Princess Daisy is the princess of Sarasa Land, seemingly loved by Luigi. She wears a yellow dress and has gingery hair.
Super Mario Bros. Movie
This character is often wrongly applied to Princess Peach, in part because the Super Mario Bros. movie refers to the main princess-in-peril as "Princess Daisy" — not "Princess Toadstool", as Peach was then known in North America. Still, the movie also makes its Princess Daisy a love interest for Luigi, not Mario, but this is likely only because Luigi's younger, more open-minded character fit much better into the romance story, as opposed to Bob Hoskins' more cynical, world-weary Mario.
In the film, Daisy was portrayed by Samantha Mathis. Here, she has a piece of the meteorite that banished the dinosaurs to another dimension, and which King Koopa needs in order to conquer the humans' dimension. After Luigi becomes infatuated with her, Daisy is kidnapped by King Koopa's cousins, Iggy and Spike, and taken to Dinohattan. There, she learns that her father, the true king of Dinohattan, was turned into a fungus after being put in Bowser's de-evolutionary machine. Eventually, after the Mario Bros. defeat Koopa, Daisy stays behind in Dinohattan to help her now-restored father. The movie ends with Daisy showing up at Mario and Luigi's apartment to alert them that there's another problem going on, apparently setting up an eventual sequel, which never came.
Other Appearances
Daisy also appeared in the 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 Super Smash Bros. Melee, the player can change Peach's color template to that of Daisy's, giving Peach a yellow dress, brown hair and flower-shaped earrings. [edit]
Appearance
Princess Daisy in Mario Tennis In most of the games, this princess can be distinguished from Peach by the color of her hair: Daisy has brown hair and Peach has blonde hair, although Daisy sometimes has appeared as a redhead. The color of their dresses is also different: Daisy wears a yellow dress, while Peach's dress is pink. Initially, in Super Mario Land, Daisy looked exactly like Peach, but in a yellow dress and with flower-shaped earrings. Since then, however, Nintendo has slowly changed Daisy's appearance.[1] In Mario Tennis, her skin was more tanned, with a thinner face, but starting with Mario Party 4, her skin is pale as opposed to tan and she sports a potbelly which is more noticeable in her sporting outfits, along with shorter hair and more plump cheeks. The look has remained in subsequent games.
Relationships
Despite Daisy's resemblance to Peach, Nintendo has never officially stated if the two are related. The bio for Daisy's trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee states that Daisy is the tomboyish counterpart of Peach and that gossips suspect her of being Luigi's girlfriend. In Mario Party 6, if the player puts Daisy and Luigi on a team, the team will be called "Steady Sweeties." Also, in her tournament victory FMV in Mario Power Tennis, she addresses Luigi as "sweetie."
Trivia
The Super Mario Land manual on page #13 lists her as "Daisy Princess" even though they obviously meant to call her "Princess Daisy." Daisy's trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee has a mysterious third eye that players can view by zooming in on the back of her head. This error was fixed in PAL and US version 1.2. Daisy's trophy says that she appeared in Mario Golf for N64 and GBC. However, Nintendo obviously meant Mario Tennis for the N64 and GBC, or perhaps NES Open Tournament Golf for NES. 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 Golf Toadstool Tour, Daisy has a potbelly. This is later referenced to her extra weight (a 3 point difference) over Peach in Mario Kart DS. She is still lighter than Mario and Luigi though.
