'''Princess Daisy''', or casually '''Daisy''', is the princess of [[Sarasaland]] and a recurring character in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|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 [[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, ''Deijī-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]].<ref>Characters!!. [http://marioparty6.com/launch/ ''Mario Party 6'' official website]. Retrieved June 24, [[2008]]. "Peach missed female companionship until this girl with the orange hair moved into the Mushroom Kingdom."</ref> Daisy is known to be a tomboy, and her special abilities often deal with flowers. As such, her representations and personal emblems are often flowers of yellow, orange, and turquoise colorings. She shares a friendly rivalry with [[Princess Peach]], and is also good friends with [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]].
==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.<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.<ref>[http://www.camelot.co.jp/gimon/gimon13.html]</ref> She now appears in the majority of Mario games; most regularly as a playable character. Like other major characters, Daisy has a [[Baby Daisy|baby]] form of herself, who has appeared in recent titles as a playable character. Daisy 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 to date for the Mario series, and continues to do so regularly.
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]].
 
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.

===''Super Mario'' series===
[[Image:SMLDAISY.PNG|thumb|98px|Daisy in her debut. (''Super Mario Land'')]]
===''Super Mario Land'' series===
====''Super Mario Land''====
====''Super Mario Land''====
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.
[[File:SML Daisy Screenshot.png|thumb|200px|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 Kingdom|Birabuto]], [[Muda Kingdom|Muda]], and [[Easton Kingdom]]s, which end with a [[Fighter Fly|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|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''====
[[File:SMM Daisy.png|left|48x66px]]
Mario can transform into Daisy using a [[Mystery Mushroom]] in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. Her [[Costume Mario|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]],<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/amiibo/chart/index.html|title=amiibo・ソフト対応表 {{!}} 任天堂|publisher=Nintendo|language=ja|accessdate=August 14, 2024}}</ref> 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 {{button|wii|padup}} 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''====
[[File:SMR Shot - Daisy Rescue.png|100px|thumb|[[Mario]] finding Princess Daisy in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'']]
Daisy is a playable character in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', as of 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. Clearing short, consecutive courses advances Mario through spaces on a map of numbered areas. Daisy is unlocked once Area 30 is cleared; where she is found and curtsies Mario before thanking him. Daisy's unique ability is the [[Double Jump (airborne)|double jump]] - after jumping once, she can jump again in midair to boost her jump height and distance a bit.
 
A Daisy statue of 5🌟 rarity and a Gold Daisy statue of 6🌟 rarity can be acquired by playing through Remix 10 mode and getting them from the [[Bonus ? Block]] as building items used to decorate the Mushroom Kingdom. Upon defeating Bowser in World Tour mode's [[Bowser's Bob-ombing Run|World 6-4]] with Daisy, she will be seen rescuing Toad instead of Peach. As with the other playable characters, Daisy can be seen wearing her own headphones when the player mutes the game's music to listen to their own.
 
====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
[[File:SMBW Daisy Sledge Bro enemy.jpg||thumb|left|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 [[Yoshi (species)|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 Mario|Fire Daisy]], [[Elephant Mario|Elephant Daisy]], [[Bubble Mario|Bubble Daisy]], and [[Drill Mario|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)|Super Mario]]'' franchise.<ref>{{cite|author=Phillips, Tom|date=August 31, 2023|url=www.eurogamer.net/super-mario-bros-wonder-developers-discuss-nintendos-push-to-reinvent-its-classic-side-scrolling-formula|title=''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'' developers discuss Nintendo's push to reinvent its classic side-scrolling formula|publisher=Eurogamer|language=en|accessdate=September 2, 2023}}</ref>
 
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)|Super Mario]]'' Kodansha manga anthology takes from the plot of ''Super Mario Land''. Daisy and [[Princess Peach|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 ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf|Mario Open Golf]]'' story, Daisy plays golf with Mario, Luigi, and Peach. A disguised [[Bowser|King Koopa]] shows up to trick them into playing a high-stakes golf tournament with pro-golfers [[Tony (NES Open Tournament Golf)|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.
 
[[File:Bad Daisy.jpg|200px|thumb|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 (boss)|Witch]], who plays tricks on them such as transforming into Daisy. Wario manipulates Daisy into becoming「ワルデイジー」(''Warudeijī'', "Waldaisy"),<ref>{{cite|author=Kazuki, Motoyama|title=[[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|KC Deluxe]] vol. 20 - ''Super Mario Land 2: 6-tsu no Kinka 2''|page=68-71}}</ref> 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")<ref>{{cite|author=Kazuki, Motoyama|title=[[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|KC Deluxe]] vol. 20 - ''Super Mario Land 2: 6-tsu no Kinka 2''|page=106-107}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite|author=Kazuki, Motoyama|title=[[Super Mario (Kodansha manga)|KC Deluxe]] vol. 20 - ''Super Mario Land 2: 6-tsu no Kinka 2''|page=108-109}}</ref> 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|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 Pot]]s. 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 (Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3)|Genie]] to kidnap her. While kidnapped, Daisy receives a vision from Peach, who reveals that Daisy is in fact, an {{wp|fenshen|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 {{wp|Yonkoma|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.


====''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''====
===''Nintendo Comics System''===
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.
[[File:Daisytatanga.jpg|thumb|Daisy and Tatanga as they appear in the comic books]]
Daisy also appears in the [[Nintendo Comics System|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 "[[Earth|Real World]]."


===''Mario Golf'' series===
===''Mario Golf'' series===
====''NES Open Tournament Golf''====
====''NES Open Tournament Golf''====
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 supporting character in ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]''. She is Luigi's caddy, commenting on his golfing during play, similarly to Peach's relation to Mario.


====''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''====
====''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''====
[[Image:MGTTDaisyflower.PNG|thumb|210px|Daisy getting a nice hit. (''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'')]]
{{MGTT character infobox
Daisy made her first golfing debut in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' for the Gamecube. Statistics wise, 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. In Doubles Mode, Daisy and Peach are automatic partners; this combination would set a trend for later spinoff installments after this one.

Daisy is first seen in the opening cinematic of ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', participating with Mario, Luigi, and Peach in a freestyle golfing exhibition. Daisy makes her shot after Peach and Mario, and they rally in impression after Luigi's recent shot hits the flagpole of the hole. The four characters later stroll around in the wilderness with Bowser's Castle in the distance. Daisy covers her eyes after she sees an explosion from a distance, a result of one of Mario's shots causing Bowser to fumble a Bob-omb.


This is also the first game which Daisy wears her current "main sports outfit" for the majority of Gamecube, Wii, and DS Mario series' sports installments. More details can be found [[Princess_Daisy#Basic_Sports|here]].
Daisy is a playable character. She is available from the start, though Daisy's Star persona can be unlocked defeating her in a Character Match VS Challenge. Daisy is partnered with Peach in Doubles Mode automatically. Daisy is one of the more powerful characters, having a greater shot Distance than most other characters; this is also the first time where Daisy is physically stronger than Peach. Her shot height is also high, giving her an advantage to recover from traps and shoot over obstacles. Daisy has a good Spin, an above-average Impact, and below-average Control, causing her to slice the ball without proper adjustments. If the player gets a Nice Shot, Daisy's ball soars in the air in a burst of flower petals. If Daisy gets a par, she questionably gazes towards the camera. If she gets a Birdie, Daisy jumps for joy multiple times. If Daisy gets an Eagle or better, she jumps in excitement twice before waving in both directions and showing a peace sign. If Daisy gets a Bogey, she yawns, feeling tired and exhausted. If she gets a Double Bogey or worse, Daisy stomps low in frustration before raising her arms and sighing.
 
====''Mario Golf: Advance Tour''====
Daisy is mentioned in ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]''. Her name appears on the scoreboard amongst several other names. Her crown also appears in the Locker Room at Marion Clubhouse, though is mistakenly referred to as [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]]'s crown in international releases. Daisy can be seen herself in her icon from ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'', which appears when a {{iw|nwiki|Game Link Cable|Nintendo GameCube Game Boy Advance cable}} is connected.
 
====''Mario Golf: World Tour''====
Daisy is a playable character in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]''. She is available by default. Daisy is one of the stronger characters, with a drive distance of 213 yards by default. Daisy has a greater shot height than the other character, gaining an advantage when avoiding obstacles and completing certain challenge objectives. However, she needs extra adjustments for inclement weather. Daisy's trajectory is a draw, also having that in the way of tricky shots. Daisy has average sweet spot and control. Daisy retains the same outfit from ''Mario Tennis Open''. Daisy appears with other golfers in the Royal Room in Castle Club mode, where Daisy readily offers to play a round of golf with the player and comments on their achievements during tournaments. Daisy has a Star persona, who can be unlocked by defeating her in the [[Forest Course]] character challenge, and her drive distance is at a default of 270 yards. A Daisy costume can be unlocked by collecting all the [[Star Coin]]s in the Forest Course challenges, and the clothing set, golf clubs, and a ball themed after Daisy can be unlocked from purchasing them at the Clubhouse.
 
For her post-hole animations, if Daisy gets a par, she strolls around before greeting the front of the camera. If she gets a Birdie, Daisy spins around, where her outfit transforms into her default dress before giving the peace sign. If she gets a Bogey, Daisy slowly feels tired and stomps the ground in frustration before looking away. If Daisy gets a Double Bogey, she feels tired; the background darkens as the bright spotlight shines on Daisy sulking. While Daisy sulks, orange petals fall to the ground.
 
====''Mario Golf: Super Rush''====
Daisy is a playable character in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]''. She is the only non-Power character with 12 stamina, the highest amount in the game. Her [[Special Shot (Mario Golf: Super Rush)|Special Shot]] is the Blossom Strike and her [[Special Dash]] is the Pinwheel Dash. In this game, she wears a new golf outfit replacing the previous outfit used in both ''Mario Golf: World Tour'' and ''Mario Sports Superstars''.

[[Image:Falltripdaisy.png|thumb|150px|left|Daisy after receiving her trophy in ''Mario Tennis''.]]
[[File:MT64 Daisy Artwork.png|thumb|Artwork from the Nintendo 64 version of ''Mario Tennis'', also showing Daisy as she appeared throughout the Nintendo 64 games]]
Daisy made her reappearance about one decade after the release of ''NES Open Tournament Golf'', in the game ''[[Mario Tennis]]'', the first of many appearances.
Daisy is first shown in the opening scene of the [[Nintendo 64]] version of ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]''. She walks in line with the other characters, giving greeting signs. Daisy loses to [[Yoshi]] as the competition unfolds. Daisy is later caught off guard when Wario and Waluigi appear, feeling doubtful. When Bowser appears, the turmoil cools down, and Daisy and Peach laugh before jumping for joy. Daisy is also seen during [[Nina (Mario Tennis series)|Nina]]'s ending, awarding her the trophy with Peach.


Daisy made her reappearance about one decade after the release of ''NES Open Tournament Golf'', in the game ''[[Mario Tennis]]'', the first of many appearances. Statistics wise, 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).
Daisy is a playable character. She is billed a Technique player. Daisy is partnered with [[Birdo]] in doubles, or [[Luigi]] if he is being played. Daisy rarely misses when playing close to the net.


In the Game Boy Color version of ''Mario Tennis'', Daisy was not a playable character; but she is seen as a supporting character during certain events of the game.
Daisy is a supporting character in the [[Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)|handheld version]]. In Exhibition Mode, the mode featuring Daisy, she compliments the player upon their arrival to "Mario World." The close friendship between Daisy and Peach is shown with Daisy standing at her side in the throne room of [[Peach's Castle|her castle]] and at the [[Castle Court]].


====''Mario Power Tennis''====
====''Mario Power Tennis''====
''[[Mario Power Tennis (GCN)|Mario Power Tennis]]'', re-introduced Daisy's Technical style of play. Unlike the first ''Mario Tennis'', Daisy no longer had her clumsy personality; it was replaced with her refined energetic style taken from ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''. Daisy's [[Offensive Power Shot]], known as [[Wonder Flower]], would disorient opponents and knock them back if returned. Still, her [[Defensive Power Shot]], the [[Flowerbed Return]], allowed Daisy to fly over a growing flower bed to return any reachable shots. This is the second installment in the Mario series' spin-off category sports-wise where she is shown to use her special flower abilities.
Daisy is first shown in the opening cinematic of ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''. She returns the ball during a doubles match against Yoshi and Donkey Kong, though Daisy and her partner, Peach, lose to the princess duo. After completing a singles tournament, the trophy ceremony shows Luigi holding the trophy, while Daisy arrives on roller skates, ramming into Luigi, who spins. After ramming into Luigi a second time, Luigi fumbles the trophy, allowing Daisy to make a leap and snag the trophy. Luigi looks on, and Daisy poses for the camera with the trophy in her possession.
 
Daisy is a playable character. She is a Technique type and retains Peach as her partner in doubles matches. Daisy's [[Power Shot (Mario Tennis series)|Offensive Power Shot]] (named the [[Wonder Flower (move)|Wonder Flower]]) disorients opponents and knocks them back if the shot is returned. The color of the petals also determines the type of shot used on the ball. Her [[Power Shot (Mario Tennis series)|Defensive Power Shot]] (named the [[Flowerbed Return]]) allows her to fly over a growing flower-bed to return any reachable shots. Like all Technique types, she has great control on the ball. She also has the best serve of a Technique character, as well as good power, speed, and lunge stats. Her reach is average, resulting in limited net-play.
 
====''Mario Tennis Open''====
Daisy is a playable character in ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]''. She generally retains her characteristics from her appearance in ''Mario Power Tennis'', being more powerful than Peach at the expense of her movement speed and ball control. Daisy's racket, uniform, wristbands, and shoes are available for purchase in the [[Mario Tennis Open#Tennis Gear|shop]]. There is also a Daisy costume that's unlocked when the player collects 700+ points in [[Ring Shot]] with another player. Daisy wears an athletic mini-dress for her tennis outfit in this installment.
 
====''Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash''====
Daisy is playable character in ''[[Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash]]''. For the first time, Daisy is classified as an All-Around player. She has above average ball control, powerful flat shots, and below average move speed. Unlike in ''Mario Tennis Open'', Daisy reverts back to her primary, two-piece, athletic uniform in this game.
 
====''Mario Tennis Aces''====
[[File:Daisy - Aces Artwork (alt).png|thumb|left|upright=0.8|Artwork from ''Mario Tennis Aces'']]
Daisy is a playable character in ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]''. She is still classified as an All-Around character and wears the same two-piece athletic uniform from ''Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash''.
 
In Adventure Mode, Daisy firstly appears in the opening cinematic where [[Luigi]], [[Wario]] and [[Waluigi]] get possessed by an [[Lucien|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.

===''Mario Party'' series===
[[File:PeachDaisy_MP9.png|thumb|upright=1.4|Daisy and Peach holding a [[Dice Block]] from ''Mario Party 9''.]]
Daisy is a recurring playable character in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series. Her first appearance in the series is ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', where Daisy is a playable character in Party Mode and Minigame Mode only. Daisy has returned as a fully playable character in all subsequent installments, barring ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''. She is the only character in the [[Nintendo 64]] games to not have her own board.


===[[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]===
Daisy made her first ''Mario Party'' appearance is in ''Mario Party 3''. This game also marks the debut of Jen Taylor as the voice of Princess Daisy. After the player is prompted to earn the [[Star Stamp|Beauty Star Stamp]], Daisy intervenes and claims to be worthy of it. She coaxes the [[Millennium Star]] into agreeing to hand her the Star Stamp by making him swoon over her, but is stopped by the outraged player. The Millennium Star then decides to settle the issue on the [[Backtrack]] Duel Board. Bowser interrupts their departure to this duel board, but is smacked by Daisy and sent flying into the distance. Daisy attempts to justify this by saying he was in her way. The group heads off to the duel board afterward. When the player defeats Daisy, she bursts into tears and flees. In the game, Daisy's default duel board partner is a [[Snifit]].
====''Mario Party 3''====
[[Image:MP3Art.PNG|thumb|left|190px|Daisy coutering a pitch in the "Hey, Batter Batter!" mini-game. (''Mario Party 3'')]]
''[[Mario Party 3]]'' marked Daisy's first entry as a participant in the ''Mario Party'' series after her return in ''Mario Tennis (N64)''; her personality from that game endured, but her tomboyish side was more emphasized and she was notably boastful. 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.


====''Mario Party 4''====
In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', Daisy is one of the participants exploring the Party Cube which like previous installments included boards and corresponding minigames. Daisy receives her own constellation in her ending cutscene of story mode. The game also marks the first appearance of her current design.
In the 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 that's hosted inside it. Daisy agrees along with the rest of the crew, but as usual, [[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.
Daisy is a playable character in ''[[Mario Party-e]]''. She also appears in the [[minigame]] [[Daisy's Rodeo!]], riding and attmepting to stay on a mechanical bull in the likeness of Bowser. Daisy's card uses her design from ''Mario Party 4'', though the minigame designs Daisy similar to her appearances in the Nintendo 64 games.


This is also the first game in which Daisy is seen in her current main dress, along with [[Peach]].
''[[Mario Party 5]]'' marks the last game where Daisy was voiced by Jen Taylor, before she was replaced by Deanna Mustard for all subsequent titles until ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''.


====''Mario Party 7''====
In ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', Daisy appears in five of the [[Miracle Book]] pages: "Blooper, Ahoy", "Card Crazy", "Amp Attack", "Yoshi's Revenge", and "It Came From the Deep". This is also the first game in the ''Mario Party'' series where Deanna Mustard voices Daisy.
[[Image:DaisyMP7.PNG|thumb|220px|Daisy participating in the [[Deck Hands]] game. (''Mario Party 7'')]]
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 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 vacation. When Team Mode is selected, Daisy's automatic partner is Peach, and their team orb is the [[Flower Orb]].
In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', Daisy's special [[Orb]] is the [[Flower Orb]], which allows her to gain 3 coins for each space she passes with her next [[Dice Block]] roll. Daisy shares this orb with Peach.


====''Mario Party DS''====
In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', Daisy has a [[List of Collectibles from Mario Party DS|Character Figurine and Badge]] that can both be unlocked by completing Story Mode with her. In the minigame [[Mario's Puzzle Party]] returning from ''Mario Party 3'', Daisy maintains the mugshot she had in that game, marking the last time her Nintendo 64 design is used in a ''Mario'' game.
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 to challenge Bowser himself.


===[[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]===
In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', Daisy joins her friends to retrieve the [[Mini Star]]s stolen from Bowser. She has a [[List of constellations in Mario Party 9|constellation]] called "Princess Minor", which is purchasable at the Museum for 50 Party Points.
 
In ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', Daisy is playable in every mode aside from amiibo Party due to the lack of her own amiibo when the game was released.
 
In ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', Daisy has the ability to cause flower buds to bloom, an ability she shares with Peach and [[Toadette]]. Additionally, Daisy has a special Dice Block named [[Friendly Dice Block]]. In Toad Scramble, when players have Daisy in the party, she can roll a 3, a 4, a 5, or a number corresponding to the current number of allies the player has to add to the player's total roll.
 
In ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', Daisy's Dice Block has four 3's and two 4's.
 
In ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', alongside Mario and the rest of the crew, Daisy is invited by Koopa Troopa to adventure beyond the Warp Pipe to determine a new Super Star.
 
Daisy is a playable character in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]''. Her Jamboree Buddy ability is being able to purchase items from a shop at half their prices. It is also the first ''Mario Party'' title, and the second ''Mario'' game overall after ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'', where Giselle Fernandez voices Princess Daisy.
 
===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
Daisy was introduced to the ''Mario Kart'' series of spinoff installments, starting with ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''.

Like Peach, Daisy was placed in the middle-weight category. Additionally, Daisy had a personal kart dedicated to her called the [[Bloom Coach]]; the kart being an [[unlockable]]. Along with that, she had her own race course called the [[Daisy Cruiser]] (accessed in the Flower Cup's third level in Grand Prix mode). Additionally, the Daisy Cruiser can be seen drifting in the ocean on the [[Peach Beach]] and [[Yoshi Circuit]] courses.

[[Baby Daisy]], the baby counterpart of herself, makes her first appearance in the series as an unlockable character as well.  
The [[Prima Games]] guide states that Mario and Luigi saved Daisy from Tatanga in ''Super Mario Land'', which is erroneous because Luigi does not appear in the game.<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S.

Daisy is also one of the major influences for one of the sponsors, Princess Orange, which not only has a name suggestive of Daisy but features her flower emblem as part of the logo.

{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Daisy (SSBU)}}
Daisy is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. She was first announced during the {{iw|smashwiki|Electronic Entertainment Expo#E3 2018|E3 2018}} {{iw|smashwiki|Nintendo Direct}} alongside fellow newcomers {{iw|smashwiki|Inkling (SSBU)|Inkling}} and {{iw|smashwiki|Ridley (SSBU)|Ridley}}. Daisy is a {{iw|smashwiki|clone}} of Peach, meaning that her {{iw|smashwiki|attack}}s and abilities are very similar, but with some differences. Daisy still has different animations for standing and {{iw|smashwiki|dash}}ing, along with some aesthetic differences such as the use of a [[Toad (species)|Blue Toad]] instead of [[Toad]] himself or orange/yellow flower petal effects replacing Peach's pink heart effects on various attacks. Daisy uses a [[Toad (species)|Blue Toad]] for all of her {{iw|smashwiki|grab}}s as well as her {{iw|smashwiki|neutral special move}}, [[Toad (move)|Toad]]. Like Peach, she plucks [[Vegetable (move)|Vegetables]] from the ground for her {{iw|smashwiki|down special move}}, which have varying {{iw|smashwiki|damage}} outputs depending on their faces; there is a small chance of Daisy plucking a [[Bob-omb]] or {{iw|smashwiki|Mr. Saturn}} instead. Daisy's {{iw|smashwiki|up special move}} is [[Peach Parasol (move)|Daisy Parasol]], and this is her first time using one. Daisy is lighter than {{iw|smashwiki|Marth (SSBU)|Marth}}, [[Diddy Kong]], and {{iw|smashwiki|Lucina (SSBU)|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 {{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode: World of Light}}, she is recruited at {{iw|smashwiki|Dracula's Castle}} after her {{iw|smashwiki|False character|puppet fighter}} is defeated.
 
Daisy is one of the two {{iw|smashwiki|Fighter#Newcomers_and_veterans|newcomers}} without an introduction tagline, similarly to {{iw|smashwiki|Dark Pit (SSB4)|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.<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|author=Nintendo of America|date=June 13, 2018|url=youtube.com/watch?v=L93H7YC-83o|title=''Super Smash Bros.

The first six battles of Daisy's {{iw|smashwiki|Classic Mode (SSBU)|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:


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 which move over time. Daisy's flower emblem appears throughout the [[Dry Dry Ruins (course)|Dry Dry Ruins]] course, and as seen in the Daisy Circuit she has her own brand of candy. Daisy is the staff ghost character for the [[Coconut Mall]] and [[Daisy Circuit]] levels.

Daisy is commonly used to get good Time Trial records due to her good speed bonus.  That makes vehicles like the [[Mach Bike]] move slightly faster than normal. However, her speed bonus is also rivaled by [[Baby Luigi]], [[Baby Daisy]], and [[Funky Kong]].
===''Yakuman DS''===
Daisy is an unlockable character in ''[[Yakuman DS]]''. Statistically, Daisy has high luck, low defense and moderate attack, speed, and skill. Daisy never melds her tiles unless it is a "closed kan". She is the Rank 10 opponent faced in Ranking Mode.

[[File:MSBDaisy.jpg|thumb|left|x260px|Artwork from ''Mario Superstar Baseball'']]
Daisy made her first appearance on the baseball field in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' as a Balanced player; however, 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 (the [[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 the game's 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.
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_Monarchs#Mario_Superstar_Baseball|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.

Daisy appears again as one of the Team Captains for ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. Like the previous installment, ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', Daisy shares chemistry with Peach and Luigi, but now she also shares chemistry with Birdo. The Daisy Cruiser returns again also, but this time as a baseball stadium. Also, like last time, Daisy's special moves deal with her renowned flower abilities. For Daisy's ''Flower Swing'' (when she's up to bat), upon successful exectuion she swings around with flower petals all-about, and a flower like ring appears at the tip of her bat with a turquoise center at the tip of the bat, making it appear as her usual flower symbol. Daisy then hits the ball causing it to soar through the air, and once the ball's destination is set a patch of daises pops up from the ground surrounded by a small garden-fence, blocking any players from getting in range of catching the ball. For Daisy's ''Flower Ball'' (when she's up to pitch on the fielding end), Daisy winks at the camera before jumping straight up through a barrage of flowers, and she then spins before throwing the covered ball.
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 (baseball stadium)|Mario Stadium]], Daisy brandishes a {{iw|smashwiki|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#Mario_Super_Sluggers|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 cards|''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.

Daisy's jersey number is "9". Her [[Super Strike]] is [[Super Strike#Princess Daisy - Torpedo Strike|Torpedo Strike]].


Although Daisy is available from the start overall, she has to be added to the roster in Challenge Mode. In order to do this, the player must go through a set of tasks in order for her to be available. Once the player enters the [[Peach Ice Garden]], they talk to a Red Toad who informs them that Daisy has been turned into a statue by Bowser Jr., who has already made his way through the rest of the garden area. After completing other tasks, the player returns to see the Toad defending Daisy from a Boomerang Bro., who is trying to remove her for evil purposes. Once defeated, the Boomerang Bro. leaves, and the player convinces the Toad to move Daisy from the first panel to the panel where Toadsworth is standing. This fixes the fountain, and lets the player access the ball-field of the garden. The player then rescues Peach, and Daisy is turned back to her normal state. Afterwards, the player must obtain a Toad statue found in a bush to put it in the place of Daisy's current position. This once again lets someone leave the panel, but leaves the fountain working properly. Daisy then is able to join the overall roster to assist in saving the rest of the Baseball Kingdom from Bowser Jr.'s invasion attempts.

Her Super Ability is [[Crystal Smash!]], which covers the surrounding ground with sharp orange crystals, blasting away anyone in the range, while her Mega Strike involves her shooting into the air and generating a crystal gauntlet on one of her arms, which she uses to punch the ball towards the goal. In the game's Striker Challenge Mode, Daisy faces against both Peach and Waluigi. 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. Daisy has an alternative uniform colored emerald green that she uses if the opposition wears a similarly colored uniform to her primary orange uniform, both of which retain the number 9 she had on her original uniform in the first installment. In addition, her uniform is overlapped with pieces of armor

===''Dr. Mario World''===
===''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''===
[[File:DrMarioWorld - Icon Daisy.png|thumb|Icon of Daisy from ''Dr. Mario World'']]
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. Unlockable 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 was added to the roster of playable characters of ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' along with Wario and Waluigi on August 7, 2019, just like every other playable doctor she can be obtained randomly in the Staffing menu of the game.

===''Itadaki Street DS''===
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.
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]]''.


===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
===''Luigi's Mansion 3''===
[[Image:Daisy5.jpg|thumb|left|[[Princess Peach]] in her Daisy pallet design. (''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'')]]
Daisy makes a cameo appearance on a poster referencing ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]''.
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 is modeled after her ''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]'' appearance, as it is said to "compliment her spunky scoring strikes". Her stickers use artworks from ''Mario Party 7'' and ''Mario Smash Football''. The ''Mario Party 7'' sticker, is large in size and gives +27 attack to leg attacks. It is only usable by Peach and [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]. The ''Mario Smash Football'' sticker'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.  


It should be noted that like other characters, Peach once again had a recolor that mimics the pallet design of Daisy's model. When selecting the random button for the [[player]]'s name and the stage's name, Daisy's name pops up by chance as '''DAISY'''; other character names appear as well.

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


Later on in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]'', Daisy wears orange midriff-baring battle armor along with orange shorts and orange and turquoise cleats; this is due to the increased intensity of the game. Aside from the increased amount of protective equipment, the outfit includes numerous flower patterns, and is available in two colors; this is due to the necessary change of colors when certain teams with similar team colors face off. Daisy's soccer number can be found on the back of her armor. Daisy appears in this outfit for her [[Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' to show off her spunky nature.
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 (album)|soundtrack for Super Mario Land]] released only in Japan, Daisy had her own song titled ''Oh! Daisy (Princess Daisy Theme)''.


====Kart Racing====
==General information==
As motorbikes were a newly added feature to ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Daisy wears a biker outfit if riding on any of them (along with [[Princess_Peach#Biker_Outfit|Peach]] and [[Rosalina#Athletic_Wear|Rosalina]]). However, Daisy's biker outfit has a white and yellow color combination, and as usual, includes her flower jewelry as seen in her current main outfit. Daisy's biker outfit also includes a refined version of her floral gloves, yellow biker boots, and 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.

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-brown 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 eyes with two thick, black lashes and long, curved eyebrows. Her lips vary from light rose to orange in color or having orange lipstick.


====Winter Wear====
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 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:Msowg_daisy_skiing.png|250px|thumb|right|Daisy attempting the Downhill Skiing event. (''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'')]]
As the name implies, ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'' involves many snow based events. As a result, Daisy wears a winter outfit that is exclusive to all of the game's events. The contents include white skate boots with yellow lacing, white winter gloves, and the usual flower jewelry including crown. Additionally, the outfit includes long orange sleeves with a white line accenting each arm. It also lengthens out into a mini-dress with a single white hoop at the bottom. As it is a winter outfit, under the mini-dress is a pair of tight orange winter pants accented in the same way as her sleeves.  


Other female participants in ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'' wear winter clothing for this installment as well. [[Princess_Peach#Winter_Outfit|Princess Peach]] wears an outfit in the same fashion as Daisy. The overall design of Peach's outfit is similar to Daisy's; however, differences include color scheme and the obligatory elements to match her unique persona.
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.  


===Personality===
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.
[[Image:ItadakiDaisy.PNG|thumb|160px|left|Artwork of Daisy for ''Itadaki Street DS''.]]
 
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 ''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 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.  
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.


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.
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 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. ''Mario Strikers Charged Football'' shows her tomboy attitude to a new high, as her competitive drive is pushed much further compared to normal. It has even been said by Deanna Mustard, her voiceover, that the ''Mario Football'' series is where her personality shows best. 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. 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.


==Powers and Abilities==
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.
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.  


===Special Abilities===
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:Daisydaisybat.png|thumb|250px||left|Daisy's "Flower Swing" in use. (''Mario Super Sluggers'')]]
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 ''[[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. This is also displayed again in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''; her pitch covers the ball in flower petals, but her bat summons a small daisy garden around where the ball is going to land, shielding off the opposing team from catching the ball.[[Image:Specialability.PNG|thumb|250px|Daisy using her special ability ([[Crystal Smash!]]) from ''Mario Strikers Charged Football''.]]
====Alternate outfits====
[[File:Daisy_Artwork_-_Mario_&_Sonic_at_the_Olympic_Games.png|thumb|right|Daisy in her two-piece athletic uniform.|100px]]
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 ''[[Mario Smash Football]]'', 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 Football]]'' 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.
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.


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.
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''.


===Standard Abilities===
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.
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]].


==Interactions with Other Characters==
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.
===Birdo===
{{main|Birdo}}


Daisy and Birdo have been shown from time to time to interact with each other. In ''[[Mario Tennis (N64)]]'', when choosing Daisy in the double tournament mode, her default partner will be Birdo. Among the team names they have shared, the team name, "Gallopin' Gal-Pals" from the Mario Party series, is the biggest hint at their interactions. In ''Mario Super Sluggers'' they even have good chemistry with one-another, a trait only characters that play together well and have a ''buddy relationship'' share.
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.


===Luigi===
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.
{{main|Luigi}}


[[Image:DaisyTrophy.png|thumb|left|250px|Scene of the trophy ceremony for Daisy. (''Mario Power Tennis'')]]
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.
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. 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]]'' and ''Mario Super Sluggers'', 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, along with another of [[Baby Luigi]] swinging [[Baby Daisy]]. Arguably the greatest evidence for any existing relationship between Luigi and Daisy is in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' film, released in 1993. Luigi and Daisy were quite clearly depicted as being infatuated with one another in this movie.  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"''.


It was stated in the official ''Mario Party 4'' guide that Luigi has quite the crush on Daisy, and that it's rumored there's an attraction between them. 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.
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.


===Mario===
[[File:Daisy SSBUltimate.png|thumb|Daisy in her ''Super Smash Bros.'' dress|220px]]
{{main|Mario}}
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.


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 and in Mario Super Sluggers. Regardless, Daisy and Mario have been officially stated to be good friends.
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.


===Peach===
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.

Daisy and Peach have been portrayed to be best friends since Daisy's big comeback  appearance in ''Mario Tennis'' for the Nintendo 64. It has been stated that Peach missed female companionship until Daisy's arrival in the Mushroom Kingdom.<ref>[http://marioparty6.com/launch/]</ref> Soon after in Mario Tennis (GBC), Daisy is commonly alongside Peach in future spinoff installments for the Mario series; in most cases, Daisy and Peach will commonly be a team if something involves using a partner approach to take care of a certain task. 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.  
===Personality===
[[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.


While Daisy and Peach are considered to be best friends, they are often rivaled against each other in games like ''Mario Smash Football'' (where the two face-off in the game's opening) and ''Mario Strikers Charged Football'' (where the two go up against each other in Challenge Mode). Like Luigi, the two share good chemistry in the Mario Baseball series. Daisy also appears as the second member of Peach's team in Challenge mode for ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' as the team's secondary captain.  Nintendo's ''Mario Power Tennis'' website said that Daisy is Peach's "sister in arms", a term used to describe a close friendship as Daisy and Peach are not literally sisters. In the ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and ''Mario Kart Wii'' official guides published by Prima and licensed by Nintendo, Daisy is said to be Peach's cousin. This statement is yet to be used in any games, however.
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.


Additionally, in ''Mario Super Sluggers''' Challenge Mode, the game's storyline shows proof of Peach & Daisy being best friends. This can be seen once Peach joins the overall game roster (after completing the certain task to trigger said result). Once this is done, the first case she brings up is about Daisy's welfare. Once Peach is informed of Daisy being turned into a statue by Bowser Jr. (which by this time, the curse breaks and Daisy returns to her normal self), she calls on Mario and the other teammates to help her find Daisy. Upon finding Daisy to rescue her entirely, the situation gets worse in terms of the [[Peach Ice Garden]] flooding again. Daisy suggests to Peach and her friends to find a respectable weight alternative and bring it back to where she was standing (so that the locale wouldn't flood any further). When Peach meets Daisy for the first time (after Daisy returns to her normal self) a small set of dialogue follows. Once all of the tasks that involve Daisy are complete, Daisy is finally able to join Peach's team afterwards (the [[Peach Monarchs]]) vowing to help obliterate Bowser's gang who invaded the Baseball Kingdom and turned her into a statue.
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''.


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.
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.
{{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.
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.


===Toads===
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>
''Main articles'': [[Toad (Species)]], [[Toadsworth]], and [[Toadette]]  


Unlocking Daisy in Challenge Mode of ''Mario Super Sluggers'' is a long process which shows large interactions between [[Toad]], [[Toadette]], and [[Toadsworth]]. The Red Toad found in the gardens area of the [[Peach Ice Garden]] is the first to explain to the player that the statue of Daisy is actually Daisy herself who has been turned to stone, "Bowser Jr. turned Princess Daisy into a statue!". Once the player leaves to investigate he says he will stay to protect her. When the player returns later, the same Toad is defending Daisy from a [[Boomerang Bro.]] who is trying to trash the statue to make room for the arrival of more enemies. The Red Toad tells the Boomerang Bro. to not dare lay a finger on Princess Daisy, showing he has large compassion for her. Once the player defeats the Boomerang Bro., the Toad assumes they will be staying to protect her, but is informed the player wants to move the statue to another location. The Toad responds by saying, "NO WAY, DUDE! NUH-UH! What if you drop it and she breaks into a kajillion pieces? HUH?". Once reassured, he tells the player they can remove the statue as long as they promise not to drop her. Later on when the player rescues Peach from Bowser Jr., Toadette struggles to inform Peach of the bad news about Daisy, but Toadsworth tells Toadette to pull herself together and then blatantly informs Peach of the situation.
===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''.


Aside form the above events, Daisy is often seen next to Toad in Mario Baseball series cut-scenes, and Toadette and Daisy share positive team names from the ''Mario Party'' series.
[[File:Daisydaisybat.png|thumb|left|upright=1.1|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 (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]].


===Waluigi===
[[File:Daisy Torpedo Strike.png|150px|thumb|Daisy executing her "Torpedo Strike" in ''Super Mario Strikers'']]
{{main|Waluigi}}
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]].


[[Image:DaWaMP4.PNG|thumb|left|200px|Daisy (in the background) and Waluigi in the ''Mario Party 4'' opening.]]
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.
[[Waluigi]] and Daisy started appearing as regulars in the Mario series around the same time, and due to this they are often placed around one-another. In games like ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', the two share bad chemistry, and in ''Mario Strikers Charged Football'', Daisy goes up against Waluigi in Challenge Mode. They share team names from Mario Party such as: "Awkward Date", "Double Facers", and "Skinny Stars". It was stated in the official ''Mario Party 4'' guide that Waluigi happens to have a crush on Daisy, which could cause trouble at the party. It was also stated in the same guide that Waluigi suffers the same shortcomings as Wario, aside from his soft spot for Daisy.

===Relationships===
[[Image:Mss hrc dc entrance.png|thumb|200px|Daisy escorting Bowser and Bowser Jr. into the Daisy Cruiser. (''Mario Super Sluggers'')]]
====Friends====
Characters like [[Toadette]], [[Yoshi]], Toad and others playable throughout the Mario series all seem to, at one point or another, suggest they have some sort of connection with Daisy in the Mario series. Team names from Mario Party such as: Shopping Buddies, Tomboy Trouble, and more, suggest a positive combination.  
[[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 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!"


For example, in one of the ''Mario Super Sluggers'' cutscenes, she was seen eating with Yoshi at the Daisy Cruiser before the fireworks show started. Also, prior to that, Daisy invited everyone in the Baseball Kingdom to the final festivities on the Daisy Cruiser. Inside everyone ate treats like cake and ice-cream, even Bowser and his son, who Daisy personally escorted inside regardless of the fact that Bowser Jr. had earlier turned her into a statue.
[[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.


==Development==
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.
[[Image:MTArt.PNG|110px|thumb|Daisy in the locker rooms. ''Mario Tennis (N64)'']]
===Early Design===
When Daisy first appeared in the ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' series, she had long orange hair, a flower motif to her yellow and white dress, a pale skin tone, and a rose colored crown. Daisy had a white belt at her waist, and the border was white, had almost a Hershey-Kiss shape with a small white dot over top of each point. 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.


===Cultural Relevance===
[[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.
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.  


===Sports Attire===
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.
[[Image:Daisytour.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Daisy watching a tennis match. (''Mario Tennis'')]]
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 for most Mario series' sports installments for the Gamecube, Wii, and DS. While riding the bikes in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', she will wear a biker outfit, a trait shared with [[Princess Peach]] and [[Rosalina]].


===Character Relevance===
====Enemies====
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.
[[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>


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 their similar body composition.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', [[Wendy|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.


===Graphical Mis-Haps===
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.<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]].
Whether 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 most common mistake being the number of flips at the back of Daisy's hair changing anywhere from four to nine; most often there are eight. The second most reoccurring mistake would be the princess' crowns having the jewel detailing on both the outside and inside of them.


*The title screen 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. 
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.
*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 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 (GCN)|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. These lines can be found on other characters as well.
*In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' for the Wii, while playing as Daisy in the [[Dream Platform]] if the player moves Daisy forward at the highest speed, there is an opening behind her head where it is completely clear as if there are no polygons between that area of Daisy's model.

==Appearances in Other Media==
|Playable character
[[Image:Daisytatanga.jpg|thumb|Daisy and Tatanga as they appeared in the comic books.]]
|January 23, 2020
===Comics===
|Arcade
Daisy also appeared in the [[Nintendo Comics System|Game Boy comic books]], where, as in ''Super Mario Land'', she was the unwilling prisoner of Tatanga, hoping that Mario would eventually rescue her. In these comics, Daisy, Mario, and Tatanga, were released from the world of video games to go on adventures in the "[[Real World]]".
 
===Manga===
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.
 
===Music===
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. 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 [[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.
[[Image:MATHIS.jpg|thumb|left|Princess Daisy, as depicted in the film.]]
 
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.
 
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.
 
==Portrayals==
Daisy is voiced/portrayed by:
 
*[[Samantha Mathis]] in the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (movie)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' movie.
*[[Kate Fleming]] in ''Mario Tennis'' for the Nintendo 64; never continued her role.
*[[Jen Taylor]] in ''Mario Party 3'', ''Mario Party 4'', and ''Mario Party 5''; a fill-in until a replacement would be found.
*[[Deanna Mustard]] in any Mario series' installments as of 2004 to the present. Her debut installment in terms of portraying Daisy is the ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' game.
 
==Trivia==
*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."
*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. Melee''.
*In ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', Daisy's MVP section misspelled Sarasaland as "Sarasara Land"; this is likely a translation mistake.
*Daisy's emblem/representation has been an orange daisy with a teal center, instead of the common white shazta daisy with a yellow center.
*Despite not making an appearance, Daisy is indirectly referrenced in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. After crossing the finish line in the [[Loopdeswoop Galaxy]], one of the [[Penguin]]s will tell Mario or Luigi that their performance must impress "the princesses."
*Daisy debuted on April 21, 1989 in Japan. The April birthstone is the sapphire (which is found on her earrings, brooch, and crown in earlier games and some handhelds), and its birth flower is the daisy.
*Daisy is the first major Mario character not created by Shigeru Miyamoto, and the only major female character in the ''Mario'' series not created by him.

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.[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

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.[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

Super Mario series

Super Mario Land

Princess Daisy and Mario running to their ship after Mario's defeat of Tatanga in World 4-3.
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

Princess Daisy's Costume Mario Sprite from 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,[5] 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 +Control Pad up 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

Rescuing Daisy in Super Mario Run.
Mario finding Princess Daisy in Super Mario Run

Daisy is a playable character in Super Mario Run, as of 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. Clearing short, consecutive courses advances Mario through spaces on a map of numbered areas. Daisy is unlocked once Area 30 is cleared; where she is found and curtsies Mario before thanking him. Daisy's unique ability is the double jump - after jumping once, she can jump again in midair to boost her jump height and distance a bit.

A Daisy statue of 5🌟 rarity and a Gold Daisy statue of 6🌟 rarity can be acquired by playing through Remix 10 mode and getting them from the Bonus ? Block as building items used to decorate the Mushroom Kingdom. Upon defeating Bowser in World Tour mode's World 6-4 with Daisy, she will be seen rescuing Toad instead of Peach. As with the other playable characters, Daisy can be seen wearing her own headphones when the player mutes the game's music to listen to their own.

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.[6]

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 tricks Daisy into giving in to her inner devil over her angel, becoming「ワルデイジー」(Warudeijī, "Waldaisy").
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"),[7] 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")[8] 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.[9] 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.

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."

After completing a singles tournament, the trophy ceremony shows Luigi holding the trophy, while Daisy arrives on roller skates, ramming into Luigi, who spins. After ramming into Luigi a second time, Luigi fumbles the trophy, allowing Daisy to make a leap and snag the trophy. Luigi looks on, and Daisy poses for the camera with the trophy in her possession.

Daisy is a playable character. She is a Technique type and retains Peach as her partner in doubles matches. Daisy's Offensive Power Shot (named the Wonder Flower) disorients opponents and knocks them back if the shot is returned. The color of the petals also determines the type of shot used on the ball.

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.

Mario Party series

The Millennium Star then decides to settle the issue on the Backtrack Duel Board. Bowser interrupts their departure to this duel board, but is smacked by Daisy and sent flying into the distance. Daisy attempts to justify this by saying he was in her way. The group heads off to the duel board afterward. When the player defeats Daisy, she bursts into tears and flees.

Meanwhile, the Super Mario Strikers sticker is at medium size, gives +5 attack to leg attacks, and can be equipped by any fighter.

Daisy appears as separate trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. In the former version, Daisy's trophy depicts her in her tennis outfit from Mario Tennis Open. She is also mentioned in Wendy O. Koopa's trophy information, where it is stated that Wendy sees her as a rival. In the latter version, Daisy has three different trophies. One is based on her standard appearance in her yellow and orange dress, dedicated to her debut in Super Mario Land and her first playable appearance in Mario Tennis. Another trophy is based on her appearance in the Mario Baseball series in her sports outfit. The third depicts her appearance as Baby Daisy. It should also be noted that Daisy has the largest amount of trophies (four) than any other non-playable character featured in this iteration of the Super Smash Bros. series. Additionally, a Daisy wig can be unlocked as an accessory for Mii Fighters.

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.[11]

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

Yakuman DS

Daisy is an unlockable character in Yakuman DS. Statistically, Daisy has high luck, low defense and moderate attack, speed, and skill. Daisy never melds her tiles unless it is a "closed kan". She is the Rank 10 opponent faced in Ranking Mode.

Mario Baseball series

Mario Superstar Baseball

Artwork of Princess Daisy for 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.

Her Super Ability is Crystal Smash!, which covers the surrounding ground with sharp orange crystals, blasting away anyone in the range, while her Mega Strike involves her shooting into the air and generating a crystal gauntlet on one of her arms, which she uses to punch the ball towards the goal. In the game's Striker Challenge Mode, Daisy faces against both Peach and Waluigi. 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. Daisy has an alternative uniform colored emerald green that she uses if the opposition wears a similarly colored uniform to her primary orange uniform, both of which retain the number 9 she had on her original uniform in the first installment. In addition, her uniform is overlapped with pieces of armor

Daisy was added to the roster of playable characters of Dr. Mario World along with Wario and Waluigi on August 7, 2019, just like every other playable doctor she can be obtained randomly in the Staffing menu of the game. 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.

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.[15] A Mario Party 7 set of 4cm vinyl figures were released in 2005; each of the playable characters in the games were featured.[16] 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.[17] For volume 2 of the Furuta Super Mario Bros candy toys, Daisy was featured with her own mini-figure.[18] 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.[19] Daisy has also had a number of figures for the Mario Kart series, including a figure for Mario Kart DS,[20] and multiple figures for Mario Kart Wii,[21], including a pull-back bike figure.[22] 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.

The back cover for Super Mario Land (album)
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

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

Daisy is a young[25] woman with vivid blue eyes and deep orange-brown hair.[26] She has an average height compared to other Super Mario characters, being shorter than Peach[27] 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 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. In some games there is a white petticoat underneath the dress. 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.[28]

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.[29]

Alternate outfits

Artwork of Princess Daisy for Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (reused for Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games Arcade Edition
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.

Artwork of Princess Daisy in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
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,[30] with orange being her favorite.[31] 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.[32]

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 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!"

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,[33][34] 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,[32] 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

Waluigi and Daisy witness something in the distance in the opening cinematic.
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,[35] while when she lands on an average shop, she asks why she needs to stop here and she feels disgusted.[36] In Mario Tennis Aces, she felt that Waluigi and Wario were more suspicious than usual,[37] 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.[38]

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.[39] 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.

Profiles and statistics

Main article: 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.

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!" – Hamm & Rudolf GmbH, Frankfurt (1994).
