. Also, in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', Luigi and Daisy are "buddy players", and they share good chemistry. Most recently, in ''Mario Kart Wii'', there is a giant statue on the Daisy Circuit that shows the two holding hands and dancing together. Nintendo's only official word on this matter came in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', where Daisy's trophy biography states, "After her appearance in ''Mario Golf'', some gossips started portraying her as Luigi's answer to Mario's Peach".

Luigi and Daisy also appear together commonly in the [[Miracle Book]] pages from ''Mario Party 6''. Most often in a situation where something bad happens to Luigi, but Daisy is left unharmed. Examples of this include the page Amp Attack, where  Luigi and Daisy are playing [[Circuit Maximus]], and are wondering what the three black spheres are. The player can press A to make them turn around, which reveals that the spheres are Amps which then electrocute Luigi. On another page titled It Came from the Deep, Daisy and Luigi are fishing for treasure in [[Treasure Trawlers]]. If the player  presses A, Daisy gets a treasure chest while Luigi catches the tentacle of a Blooper.

They share team names from Mario Party such as: "Awkward Date", "Double Facers", and "Skinny Stars".

Examples include team names from Mario Party such as: Gallopin' Gal-Pals, Shopping Buddies, Tomboy Trouble, and more.

|-
===Early Design===
|''[[Mario Party 3]]''
When Daisy first appeared in the [[Marioverse]], she had long orange hair, a flower motif to her yellow and white dress, a pale skin tone, and a rose colored crown. This outfit also included accessories such as a blue flower brooch, blue flower earrings, and even blue flower jewels on her crown. The daisy-motif has only changed once since; a green color was added instead of the original blue. In ''Mario Tennis'' for the ''Nintendo 64'', her appearance was refined; giving her a rounder face, a tanned skin tone, and a more brunette hair coloring. It should be noted however, that while any artwork depicts Daisy with tanned skin, in-game she has a regular, un-tanned, skin tone. In her next video game appearance, the new motif had remained; although she was no longer wearing sports clothes, and she now had her original rose crown.
|Playable character (Party Mode)
 
|December 7, 2000
===Cultural Relevance===
|Nintendo 64
Those two games were actually the only appearances Daisy had tanned skin in. This change and the next one may have had something to do with the fads of Japanese culture. As it was in the late nineties that a fad in Japan referred to as [[wikipedia:Ganguro|ganguro]] was a popular trend. With her introduction to ''Mario Party 4'', Daisy's character design was altered yet again; she was given shorter (yet still long) hair, a new yellow and orange dress design, a golden crown, and her original skin tone. This change may have something to do with the fad of [[wikipedia:Cuteness in Japanese culture|kawaii]], which has to do with cute like characters in media. Considering Daisy's doll-like appearance, this may be why the change from her tanned skin ganguro style switched to the kawaii style of the twenty-first century. Over time, Daisy's ''Mario Party 4'' appearance has slightly changed, but not as much as the first drastic update. Although this is so, her refined appearance now remains constant.

|''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''
===Sports Attire===
|Cameo (trophy)
In Daisy's appearances for ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]'' and ''[[Mario Tennis]]'' she appeared in her first sports attire. Unlike in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', this outfit was short, included tennis shoes, no gloves, and no crown. This sports outfit appeared as an unlockable costume in ''[[Mario Hoops 3 on 3]]''. Unlike the original, it had more of her modern motif. Aside from her original sports outfit and the refined version, Daisy's common sports attire is like her current dress except it has no sleeves, no gloves, tennis shoes, and spots shorts. If Daisy isn't wearing her princess dress, she'll usually be seen in this outfit. While riding the bikes in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', she will wear a biker outfit; A trait shared with [[Princess Peach]] and [[Rosalina]].

===Character Relevance===
|-
Something about Daisy's development is the relevance it shares to Peach's. Although the style of her crown has, like mentioned, changed slightly over time, these changes are always in some contrast to Peach's crown. When Daisy first appeared her crown was a rose like color, while Peach's was yellow, Daisy happened to wear a yellow dress, and Peach a pink, or rose, dress. Another fact was that Daisy's main floral jewel on her crown used to be yellow, while Peach's was red. This may also be another switch of the rose and yellow coloring; it should also be mentioned the smaller jewels on Daisy and Peach's crowns were at a time both blue while the main jewels had the opposite colors as mentioned. Nowadays Peach has a darkened gold crown while Daisy has a lightened gold crown, and although the jewelery on the crown isn't in contrast to anything, the fact Daisy has a brunette hair coloring and Peach has a blond hair coloring reveals that the crowns are more of a brunette and blond shaded gold. Meaning, Daisy has a blond crown and brunette hair while Peach has blond hair and a brunette crown. These types of contrasting colors appear throughout Daisy and Peach's sports attire as well; for example: Daisy has a white collar and Peach has a dark rose collar, Daisy has a secondary coloring on her shorts while Peach doesn't, and Peach has a secondary coloring on her shirt while Daisy doesn't. Basically, this explains that Daisy and Peach are made to completely contrast, or be the opposite, of one another in everything except body composition.

===Graphical Mis-Haps===
|October 21, 2002
Weather they be mistakes or flaws-by-design, Daisy has had a number of graphical mishaps when it comes to her in-game character models. The screen intro of ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]'' depicts Daisy's dress as blue and Peach's dress as green, instead of their yellow and pink dresses respectively; this may be due to the color limitations of the era. In ''Mario is Missing!'', the same pallet design was used for Daisy; this is likely due to the previous in-game model being the only in-game colored version of Daisy around that era to base it off of. Daisy's trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' has a third eye pattern on the back of her head that players can view by zooming in through the back of her hair until the it is no longer visible; this was fixed in PAL and US version 1.2 of the game. Also in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', her trophy is depicted with maroon shoes, and Peach's costume recolor is depicted with teal shoes. Daisy's shoes are, and have always been orange, therefore both colors are incorrect. In beta screenshots of ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', Daisy appeared to have a bit of a pudgy stomach, but this extra layering was added to hide errors with her model's design; in the final release of the game, [[Camelot]], the creators of the game, fixed this. In ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'' and ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', Daisy's floral collar seems to be incomplete, as the collar has frill detailing, but isn't trimmed properly. As seen in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', Daisy's hair is free flowing while racing, but when she is moved in certain directions at high enough speeds, her hair tends to separate itself from the rest of her head. In ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' there is a mis-colored line running through the back of Daisy's hair flip; this is likely due to the skin design not completely fitting Daisy's character model's mesh. The most common mistake being the number of flips at the back of Daisy's hair changing anywhere from four to nine.

Daisy appears as a prominent character in the [[Super Mario Kun]] [[wikipedia:Manga|manga]], available only in [[wikipedia:Japan|Japan]]. First appearing in the Sarasaland chapters, Daisy's original role is equal to that as it was in the American comics. She is the captive princess of Tatanga, who plans to have her hand in marriage. Afterwards, Daisy's role switches to that of a heroine, alongside close friends Mario, Luigi, and Peach; most commonly as a rivalry for Peach. Although Daisy has not received her own series of manga such as Wario and Yoshi have, she is used as a more consistently reoccurring main character.

Many of the songs from the [[Super Mario Compact Disco]] revolve around lyrics dealing with or relating to Daisy. The song ''Save Me (With Your Charm)'' actually states in the beginning that it is Daisy singing,<blockquote>Yo, this is Princess Daisy| You're listening to Super Mario Compact Disco| Kick it</blockquote>Daisy was also mentioned in the songs ''Super Mario Land'', ''Radio Compact Disco 4'', ''Super Mario USA'', and ''Six Golden Coins''; most of these mentions related to a love interest between Mario and Daisy, Daisy being captive, or Daisy being rescued.
|''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]''
 
|Cameo
Aside from the Super Mario Compact Disco, Daisy had her own song on the Super Mario Land [single]. On the Japanese release, the song was titled ''Daisy's Mix'', but on the United Kingdom release it was titled ''Daisy's Breakdown''. On the [[Super Mario Land Original Soundtrack|Super Mario Land OST]] released only in Japan, Daisy had her own song titled ''Oh! Daisy (Princess Daisy Theme)''.  On the Mario Tennis 64 OST, Daisy had her own trophy theme called ''Trophy Win - Daisy''. Any other soundtracks featuring level music, such as ''[[Mario Kart Double Dash!!]]'' and ''[[Mario Hoops 3 on 3]]'', contain the theme music of Daisy levels pertaining to the specific game.

===Film===

In the [[Super Mario Bros. (movie)|''Super Mario Bros.'' film]], Daisy is a main character and the princess of [[Dinohatten]]. The first scene of the movie depicts Daisy’s mother, who was fleeing from [[Bowser|King Koopa]], putting a green egg with a small crystal tied to it on the steps of a cathedral. Her mother is later killed in a rock slide, and the green egg hatches into Daisy as a baby.

The nuns had either taken a vow of silence, or decided to keep it secret, because Daisy grows up thinking she is a normal human being. However, she always has an odd love of fossils and dinosaurs, so much that she becomes a paleontologist. One of her digging sites is being hounded by [[Anthony Scapelli]], a wealthy entrepreneur, because the dig is making him lose business. One day, she meets [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], and she and Luigi really hit it off.

Later in the film, King Koopa sends out his cousins [[Spike (character)|Spike]] and [[Iggy (Super Mario Bros.)|Iggy]] to capture Daisy. Luckily, the cousins continually kidnap the wrong girls, including Mario's girlfriend [[Daniella]]. Finally, when Mario and Luigi are helping her repair damage (done by Scapelli) to the fossil site, Iggy and Spike knock Mario and Luigi out and kidnap Daisy. They take her to Dinohattan and Mario and Luigi quickly follow. Luckily, Luigi is able to recover Daisy’s crystal necklace before she is abducted in a car, which takes the young woman straight to King Koopa’s Tower.

When Daisy arrives, King Koopa reveals to her that she is the princess of the dinosaur world. King Koopa states that the meteor that supposedly wiped out the dinosaurs actually sent the reptiles to an alternate dimension, where they eventually evolved into humanoids (just as had happened on [[Earth]], albeit Earthlings evolved from primates). Her mother and father, King Bowser, were the king of this dimension, until King Koopa turned her father into a fungus. Her mother fled to the dinosaur's original dimension, using a crystal recovered from the meteor that caused the dimensional rift, and, as previously mentioned, entrusted her daughter’s life to a group of nuns.

After revealing this to Daisy, King Koopa states that he has long harbored an ambition to take over the real world (his former home), but cannot send his entire army there without the crystal. As such, he sent Iggy and Spike to find her and with her, the meteorite piece. However, Daisy does not have the crystal, Luigi does. When this is revealed to King Koopa, he locks Daisy up in his tower.

|''[[Super Mario Strikers]]''
While imprisoned, Daisy forms a friendship with King Koopa's pet, [[Yoshi]]. King Koopa’s mistress, [[Lena]], grows to hate Daisy, suspecting that King Koopa has a crush on her. Eventually, this hatred drives her insane, and Lena attempted to kill Daisy. Yoshi saves the princess at the last minute, and they both escape from the tower together. She is then kidnapped by a Goomba (who, in fact, used to an anti-King Koopa street musician named [[Toad]]). Ironically, it is Iggy and Spike, who had recently had there brains enlarged, that save Daisy from her new prison. She then meets up again with Mario and Luigi. Mario goes to save the "princesses" that Spike and Iggy kidnapped while searching for Daisy, while Luigi and Daisy go to stop the invasion.

Finally, Daisy seals the breach between the dimensions and decides to stay in Dinohattan an take her rightful place as ruler. The end of the movie shows Daisy, geared for war, appears at Mario's apartment, telling them that they have to come back to Dinohattan, because a new threat had emerged. This was an attempt at setting up a sequel, which never came.

|-
The novelization of the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (movie)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' live-action movie, which is set outside the game universe, states that Daisy's father is named, King Bowser; this is likely a mistake as King Bowser isn't even depicted as her father in the movie.

|''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]''
*The ''Super Mario Land'' instruction manual names Daisy '''"Daisy Princess"''',  even though her official name is "Princess Daisy."  This may be the result of poor translation, as Daisy's Japanese name, Deiji-Hime, literally means "Daisy-Princess."
|Cameo
*Daisy's ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' trophy states that she appeared in ''[[Mario Golf]]'' for Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color rather than ''[[Mario Tennis]]'' for Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color. Although Daisy appeared in ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]'' in 1991, the only ''Mario Golf'' game she has appeared in is ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', and that game was released nineteen months after ''Super Smash Bros.

Princess Daisy, Fortune Street

Princess Daisy, or casually Daisy, is the princess of Sarasaland and a recurring character in the Super Mario franchise. An energetic and enthusiastic princess who can be slightly tomboyish, Mario once saved her and her kingdom from the rule of Tatanga in 1989's Super Mario Land on the Game Boy.[1] Daisy would not make a major appearance again until Mario Tennis on the Nintendo 64 in 2000, and has since made relatively frequent appearances in games of various genres. She is also Luigi's love interest and Peach's best friend. Her traits and abilities are often flower-based.

Creation and development

In Super Mario Land, the developers wanted the game to take place in a new setting, far away from the Mushroom Kingdom, and Daisy was created to fill the damsel-in-distress role.[2] Sarasaland was named after a type of floral design, and Daisy was created with a matching flower motif.[3] Despite Daisy's role, she was prescribed a unique personality,[1] which has continued to be part of her defining traits in subsequent appearances.

After an early hiatus in the 1990s, Daisy was reintroduced in Mario Tennis. The planning department at Camelot wanted more characters with bodies better suited for the real-life sport than what most Mario characters provided, and they found Daisy to be a valuable addition when Nintendo suggested her. This was also after Nintendo turned down the game's assistant director, Yusuke Sugimoto, proposing a Wario-like version of Peach because they thought it would not be cute.[4] Since then, Daisy has made regular appearances as a playable character in most of the Super Mario multiplayer games, including Mario Party, Mario Kart, and Super Mario sports titles.

After many of Daisy's appearances being limited to spinoff titles, she was made playable in the Super Mario series in the mobile title Super Mario Run with an update, albeit only after beating World 30 in Remix 10. She was subsequently made playable in the console platformer Super Mario Bros. Wonder, where she is available right from the start.

History

Main article: History of Princess Daisy

Princess Daisy has made her first appearance in Super Mario Land as a damsel-in-distress. Despite her Super Mario debut, she rarely appeared in the core series. Like Waluigi, she made most appearances as a playable character in Mario spin-offs.

General information

Physical description

Debut appearance
Modern appearance
Daisy's debut appearance (left); Daisy's modern appearance (right).

Daisy is a young[5] woman with vivid blue eyes and deep orange hair.[6] She has an average height compared to other Super Mario characters, being shorter than Peach[7] but generally depicted as taller than Luigi except in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and she is usually classified in the middle of weight classes in the Mario Kart series. Her hairstyle is flipped with parted bangs, and it reaches past her shoulders in length. Her facial features include distinctive, round cheeks, a button nose, soft and natural lips, and large, round eyes with two thick, black lashes and long, curved eyebrows. Her lips vary from light rose to orange in color or having orange lipstick.

Daisy usually wears a yellow, floor-length dress similar to Peach's, but with white and orange accents. It has puffy sleeves with white, petal-shaped openings, a matching collar, orange panniers at the waist, and two rows of orange frills at the base; there is sometimes a white petticoat underneath. She wears short, white gloves with petal-shaped openings and heeled pumps varying from orange to vermillion in color. She wears round, viridian earrings with white, petal-shaped encasings and a matching, oval brooch. She also wears a gold crown with round gems that match her other jewelry on the front and back and round, red gems on the sides.

Daisy's appearance has been varied and revised over time. Especially throughout her early appearances, details of her design differed and varied until being set to a more common standard as of a redesign introduced with the release of Mario Party 4 on the Nintendo GameCube in 2002.

In Daisy's debut in Super Mario Land in 1989, her hair extends past her waist and covers her ears, and her crown is red with a single jewel on the front. The jewel of her crown has six petals and her earrings each have five. She has black eyes and jewels, and her floral collar is centered at the seam of the petals as opposed to the tip. Her dress has a white waistband and there is a white dollop pattern along the bottom of it. In-game, Daisy's sprite resembles a girl with long hair wearing a dress, using only two shades from the Game Boy's limited palette.

In NES Open Tournament Golf in 1991, she is shown with blue eyes and jewels, as well as yellow slippers. Daisy and Peach wear miniskirts as opposed to their previous floor-length dresses, and they lack their crowns. They are also shown to be the same height and appear to be body-doubles in size and stature. In-game, Daisy's sprite appearance highly differs from her look in artwork; her hair is blond, her dress is blue, and some other physical details are also off-model.

In Mario Tennis in 2000, Daisy was given a darker hair and skin color, being depicted with a notably deeper skin-tone than other characters in the game like Peach and Baby Mario, as seen in the game's promotional and title screen art. She and some other characters have pale skin in-game, however. She still sports a miniskirt, common with Peach's appearances in sport games, but she lacks a crown despite Peach now wearing her own again. Instead of the previous slippers, Daisy and Peach wear matching orange sneakers with a yellow strap and white tube socks.

In Mario Party 3, Daisy is depicted with a long dress and a crown again for the first time since her debut. Artwork shows her crown to be pink instead of the original red, with an oval, yellow jewel on the front, encrusted in six white, floral petals; additionally, on the sides of her crown are round, blue jewels. Renders also depict her wearing orange heels, and with her earrings having five, white petals around them with blue jewels in the center that match the blue of her brooch. Her in-game model depicts the crown as red again, her heels a matching red, and the jewels of her earrings and brooch are more greenish than blue. The jewel on the front of her crown lacks the floral details, and her earrings have six petals instead of the previously standard five. Unlike in Mario Tennis, her tan is retained in-game and on the promotional materials alike. This was also the first time Daisy was noticeably shorter than Peach, as they previously shared a body type, but now had completely unique models.[8]

In Super Smash Bros. Melee on the Nintendo GameCube in 2001, most characters' appearances are derived from their looks on the Nintendo 64, and Daisy's is based on hers from Mario Party 3 in particular. The only notable difference in her trophy is her jewels using multi-colored tones encompassing both the blue colors typical of her art and the green tones found on her in-game model, as well as additional magenta hues, depicting an overall iridescent appearance unique to this game and in line with its more realistic style. Princess Peach's alternate costume in this game takes on not just Daisy's color palette at the time, but also unique details of her costume like the floral motif and the dress's pattern, and it included some unique details like shoes matching her jewels instead of the then red or orange heels.

With the graphical changes from the Nintendo 64 to the Nintendo GameCube, starting with Mario Party 4, Daisy's appearance changed further and established a more consistent design for her that has remained mostly unchanged compared to the shifting details from her initial appearances. These changes made some aspects of her appearance more similar to Peach's, like giving her a gold crown instead of a red or pink one, dress details like panniers and ruffles on the bottom that replaced the white waistband and dollop pattern, and reverting Daisy's skin to a lighter tone. Some more unique features were implemented, as well, like giving her shorter, more uniquely styled hair, making orange her primary color, establishing the unique body physique, as well as retaining the greener jewel color.

For the most part, Daisy's appearance has not changed throughout the years since her last major redesign. There are instances where her hair may be a brighter or darker shade of orange, and her skin-tone sometimes has varied between a pale white and a light tan, but as of Mario Golf: Super Rush in 2021, Daisy has consistently been depicted with a lightly tanned skin-tone, and Nintendo has been revising old renders to solidify this skin-tone as well as a more consistent, deeply hued and shaded color of orange hair.[9]

Alternate outfits

In NES Open Tournament Golf, she wears a sundress that is similar overall to her usual dress, although shorter, yellow ballet flats, and she lacked a crown. In-game, however, she was depicted having blonde hair and wearing a blue dress, presumably due to graphic limitations.

For Daisy's official breakthrough into the Super Mario franchise overall in Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64, Daisy wears a dress similar to the one she wore in NES Open Tournament Golf, where the primary colors are amber yellow and the polka dots and linings are white. In addition, she wore orange shoes with white high socks to suits the sports theme properly. She also had an alternative color palette in Short Game mode, where her dress was lavender and indigo, while the shoes were colored indigo as well.

When the GameCube Super Mario sports installments came around, her current sports attire started to make their debut appearance as well. Daisy's primary athletic wear is a two-piece uniform, which was first introduced in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour. It includes a sleeveless yellow top with her flower brooch, orange shorts, and tennis shoes with mid-height white socks. Daisy appears in this outfit more often than any other outfit, including her usual gown. She also has an athletic minidress, which was first introduced in Mario Hoops 3-on-3. It is a short yellow dress with two orange frills at the bottom resembling the ruffles on her usual gown. This outfit was first an unlockable alternative to her two-piece athletic uniform and was later used as her primary athletic wear in Mario Tennis Open and Mario Golf: World Tour.

In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, she wears a new outfit similar to her regular athletic outfit; the top now has white accents on the sides and slightly bares her midriff, while the shorts are a bit darker and longer and come with yellow linings on the sides. This outfit receives some minor additions depending on the sport, such as a brown harness belt in the Sport Climbing and Archery events, or burnt orange knee-high socks in Football and Rugby Sevens.

In Super Mario Strikers, Daisy wears a two-piece soccer uniform that bares her midriff. Both the jersey and shorts are orange with emerald green linings on the sides. Also included are emerald green high tops with orange high socks. In Mario Strikers Charged, she wears the same uniform, but with pieces of armor overlapping it due to the game's intensity. It is available in two colors: the first is orange while the alternate is emerald green. Daisy's soccer number can be found on the back of her chest-plate. Daisy appears in this outfit for her trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In Mario Strikers: Battle League, her soccer uniform no longer bares her midriff and now consists of a soccer jersey and shorts that can now be worn with or without armor.

In Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8/Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Daisy wears a special biker suit when riding motorbikes instead of karts, and also on ATVs in the latter two titles. Daisy's jumpsuit is white with yellow as a secondary color. It includes a yellow scarf and a yellow heart graphic on the back. It features yellow elbow-length gloves with white accents, similar to Princess Peach's regular gloves, matching knee-high yellow boots with white trims and soles, and a matching belt with a silver buckle. In Mario Kart 8, the white on her jumpsuit is now a yellowish-white color.

In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, Daisy wears an outfit more suited for cold weather, consisting of a yellow mini-dress with long orange sleeves and orange leggings with vertical white stripes on both sides. She also wears white gloves and boots with yellow laces.

In Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games and Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Daisy wears a yellow leotard with orange lining on either side that also functions as a swimsuit; she is seen wearing this for the Rhytmic Gymnastics and Aquatics events in these installments.

In Mario Golf: Super Rush, Daisy wears a new outfit that suits the golfing theme more. This outfit consists of a yellow polo shirt, a white skirt with an orange belt and two flower badges attached to the left center. The footwear is similar to what she wore in Mario Tennis Aces, although a set of spike cleats are attached to the soles, and she wears orange high socks with a yellow stripe at the near top. Daisy's hair appears to be reverted to titian brown, and her skin tone appears tanned.

Daisy in her Super Smash Bros. dress

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Daisy's standard dress was modified to a greater level of detail. Her crown has embossed patterns added on its surface. Embroidered details have been added to her collar, sleeve openings, and gloves. Seams were added on her torso that segment it into sections. A detailed white centerpiece was added in her midsection. An additional skirt layer was added that is split down the center and tipped with a tatted, white frill. Detailed plant-like patterns were added to her gown in various locations, including some akin to her original dress pattern. The two ruffles on the bottom of her dress were raised to display a yellow opening. The orange ruffles themselves were also covered in greater levels of detail. Her heels were made a matching orange color to her dress accents, and the red crown jewels are much pinker. The petticoat sometimes seen beneath Daisy's gown is absent in place of a deeply shaded void. Her dress comes in eight different color palettes.

In Mario Kart Tour, Daisy is seen in alternative forms. In her Holiday Cheer form, Daisy wears a red coat with white trimmings and buttons. The build also features a red beret with holly leaves, and she has black leggings with white-and-red colored ankle boots, befitting the Christmas aspect of the London Tour. In her Fairy form, Daisy wears a yellow flower dress with green leaf straps, a belt of green leaves with pink and white flowers, a daisy wreath and yellow butterfly wings similar to common depictions of fairies. In her Yukata form, the yukata is colored orange with white streaks and scale designs, a blue sash, and a Cheep-Cheep mask. In her Swimwear form, Daisy wears a yellow and orange swimdress, with the frills resembling flower petals and orange shorts underneath, a yellow and orange striped thin hairbow and matching flip-flops, with buckles resembling her flower brooch. In her Farmer form, she wears an orange-yellow long-sleeve shirt with blue overalls, similar to Peach's in Super Mario Odyssey, but instead of wearing a straw hat, she wears a headband similar to the one she wears in her Swimwear variant but without the stripes. In Her Thai Dress form, she wears a green and orange sabai, a golden crown with a round red gem, and silver heels. In her Sailor form, she wears a white and orange sailor shirt and hat with orange shorts and golden buttons, as well as the same orange shoes that she usually wears with her athletic uniform in the Mario Sports games.

In Super Mario Bros Wonder, Daisy is seen with several power-up forms. With a Fire Flower, her dress turns white while the orange parts remain the same and her collar becomes orange. With a Drill Mushroom, Daisy wears a drill hat, while the dress is colored onyx black with light grey stripes forming a spiral around it, similar to Peach's version of the same power-up, while the orange parts and white openings remain the same. With the Elephant Fruit, Daisy turns into an orange elephant, her dress is largely the same as her regular dress except she has visible bloomers underneath. With a Bubble Flower, Daisy's dress turns purple with the orange accents becoming yellow.

Personality

Artwork of Princess Daisy in Mario Party: Star Rush
Profile artwork of Daisy for Mario Party: Star Rush

Daisy is portrayed as a tomboy with an extroverted personality and a tough demeanor. She can be described as spunky, energetic, loud, cheerful, and confident. In the song Save Me With Your Charm, she was shown to speak with a British accent, although in later appearances, when speaking, she uses American slang and has a twang to her voice. She also has a sassy side, often regarded for her wittiness and attitude. Unlike Peach, Daisy is not as proper or poised as she would be based on her appearance and status as royalty; such as standing with her hands on her hips, exhibiting hotheadedness in defeat, and showing off in victory or to get her way. It has been suggested her choice of colors could reflect her personality,[10] with orange being her favorite.[11] She likes to go shopping and dine at fine restaurants, but gladly passes up such enjoyments to train instead.

Daisy is also portrayed as a champion. In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, she seems to be an expert on skating sports; at the point, she was the only one who managed to beat Lakitu's missions. In Mario Strikers Charged, she won the Brick Wall Award for four consecutive years, and five after beating her challenge. In Mario Party 3, she said that she had never lost before, not even with her father.

Daisy has claimed to be clumsy. She fell off stage while receiving her trophy in Mario Tennis. She needs help after becoming lost in the Remix 10 pipe in Super Mario Run, and admits to being absentminded while waiting for her turn in Fortune Street.

Daisy will use her charms and tough temper to get what she wants. In Mario Party 3, she flirts with the Millennium Star to get the Beauty Stamp, and she swats Bowser into the sky when he gets in her way.

In Super Mario Strikers and Mario Strikers Charged, her personality is heightened. She celebrates scoring by showboating; throwing herself on the ground as she pumps her arms, brushing her shoulders off, and making a sizzling sound as she presses a finger to her backside. She responds to opponents scoring by trying to conceal her injuries, and she crosses her arms and taps her foot disapprovingly at her teammates, who cower in response to her wrath. In Mario Tennis Aces, she largely has the same personality traits as before, although she does show some lack of confidence after witnessing Lucien's possessing Wario, Waluigi, and Luigi, even believing they may not even be able to beat Lucien due to its powers. She also showed some common sense, as she immediately suspected Toad knew more than he let on about Lucien and demanded he tell the truth, and later became disappointed in Wario and Waluigi for even considering getting Lucien again after Mario beat Bowcien, especially after what happened to them earlier.

In Fortune Street, Daisy's personality is more heavily explored with the robust amount of dialogue among characters. She is shown to be impulsive and excitable, eager to take on big challenges and try new things; like scaling the Colossus and riding the flying train at the Observatory. She considers becoming a professional athlete when tasked to pick a new trade-in Alltrades Abbey, and she repeatedly remarks on wanting to take home cute creatures like Yoshi and Slime to have as pets. Daisy is shown to be domineering and direct to others, teasing and bossing Luigi around when his shops are not large enough. She also talks down to enemies like Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser, refusing to congratulate their success and criticizing their shops, believing they would commit foul play. The same game also shows she's not above pitching a fit or forcing others to pay up to allow her to get an expensive item at her request, based on some of her comments. She also implies that she has a bit of a ruthless side, as she makes clear that she's willing to "fight dirty" despite her status as a princess when warning others to not underestimate her. It is also hinted in her bio for Mario Party 3 as well as her comments to Birdo that she is a bit vain regarding her appearance.

Daisy's love for flowers is one of her most notable traits. In addition to having flower accessories/patterns on the majority of her outfits, her presents' room in Mario Party 4 notes Daisy likes to pick up flowers herself. In Fortune Street, Daisy says she would like to be gifted a flower bouquet rather than being gifted a victory. In the story mode of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, Daisy is ecstatic to see the flowers a Chao took care of for her and proceeds to kick off a Kiki who wants to damage them. According to the Super Game Boy Player's Guide, Daisy enjoys working in her castle's rose garden.[12]

Powers and abilities

Overall, Daisy is usually an all-around or technique character in sports games. In Mario Superstar Baseball, she is a Balance type player who leans more towards Technique, and in Mario Power Tennis, she is a purely Technical player. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games was the first time Daisy was classified as a Speed player, but even then, her rounded technique still qualified her for a balanced range of event handicaps. Like other Super Mario characters, Daisy can punch, kick, jump, wall kick, and ground pound, as well being able to jump in midair in Super Mario Run. She has also been occasionally shown to have a strong swing, having the longest non-star drive of any human player in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour. Daisy is also capable of using power-ups such as the Fire Flower among others, as shown for the first time in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

Most of Daisy's abilities and powers use some sort of flower-related effect, either as a visual side-effect or an active part of the technique. These often take the form of making petals appear, ranging from her Flower Ball abilities in Mario Superstar Baseball, which use petals to obscure the ball from the opponents' view, to her offensive Mario Power Tennis move Wonder Flower, giving her hits special powers determined by the color of the petals surrounding her racket, to the simple visual flair they bring to her Mario Hoops 3-on-3 Flower Shot. In Mario Golf: World Tour, one of her victory animations even features her changing from her tennis outfit into her standard appearance in a flurry of petals. In other games, she can summon entire flowers from the ground, such as a garden fence and a patch of daisies to block other players from catching the ball hit with her Flower Swing in Mario Super Sluggers, or the bed of daisies appearing beneath her during her defensive Mario Power Tennis Flowerbed Return.

In Super Mario Strikers, Daisy is an offensive team captain. Her Super Strike is called the Torpedo Strike, and once more involves flower visuals behind her. However, in the sequel, Mario Strikers Charged, Daisy is a defensive team captain instead and is uniquely associated with crystal summoning abilities, having them erupt from the playing field for her Crystal Smash! Super Ability, and encasing her fist in them to punch the ball towards the goal during her Crystallized Daisy Mega Strike.

In Mario Party 3, she was shown to have enough physical strength to effortlessly send Bowser flying into the sky with a single slap.

Relationships

Friends

Daisy and Luigi in NES Open Tournament Golf

One of Daisy's closest relations is with Luigi. In NES Open Tournament Golf, Daisy is seen as Luigi's caddie and Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour shows Luigi and Daisy golfing alongside Peach and Mario. In her Mario Power Tennis victory scene, Daisy says, "Hey, sweetie!" to Luigi, and he gawks at her skating prowess. Also, in the Mario Baseball series, Luigi and Daisy share good chemistry. One of the most known references to their relationship occurs in Mario Kart Wii, where there is a giant, golden statue on Daisy Circuit that shows the two holding hands and dancing together, along with another of them as babies. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Daisy's trophy states: "After her appearance in Mario Golf, some gossips started portraying her as Luigi's answer to Mario's Peach". Their team names from the Mario Party series include, "Steady Sweeties" and "Tango Tanglers". In Fortune Street, Daisy expresses disappointment upon landing on his cheap shop, telling him that "[he] could make this shop so much bigger!" Daisy and Luigi are seen walking together in Mario Party: Island Tour's opening cutscene. The official Mario Party 4 guide states that Luigi has a crush on Daisy.[page number needed] In Mario Tennis Aces, Daisy is shown to be worried for Luigi when he disappears with Wario and Waluigi after being corrupted by Lucien, telling Mario to "[p]lease... just bring Luigi back safely!"

Peach is Daisy's other closest friend. Daisy is often partnered with Peach by default in spin-off installments for the Super Mario franchise. The two share a team orb, the Flower Orb, in Mario Party 7 and share a team item, the Heart, in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. Daisy and Peach share good chemistry in the Mario Baseball series, and Daisy is also on Peach's team in the Challenge Mode of Mario Super Sluggers. In Fortune Street, Daisy is encouraging Peach when she's going to win, saying, "I'm lovin' the girl power, Peach! Win this one for the ladies!" Mario Power Tennis's website says that Daisy is Peach's "sister in arms". Her bio from the Wii U version of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games says she makes plans to go shopping with Peach in her downtime. In the Prima guides for Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart Wii, Daisy is stated to be Peach's cousin,[13][14] a claim that has not been confirmed or denied by Nintendo. Before her official return in Mario Tennis and by extension, the start of Peach and Daisy's friendship, a 4-Koma segment of the manga Super Mario Kun depicted Daisy as being a rival of Peach, with the latter being jealous enough of Mario giving Daisy constant attention that she threw a mushroom at him in frustration.

Daisy and Mario are also shown to be on friendly terms. Early supplemental material for Super Mario Land such as the Super Game Boy Player's Guide indicates that Mario once had romantic feelings for Daisy,[12] while the Kodansha manga depicts Daisy and Peach as longtime love rivals infatuated with Mario; however, outside of a heart that appears between them after Mario rescues Daisy from Tatanga, Mario and Daisy have not even shown any particularly friendly interactions in subsequent games until Mario Tennis Aces. In Mario Party 6, Mario and Daisy are given the team name "Nice Couple" when paired together, while they have neutral player chemistry in Mario Superstar Baseball or its sequel. In Mario Tennis Aces, she offered to come with Mario to help him save Luigi and also was the first to tell them about the flier. Also, she made clear that Mario defeated Lucien anyway, despite the racket's fearsome powers when reminding Waluigi and Wario about how the greedy duo caused disaster from the last time they tried to obtain Lucien.

Birdo appears to be a good friend of Daisy. In Fortune Street Daisy shares a friendly joke with Birdo when the latter is close to victory or Daisy swaps shops with her: "I'd give you a blue ribbon for first place, Birdo, but somehow I think you'd prefer a pink ribbon! Hee hee!". They show good chemistry in Super Mario Sluggers, and in Mario Party 8 their team name is "Gallopin' Gal Pals". In Mario Tennis, Birdo is Daisy's Doubles Partner. She also was seen partnering up with Rosalina for the tennis bout in Mario Sports Superstars, hinting at good ties between them. Toadette also appears to be in good terms with Daisy. In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, they are seen having a conversation while waiting for Prince Florian to show up. Later on when Bowser merges with the Flower Castle, causing a sequence of tremors, Daisy stops Toadette from falling over.

Daisy is also shown to be great friends with Amy Rose and Blaze the Cat from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. She and Peach are seen next to them in the opening of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games with she and Blaze bonding in Ultimate Figure Skating. In Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, she and Amy are often seen hanging out together as close friends.

Enemies

Daisy and Waluigi have been portrayed as having a bad relationship, with several games depicting Daisy's interactions with Waluigi as negative. In the official Mario Party 4 guide, it says that Waluigi has a crush on Daisy, and their team name in Mario Party 5 and Mario Party 6 is "Awkward Date". In the Mario Baseball series, Daisy and Waluigi have bad chemistry. In Mario Strikers Charged, Waluigi is her opponent in Challenges mode. In Mario Kart 8, Waluigi is Daisy's rival when playing in the Grand Prix. In Fortune Street, Daisy seems to think lowly of Waluigi. If she lands on one of Waluigi's low-priced shops, she says that the shop is disappointing, and she is not surprised that the shop belongs to him,[15] while when she lands on an average shop, she asks why she needs to stop here and she feels disgusted.[16] In Mario Tennis Aces, she felt that Waluigi and Wario were more suspicious than usual,[17] and also condemned them when they implied wanting to use Lucien again so they would become strong tennis players, especially when Mario already defeated Lucien, despite its ferocious abilities anyway.[18]

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Wendy O. Koopa's trophy states that she sees Peach and Daisy as her rivals. In Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Wendy calls Daisy a "poser" as well as "lame". In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Wendy has Daisy as one of her rivals.

Daisy, like anyone affiliated with Mario, has an antagonistic relationship with Bowser. With a surprising amount of strength, she smacks the Koopa King into the sky in Mario Party 3, and refers to him as a misfit in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games after he and Dr. Eggman are defeated in the Adventure Tours mode. She also has bad chemistry with Bowser in the Mario baseball series. In the final cinematic of Mario Super Sluggers, Daisy escorted Bowser and his son Bowser Jr. to the Daisy Cruiser during the night, showing she can be civil with him on occasions. In Fortune Street, Daisy sees no threat or significance in Bowser.[19] If Bowser is about to win the game, Daisy says she refuses to congratulate Bowser "no matter how awesome he did". Bowser, likewise, denigrates Daisy's efforts, seeing her as lower than Peach in Fortune Street. In Mario Tennis Aces, she indicates that one of the biggest reasons she loathes Bowser is because of his willingness to cause conflicts or even worsen them just to settle his arch-rivalry with Mario, especially when Bowser tries empowering himself by stealing Lucien and the Power Stones while she, Peach, and Mario were dealing with the possessed Wario, Waluigi, and Luigi. After witnessing Lucien possess them, as well as learning its possible origin, she was shown to be very disturbed by the racket and was somewhat shaken even after its ultimate destruction. Despite this, Mario Party Superstars has her look visibly frightened of Bowser's presence if she lands on a Bowser Space.

Daisy and Petey Piranha have negative chemistry in Mario Superstar Baseball, though this is no longer the case in its sequel, while multiple specimens live in her garden in both Mario Hoops 3-on-3 and Mario Sports Mix, suggesting that they had a change of heart.

Then one day, that terrible tyrant, Tatanga, burst into the princess’ happy garden and took her away to live in his dark and dreary kingdom. When Mario heard of this heinous act, he set off to rescue his longtime love. Now, he must survive the minions of Tatanga’s evil army to save his beloved from a rose-less life of despair.
