“Don't underestimate me, people! Just because I'm a princess doesn't mean I won't fight dirty!”

—Princess Daisy, Fortune Street

Princess Daisy, or casually Daisy, is the princess of Sarasaland and a recurring character in the Super Mario franchise. She is 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. 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

For 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. Sarasaland was named after a type of floral design, and Daisy was created with a matching flower motif. Despite Daisy's role, she was prescribed a unique personality, 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. 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

Super Mario series

Super Mario Land

Mario and Daisy in the ending of Super Mario Land

Daisy makes her debut in Super Mario Land. Tatanga, a space alien, invades Daisy's nation, Sarasaland, in order to marry her and make her his queen. He kidnaps Daisy and hypnotizes Sarasaland's inhabitants, turning them into the game's enemies. Mario comes to rescue Daisy and bring peace to Sarasaland by traveling through each of its four kingdoms in pursuit of defeating Tatanga. The first three worlds conclude with an enemy disguising themselves as Daisy to trick Mario, specifically the Birabuto, Muda, and Easton Kingdoms, which end with a Fly, a Gunion, and a Kumo posing as her, respectively. Chai Kingdom is where the actual Daisy is rescued, after Tatanga is defeated by Mario, and Daisy thanks Mario before they fly away in the Sky Pop II.

Though her name is correctly "Princess Daisy" in the rest of the manual, Daisy is referred to as "Daisy Princess" on page thirteen. This is likely because of the Japanese styling for Daisy's name, Deiji-hime, placing the word for "Daisy" (Deiji) before the word for "Princess" (hime).

Super Mario Maker

Mario can transform into Daisy using a Mystery Mushroom in Super Mario Maker. Her costume was made available with the release of the Adventure in Sarasaland event course on January 14, 2016. She is one of the few characters in the game whose costume unlock is incompatible with their respective amiibo, and instead she can only be unlocked by completing the accompanying Super Mario Land event course; this is because her amiibo was not released until later in 2016. As with many other character transformations, Daisy's uses voice clips from previous games. Upon collecting the Mystery Mushroom, Daisy shouts, "Yippee!", while the normal Super Mario Bros. power-up sound effect plays. Her "course clear" and "lose a life" jingles come from Super Mario Land, the latter sound also having a voice clip over it. The jumping and defeated sound effects are also replaced with voice clips; the former has her occasionally saying, "Woohoo!", and the latter has her screaming, "No!" Pressing makes Daisy perform a taunt, grunting and facing the screen with her hands folded on her lap like her sprite's pose in Super Mario Land.

Super Mario Run

Mario finding Princess Daisy in Super Mario Run

Daisy is a playable character in Super Mario Run, starting in the version 3.0.4 update. The update opens the Remix 10 pipe, and Toad informs the player that Daisy is lost within the world, giving the player the objective of rescuing Daisy and returning her. Daisy is unlocked once the player clears VS Bowser in Area 30. Daisy's unique ability is the double jump - which has her perform a shorter jump while in the air. This replaces the Midair Spin. If Daisy is used to complete Bowser's Bob-ombing Run, she rescues Toad instead of Peach.

A statue of Daisy and a golden statue of Daisy are buildings available in Kingdom Builder mode.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Daisy pushing a Warp Pipe towards a Shova in Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Daisy makes her first playable appearance in a Super Mario platformer released on a Nintendo console in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Unlike in Super Mario Run, Daisy is available right from the start. In gameplay, Daisy shares the same abilities as the other characters (aside from the Yoshis and Nabbit). This game marks the first time Daisy can be seen using power-ups other than the Super Mushroom or Super Star. With the corresponding items, she can transform into Fire Daisy, Elephant Daisy, Bubble Daisy, and Drill Daisy.

The game's director, Shiro Mouri, revealed in an interview that Daisy was added as a playable character in part to resolve a conflict between his two daughters, who would often fight over whom would play as Peach in various games of the Super Mario franchise.

Additionally, Giselle Fernandez makes their debut as Daisy's new voice actor in this game, replacing longtime Daisy voice actress Deanna Mustard after over two decades.

Super Mario Kodansha manga

The first volume of the Super Mario Kodansha manga anthology takes from the plot of Super Mario Land. Daisy and Peach are friends until they become rivals after Daisy falls in love with Mario. Tatanga captures Daisy and Peach follows Mario's rescue of her while disguised as a robot to make sure Mario does not have an affair with Daisy. Daisy later makes small appearances in future volumes that portray her rivalry with Peach.

In the Mario Open Golf story, Daisy plays golf with Mario, Luigi, and Peach. A disguised King Koopa shows up to trick them into playing a high-stakes golf tournament with pro-golfers Tony and Billy. There are signs of Daisy becoming interested in Luigi as he is a much better golfer than Mario, who has to resort to cheating.

Wario turns Daisy into a wicked version of herself.

In the Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins story, Wario captures Daisy. Mario and Peach's rescue efforts are often frustrated by the Witch, who plays tricks on them such as transforming into Daisy. Wario manipulates Daisy into becoming「ワルデイジー」(Warudeijī, "Waldaisy"), which Tatanga believes would make her want to marry him, but she instead brainwashes the natives of his planet into serving Wario, though he seems oblivious to her intentions. Daisy seduces Luigi into becoming「ワルイージ」(Waruīji, "Waluigi") and even uses evil energy to turn Peach into「ワルピーチ」(Warupīchi, "Walpeach"), but overestimates Peach's capacity for evil as she lacks badness in her heart. The spell is broken when Mario kisses Daisy, and she joins the heroes in defeating Wario. Later, when Wario attempts to destroy Mario's castle, she arrives with the reformed Tatanga and throws her earrings at Mario and Luigi, turning them into Fire Mario and Fire Luigi.

In the Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land story, Daisy appears as a recurring character, aiding Mario, Peach, Luigi, and Wario as they try to reclaim the treasure stolen by Captain Syrup. She first shows up after Wario's rowboat capsizes, appearing as a mermaid known as the "spirit of the seas," giving Wario the three Power Up Pots. However, it is later revealed that this was Daisy disguising herself as part of a plot to gain Mario's affections, hoping that if Wario looked cooler Peach would fall in love with him instead of Mario.

Daisy later reappears on Kitchen Island while Mario and Luigi travel there to investigate the cause of a mysterious fog that has spread over the Mushroom Kingdom, making the citizens all fall ill. She assists Mario in stopping the source of the poisonous fog, Debidebi Daiō, who was released after Mario and friends destroyed a statue in Stove Canyon. However, Debidebi Daiō falls in love with Daisy, sending the Genie to kidnap her. While kidnapped, Daisy receives a vision from Peach, who reveals that Daisy is in fact, an alter ego of herself. She asks Daisy to save the world in her stead, as she is incapacitated by her illness. However, she adds that after doing so, Daisy will disappear. Eventually, Mario rescues Daisy and defeats Debidebi Daiō, but the poison gas remains spread across the world. Knowing what she has to do, Daisy states she knows a way to still save the world, thanking Mario for all the wonderful memories and kissing him before saying goodbye. Before disappearing, she asks Mario to think of her whenever he sees daisies blooming in a field, her body turning into spores. The spores spread across the world, purifying it and healing everyone who had fallen sick. Mario mourns her sacrifice and is later shown placing flowers at her grave. However, after purifying the world, Daisy's spores touch down on the ground, sprouting into flowers which bloom and grow into a horde of small versions of Daisy, reviving her. The group of Daisies excitedly runs towards Mario, much to everyone's surprise.

Daisy's final appearance in the manga is in a four-cell gag strip at the end of the second volume of the Yoshi's Story adaptation. Luigi tells the revived Daisy that she is just a copy, and that he loved the original Daisy, sadly placing a ring of flowers on her tombstone. However, the ground beneath the grave begins to rise, causing Luigi to scream in terror and urinate himself. Given the gag nature of this strip, the authenticity of this event is unclear.

Super Mario-kun

Daisy appears in a four-cell strip of Super Mario-kun with Mario and Peach. Peach yells at Mario and throws a mushroom at him, jealous of the relationship between him and Daisy. In the third volume, Daisy is the sender who delivers Mario a Marine Pop. In volume 26, she appears in Luigi's imagination.

Nintendo Comics System

Daisy also appears in the Game Boy comic books. Just as in Super Mario Land, she is Tatanga's captive and is waiting for Mario to save her. In these comics, Daisy, Mario, and Tatanga are released from the world of video games to go on adventures in the "Real World."

In Adventure Mode, Daisy firstly appears in the opening cinematic where Luigi, Wario and Waluigi get possessed by an ancient racket. Daisy, upon witnessing what happened, noted that Wario and Waluigi were even more suspicious than usual, and also suspected Toad of knowing something before enticing him to reveal this information. Successively, Daisy wants to help Mario to find Luigi, but Toad refuses to let her leave because according to him, the mission is too dangerous for a "diplomat" and convinces her to stay in the stadium for the rest of their mission (and also citing that Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi would have used their absence to attack the stadium again). When Mario and Toad come back to the stadium and Lucien forces Mario to compete into the "Lucien Cup", Daisy and Peach face the corrupted Wario and Waluigi, who are empowered with portions of Bask's power by Aster earlier. Although Daisy and Peach defeat the pair, their victory proves short-lived when Bowser steals Lucien. After Bowser takes his leave with Lucien and challenges Mario, Daisy makes it clear that this was the main reason that she disliked Bowser all along. After Mario defeated the resulting fusion between the two, Bowcien, Wario and Waluigi expressed disappointment that they would not be able to become the best tennis players with Lucien, prompting Daisy to scold them both for not learning anything.

SmashWiki article: Daisy (SSBU)

Daisy is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. She was first announced during the E3 2018 Nintendo Direct alongside fellow newcomers Inkling and Ridley. Daisy is a clone of Peach, meaning that her attacks and abilities are very similar, but with some differences. Daisy still has different animations for standing and dashing, along with some aesthetic differences such as the use of a Blue Toad instead of Toad himself or orange/yellow flower petal effects replacing Peach's pink heart effects on various attacks. Daisy uses a Blue Toad for all of her grabs as well as her neutral special move, Toad. Like Peach, she plucks Vegetables from the ground for her down special move, which have varying damage outputs depending on their faces; there is a small chance of Daisy plucking a Bob-omb or Mr. Saturn instead. Daisy's up special move is Daisy Parasol, and this is her first time using one. Daisy is lighter than Marth, Diddy Kong, and Lucina but heavier than Young Link, Greninja, and Isabelle, while having the same weight as Peach. Daisy's voice clips are reused from Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart 8, Super Mario Run, Mario Super Sluggers, and Mario Party 10. Daisy's Mii wig from the previous game returns, and is now available from the start.

In Adventure Mode: World of Light, she is recruited at Dracula's Castle after her puppet fighter is defeated.

Daisy is one of the two newcomers without an introduction tagline, similarly to Dark Pit in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U), with the other being Inkling. She is also the only newcomer in this game without a dedicated reveal video, as she was simply shown coinciding with the introduction of the term "Echo Fighter", and the explanation that both Dark Pit and Lucina would be classified as such in the E3 2018 Nintendo Direct.

The first six battles of Daisy's Classic Mode route involves her battling princesses or any other form of female nobility. Daisy's route, Sarasaland Represent!, involves Daisy engaging in these battles in the following order:

1. Zelda on Temple
2. Lucina on Castle Siege
3. Rosalina on Mario Galaxy
4. Corrin (female) on Coliseum
5. A horde battle against two Mii Brawlers, two Mii Gunners, and two Mii Swordfighters on Peach's Castle
6. Peach on Princess Peach's Castle
7. Final boss against Master Hand, as well as Crazy Hand in intensity 7.0 or higher, on Final Destination

Mario Baseball series

Mario Superstar Baseball

Artwork from Mario Superstar Baseball

Daisy is first seen in the opening cinematic of Mario Superstar Baseball. In one part, Daisy blacks out, along with Peach and Red Toad, believing that Mario is going to be tagged out as Donkey Kong tries to receive the ball, but Mario evades and scores nevertheless. Daisy is then seen fielding a ball, passes it over to Peach, and then to Yoshi to get Waluigi out at home plate. After Mario hits a walk-off home run, Daisy and others storm the field to celebrate.

For the Mario Superstar Baseball gameplay itself, she is a Balanced player and is one of the Team Captains overall. In Challenge Mode gameplay, she is the vice captain of Peach's team. Daisy shares good chemistry with both Peach and Luigi whilst having bad chemistry with Waluigi and Petey Piranha. Daisy's Star Skill is Flower Ball, which involves her throwing a gust of flower petals that hide the ball from the batter, or from the fielders if used while batting. Daisy's special talents are the Quick Throw and Sliding Catch. Daisy has good pitching, decent batting and average fielding, and low speed overall.

Mario Super Sluggers

Daisy is first shown in the opening cinematic of Mario Super Sluggers. Daisy is riding a yacht to the Baseball Kingdom with other characters, gazing upon it from the summit of a lighthouse. At Mario Stadium, Daisy brandishes a Wii Remote, which transforms into a baseball bat before hitting a ball thrown from Mario. Daisy and Red Toad later panic after Luigi gets body checked by Donkey Kong, though Daisy and the others celebrate when Luigi makes the final out. In the cinematic shown after defeating Bowser, Daisy celebrates with the crew before marching toward the entrance of the Baseball Kingdom, looking towards the sunset, and the lights come on at night. In the last cinematic, Daisy unknowingly escorts Bowser and his son to the Daisy Cruiser. As the characters have some desserts and beverages, Daisy stands at one table between Yoshi and Red Toad before a display of fireworks storm the night sky, surprising the witnesses. Daisy and the other characters retreat to Mario Stadium to witness a show of Bob-omb Derby.

Daisy is both a playable character and a team captain. Her baby counterpart, Baby Daisy, is also playable. Daisy shares chemistry with Birdo, in addition to retaining hers with Peach and Luigi. Daisy's batting and pitching stats remain unchanged, while her fielding was greatly improved and her running was slightly improved. Daisy's stamina is average and not as great as Birdo or Peach's. In Challenge Mode, Daisy is a member of Peach Monarchs, like in the previous game's Challenge mode. Daisy can be recruited in Challenge Mode by repairing the fountain in Peach Ice Garden and replace the Daisy statue, which Daisy transformed into, with a normal Toad statue. After being restored, Daisy reveals her last memory of Bowser Jr. casting a spell on Daisy while she was strolling in the garden's outskirts.

In Exhibition Mode, Daisy is the Team Captain for the Daisy Flowers. The icon for this team includes Daisy's crown, along with a floral wreath used as the border around it. Finally, her Mario Super Sluggers baseball card lists her Rookie Year as 1990, but her debut appearance, Super Mario Land, was released in 1989; 1990 instead refers to its PAL releases. This set of cards does not refer to her as a princess, even if she actually is one.

She battles Peach to take the Star Cup championship, and she takes on Waluigi to see if she can get the Brick Wall award for an unprecedented fifth straight year.

Icon of Daisy from Dr. Mario World

For this game, Daisy has received a new outfit which features a yellow lab coat with short sleeves, a white shirt, an orange skirt and a set of silver heels.

Her skill allows her to eliminate a specific object chosen by the player by tapping the object in question. Since version 2.3.0, the object(s) that is tapped will be cleared even if it requires multiple matches, such as any crate or objects in barrels. In stage mode, it is one object and an object must be tapped (empty spaces cannot be tapped). In versus mode, the area in which the skill clears differs in that it is increased based on level, where it targets a 1x1 area at level 1 and a 5x5 area at level 5. Prior to version 2.3.0, the skill's target is based on the top-left corner of the area but since then, it is based on the middle of the targeted area. Also in versus mode, when this skill is activated, the player can still move capsules around and tap the targeted area at a later time, potentially allowing for a consecutive use of this skill as only activating it will empty the skill meter.

The Sanei Super Mario All-Stars Daisy plush

The Super Mario series Daisy amiibo

In her initial release for Super Mario Land, a set of mini figures were released for the game, and Daisy got one of herself depicting her original design. A Mario Party 7 set of 4cm vinyl figures were released in 2005; each of the playable characters in the games were featured. Released in 2008, Daisy was featured in a group of six characters for the release of the 4-inch, series 2, vinyl, Super Mario figures by PopCo Entertainment. For volume 2 of the Furuta Super Mario Bros candy toys, Daisy was featured with her own mini-figure. This series of figures were shipped inside chocolate covered eggs, which needed to be opened and eaten to receive the toy inside. Daisy was featured in the BanPresto Super Mario Volume 2 Set of 6 PVC Figure Keychains. Daisy has also had a number of figures for the Mario Kart series, including a figure for Mario Kart DS, and multiple figures for Mario Kart Wii,, including a pull-back bike figure. She was also featured in the Super Mario Chess set as the second bishop on Mario's team, alongside Princess Peach.

Direct and released in April of 2019.

Daisy on the back of the soundtrack for Super Mario Land

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,

Yo, this is Princess Daisy

You're listening to Super Mario Compact Disco

Kick it

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. The song lyrics make several errors in relation to the games, however.

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 soundtrack for Super Mario Land released only in Japan, Daisy had her own song titled Oh! Daisy (Princess Daisy Theme).

General information

Physical description

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

Daisy is a young woman with large blue eyes, deep orange hairand fair skin, which is occasionally portrayed as having a slight tan depending on the game and artwork. She has an average height compared to other Super Mario characters, being shorter than Peach but generally depicted as taller than Luigi except in Super Mario Bros. Wonder; due to her similar body shape to Peach's, she is usually classified in the middle of weight classes in the Mario Kart series. She has shoulder-length, flipped hair with big parted bangs, round cheeks, a button nose, thin light-colored lips, two thick black lashes on each eye and long eyebrows.

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; in some games, there is a white petticoat underneath the dress. She wears short, white gloves with petal-shaped openings and dark orange high heels. Her jewelry consists of white, flower-shaped earrings and brooch with round green gems, and a gold crown with red jewels 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 Super Mario Land, her hair extended past her waist, her crown was red, she had black eyes and jewels, and her dress had a white waistband and dollop pattern. In NES Open Tournament Golf, she had blue eyes and jewels. From Mario Tennis to Mario Party 3, Daisy was given browner hair and a slightly darker skin tone, matching that of the male human characters; her crown had a yellow jewel on the front and blue jewels on the sides, and she was first shown wearing 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. The design reprised Daisy's original lighter skin and hair color and cut the hair to a shoulder-length style; also new were the gold crown and the main dress with orange accents, which made her design more consistently aligned with Peach's.

Alternate outfits

Daisy in her two-piece athletic uniform

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 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

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, with orange being her favorite. 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 to her father.

Daisy has claimed to be clumsy. She fell off stage while receiving her trophy in Mario Tennis, needs help after getting 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.

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.

Daisy executing her "Flower Swing" in Mario Super Sluggers

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.

Daisy executing her "Torpedo Strike" in Super Mario Strikers

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 just 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 sixth page of the official Mario Party 4 guide states that Luigi has a crush on Daisy. 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!"

LINE sticker of Peach and Daisy

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, 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, 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 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, while when she lands on an average shop, she asks why she needs to stop here and she feels disgusted. In Mario Tennis Aces, she felt that Waluigi and Wario were more suspicious than usual, 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.

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, although she still gives them both small portions of dessert compared to everyone else. In Fortune Street, Daisy sees no threat or significance in Bowser. 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.
