Princess Daisy
- “Everybody says that I'm the fairest of them all!”
- —Princess Daisy, Mario Party 3
Princess Daisy (Japanese: Deiji-Hime) is the princess of Sarasa Land, who first appeared in the game Super Mario Land. Daisy's current place of residence is in the Mushroom Kingdom, although she still travels to and from Sarasa Land; via her cruiser. Daisy is known to be a tomboy, and her special abilities often deal with flowers. She shares a friendly rivalry with Princess Peach, and is known to be in relationships with characters like Luigi, Mario, and more.
Years after the release of Super Mario Land Daisy started appearing in more and more Mario games; this was due to the lack of human characters in the series. She now appears in the majority of Mario games; most regularly as a playable character. She was created by Gunpei Yokoi, Shigeru Miyamoto's mentor. Yokoi passed away eight years after her debut appearance, and three years before she appeared as a major character in another Mario game. It is possible that Daisy's re-debut into the Mario series was part of a tribute to his passing. Daisy has appeared in over thirty games, and has continued to for almost eight years straight and running.
Biography
The Invasion of Sarasaland
During the events of Super Mario Land, Sarasaland, a neighboring desert nation friendly to the Mushroom Kingdom, was invaded by the space invader Tatanga. His armies conquered the country, and Daisy, the leader of Sarasaland, was kidnapped by him. Mario attempted to rescue the princess and liberate Sarasaland. Mario had to travel through each kingdom of Sarasaland, fighting new enemies at the end of each one. Every time he defeated a level's Boss, what appeared to be Daisy would thank the hero; however it turned out that common enemies were simply disguised as Daisy, forcing Mario to explore another kingdom. In the end Mario found the real Daisy being held captive by Tatanga. After a long battle in his plane, the Sky Pop, Mario was able to defeat Tatanga and rescue Daisy. The game ends with Mario and Daisy flying away in the Sky Pop.
Although Daisy did not actually appear in the sequel, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, the game revealed that Wario had, in fact, hired Tatanga to kidnap Princess Daisy in the previous game. Wario used Princess Daisy's kidnapping as bait to lure Mario to Sarasaland. This gave Wario the time to conquer Mario Land while Mario was distracted.
Minor Help
For a long 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. After that, she appeared as a clerk in the game Mario is Missing. Like other people Luigi spoke to throughout the game, Daisy provided Luigi with information about the area the green plumber was at, or information on the artifact Luigi was holding. This was mostly for educational purposes, as the game was basically just that.
Becoming Part of the Gang
Daisy made her reappearance in the Marioverse about one decade after her appearance in Open Tournament Golf and Mario is Missing, in the games Mario Tennis and Mario Party 3. In Mario Party 3, these traits endured, but her tomboyish side was greatly emphasized, and she was rather boastful about herself. In fact, proving that she was not simply a "dainty princess", Daisy actually 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 would appear and butter 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 that decision. Afterwards, the Millennium Star decided the player and Daisy should duel on the Backtrack Board for the stamp. Daisy has appeared in every Mario Party and Mario Tennis console game since. According to a scene in Mario Party 3's story mode, Daisy isn't the only ruler of Sarasaland. Once the player defeats her and wins the beauty stamp, she will run off while shouting, "Augh! I don't believe this! I've never lost--not even to my dad!" However, this may actually mean that she never lost to her dad when she was younger, and that there is no longer a king of Sarasaland.
Flower Power Revealed!
Daisy missed the chance to appear in Mario Golf for the Nintendo 64, but she made it to the next installment, Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour. Daisy was one of the strongest characters in the game. Surpassing power character Wario, Daisy had 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 with a tail of flower petals. This Meant that, Toadstool Tour, was actually the first game Daisy used any sort of flower power.
Daisy also missed quite a few of the past Mario Kart titles; however, she made her racing debut in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Daisy was Princess Peach's automatic partner, and she shared the best defensive special item in the game, the Heart. Daisy also has her own level in Double Dash called the Daisy Cruiser. The Daisy Cruiser can be seen drifting in the ocean on the Peach Beach course. Daisy also had a kart dedicated to her in this game called the Bloom Coach.
Return of the Flower Power!
Daisy's next appearance in the Mario Tennis series, Mario Power Tennis, introduced her Technique style. This is one of the first games where she is shown to be interested in flowers. Unlike the first Mario Tennis Daisy no longer had her old style; in fact, it was completely replaced with a new style seen in her tournament winning cut-scenes. She and the rest of the Mario gang made their first appearance on the baseball field in Mario Superstar Baseball. For the first time Daisy was a Balanced player that leaned more towards Technique. This was also the first game that noted Daisy being physically stronger than Peach.
Dual-Screen Daisy
Princess Daisy made a return to the Mario Kart series in her inclusion to Mario Kart DS as an unlockable player. This was Daisy's second hand-held appearance since her debut to the Mario series. Daisy is a lightweight character unlike in Double Dash, where only small characters were light. She has good acceleration and top speed, great drifting and item using, but low handling.
Daisy made her second Nintendo DS appearance in Mario Hoops 3 on 3. In Mario Hoops, Daisy's Special Shot is the Flower Shot. Like previous sports titles, Daisy once again has her own stage, the Daisy Garden - a garden where two Petey Piranhas replace normal basketball hoops. This makes it hard to dunk, but easy to shoot. She also appeared in the Dragon Quest crossover game, Itadaki Street DS. She was a playable character, but her non-playable role had something to do with the Mario Stadium from Mario Superstar Baseball.
Bend It Like Daisy
Once again Daisy joins up with the Mario gang; this time, to play soccer. Daisy was introduced to the Mario Strikers series in the first installment, Super Mario Strikers. In this game, Daisy was an Offensive Captain who wore the number "09" jersey and possessed the ability to perform the Super Strike called the Torpedo Strike.
She also appears in the sequel, Mario Strikers Charged. Now qualified as a defensive character, she has a personal Super Ability and a Mega Strike. Her Super Ability is Crystal Smash!, which covers the surrounding ground with Crystals, blasting away anyone who is near. In her Mega Strike, Daisy summons a crystal gauntlet around her hand, and punches the ball towards the goal. In this games Striker Challenge Mode, Daisy faces up 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.
Beijing Medals & a False Invite
In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Daisy appears as, for the first time, a speed character. Being well balanced for many event types, Daisy is a good choice for a variety of play. Not only does Daisy appear in the Wii version, but also the DS version. Although the game doesn't offer a selection of events most complementary to special techniques, there are events that use them. In her fencing special her flower power propels her forward, allowing her to jab rapidly. In her table tennis special, she spins around with flower petals surrounding her paddle, and knocks the ball back covered in petals with great speed.
Not only did Daisy compete in the Olympics, she also joins the compact capable gang in Mario Party DS. Daisy is informed by Mario, along with the rest of the characters, that she has received an invitation to go to Bowser's castle. They all tentatively accept the invite, but are trapped and shrunken down to size where they then start a friendly rivalry to see who will be the next super-star.
Brawl Doll
Although Daisy did not make a playable appearance in the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl, she does appear as a number of stickers and her own trophy. Daisy's trophy, Strikers Daisy, is modeled after her Mario Strikers Charged appearance; as it is said to "complement her spunky scoring strikes". Her stickers use artworks from Mario Party 7, Super Mario Strikers, and Mario Superstar Baseball. The Mario Party 7 sticker is titled, Peach & Daisy, it's size is large, it's area of effect is leg, it's attribute is attack +27, and it is usable by Peach and Zelda. The Super Mario Strikers sticker is titled, Daisy, it's size is medium, it's area of effect is leg, it's attribute is attack +5, and it is usable by all characters. The Mario Superstar Baseball sticker is titled, Daisy, it's size is small, it's area of effect is body, it's attribute is attack +9, and it is usable by Peach and Luigi. It should be noted that like other characters, Peach once again has a recolor that mimics the pallet design of Daisy's model. Also, in the randomizer for the players name, Daisy's name pops up by chance in all caps just as other miscellaneous characters do.
Drivin' Miss Daisy
Daisy appears as a Middle-Weight unlockable character in Mario Kart Wii. Daisy's own new course in the Star Cup called Daisy Circuit, is speculated to be her kingdom of Sarasa Land; which would mark its return appearance. The Daisy Circuit is adorned with various flowery motifs, luxury cruise ships, and large golden statues. Like Peach, Daisy swaps her dress for a new biker suit whenever driving in any of the motorbike vehicles. Baby Daisy, the infant form of herself, makes her first appearance in the series as an unlockable character. Daisy shares the Middle-Weight group of karts and bikes, but all in her personal style.
The Future
Daisy has been confirmed to be a playable character in the future release of Mario Super Sluggers.
Physical Description and Traits
Daisy's current appearance has her in a yellow and orange dress. The dress includes flower accessories throughout the outfit. The dress also includes flower based frills on her sleeves and neck. At the bottom of the dress are two orange hoops, and at her waist are two orange flaps of cloth. She also wears short white gloves with flower frills at the wrist, and orange dress shoes. Depending on the game, Daisy's hair can be anywhere in-between shades of brown and red, though it has been stated she is a red-head. Daisy's hair style consists of two parted bangs, and shoulder length hair that frills up at the end like the Mario Bros. hair does. Daisy is one of the taller characters, being passed only by larger scaled characters like Waluigi and Bowser. Daisy and Peach appear to have similar measurements when it comes to their bodies, but Daisy has been shown to be one of the stronger out of many characters. Like every other main Human Mario character, Daisy has a shade of blue eyes.
In Mario sports titles, she is depicted in orange sports shorts, a yellow sleeveless shirt, and the usual flower accessories. Daisy appears much more tomboyish when compared to Peach. The primary exceptions to this were in Mario Tennis on the Nintendo 64, in which Daisy, like Peach, is wearing an orange sports dress with the usual flower brooch and earrings. Another big difference is that Daisy does not wear a crown in this game, whereas Peach does. Later on, in the game Mario Hoops 3 on 3, the player can unlock a refined version of Daisy's Mario Tennis short skirt sports outfit.
Also, in Super Mario Strikers, Daisy wears a 2-piece soccer outfit; this created some controversy among fans. In the sequel, Mario Strikers Charged, Daisy appears in an outfit similar, but she now wears protective gear as well; this is due to the increased intensity of the game. Daisy appears in this outfit for her Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl to show off her tomboy nature.
Powers and Abilities
Daisy's abilities are based around the fact she is one of the few "Technical" characters in the Mario series who actually has a large amount of physical strength. Because of this, she often leans towards balance skills, but is usually a light to mid-weight technical character. Her powers consist of anything relating to flowers and the earth. Throughout her many appearances, Daisy has used flower powers in the high majority of her special moves.
Special Abilities
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.
In Super Mario Strikers Daisy was an offensive captain. Daisy's Super Strike was called the Torpedo Strike. In this Super Strike, Daisy launches the ball at the goal, and images of daisies fly all about. In Mario Strikers Charged Daisy showed a new form of powers other than her usual flower abilities. She used the ability of summoning huge orange crystals from the ground. She is also capable of teleporting; the distance depends on how charged the ball is. Depending on how charged the ball is, Daisy can teleport a long distance by doing a spin in smoke. After the spin she re-appears a certain amount of length away in any direction.
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.
Standard Abilities
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.
Personality
When it comes down to it, Daisy has a tomboyish personality. 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 she is full of spirit.
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 as "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 tends to speak more in common contemporary vernacular than other characters; examples of this are her ways of saying things in a slang tone of voice.
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 practically fell in love with her, and was willing to give the badge to her right away.
In Mario Strikers Charged her personality is much more defined. A good example would be her theme, New Wave, a brand of punk rock. However, this style of New Wave used as Daisy's theme is not as rough as most punk rock styles. This shows that she is very energetic, bold, and has the personality of a "skater girl". Daisy can be summarized as an energetic, friendly, and fun loving girl who can, so to speak, "hang with the guys."
Relationships with Other Characters
Tatanga
- Main article: Tatanga
Tatanga was the main antagonist of Super Mario Land, where he brain-washed all of Sarasaland to gain control and attempted to be-wed Daisy. Considering Mario had to come rescue a relived Daisy, the feelings between Daisy and Tatanga were expectedly not mutual. Although Tatanga has yet to be seen in any game sense, he has still been mentioned in later games.
Mario
- Main article: Mario
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. The two are nothing more than good friends. However, in Mario Party 5, Mario and Daisy are given the name "Nice Couple" when paired together, implying that Daisy and Mario could make a good match. Some team names are not to be taken literally though. They do not share player chemistry at all in Mario Superstar Baseball. Regardless, Daisy and Mario have still been stated to be good friends.
Peach
- Main article: Princess Peach
Peach is the most notable relationship Daisy has with any of the Mario characters. Daisy has been known to be good friends with Peach ever since her big comeback appearance in Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64. Soon after in Mario Tennis (GBC), Daisy is commonly alongside Peach in any cut-scenes. If something involves partners in the Mario spin-offs the two will usually be a team. Naturally, the two of them enjoy a friendly rivalry, but for the most part they enjoy each other's company.
Like Luigi, the two share good chemistry in the game Mario Superstar Baseball, and Daisy is Peach's team's co-captain. By their friendship, one can assume that the Mushroom Kingdom and Sarasaland have very good foreign relations. Nintendo's Mario Power Tennis Website says that Daisy is Peach's sister in arms, obviously meaning more of a 'brotherly love' type of relationship than an actual blood relationship.
In the Super Mario manga series, when Daisy is introduced to Peach, Daisy winks to Mario as a gesture of saying hello; Daisy does this regardless of the fact Peach is standing there watching them. Peach mistakes the wink as a way of showing affection, as Mario responds in that manner. Although Peach does not show it at that moment, she confronts Daisy which is where their rivalry originates; this ultimately leads to their lasting friendship.
Luigi
- Main article: Luigi
Luigi is rumored to be Daisy's love interest, and vice versa. As previously noted, one of Daisy's only appearances between Super Mario Land and Mario Tennis was as Luigi's caddy in NES Open Tournament Golf, just as Peach was Mario's caddy. This event would be the first implication of a relationship between the two, spawning the rumors that are mentioned in Daisy's trophy biography in Super Smash Bros. Melee: "After her appearance in Mario Golf, some gossips started portraying her as Luigi's answer to Mario's Peach."
In Mario Tennis for the N64, Daisy is Luigi's doubles partner when he is selected for the doubles tournament. In the Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour introduction, Daisy calls upon Luigi in the same way Peach calls upon Mario. When Luigi and Daisy are paired up in past recent Mario Party games, their team name is "Steady Sweeties". In Mario Superstar Baseball, Luigi and Daisy are "buddy players," and they share good chemistry, whereas Daisy does not share any chemistry with Mario. In Mario Power Tennis when Daisy wins a tournament she appears suddenly on roller-skates, and skates past Luigi right after saying to him, "Hey Sweetie". In Mario Kart Wii, on the Daisy Circuit, there is a giant statue of Luigi and Daisy dancing. Nintendo has not explicitly stated anything regarding their official status.
Wario
- Main article: Wario
Wario planned the take-over of Sarasaland, and hired Tatanga for the kidnapping of Daisy. Because of this one would assume Daisy has had some sort of lasting disliking of the two. As for Wario, when he unleashes his special gas ability on her in Mario Strikers Charged Daisy yells at him exclaiming, "Ugh-hoof! Agh-huh! Nooo! Waario!!". Daisy and Wario have had team names in the Mario party series such as: Mischief-Makers and Wilted Flowers; both names seem to indicate there could be a lasting relationship between the two.
Waluigi
- Main article: Waluigi
Waluigi and Daisy seem to have a shadowed relationship with one another which may be due to the fact the two started to appear as regulars in the Mario series around the same time. Daisy has been shown to have negative reactions to Waluigi in games like Mario Superstar Baseball, due to their bad chemistry, and Mario Strikers Charged, where Daisy shows a disliking towards him. Although certain team names such as Awkward Date ,Double-Facers, and Skinny Stars seem to suggest a wide variety of opinions.
Other
Other characters like Birdo, Toadette, Yoshi, and other characters playable throughout the Mario series all seem to, at one point or another, suggest they have some sort of positive relationship with Daisy in the Marioverse. Examples include team names such as: Gallopin' Gal-Pals, Shopping Buddies, Tomboy Trouble, Barn-Builders, and more.
Development
Early Design
When Daisy first appeared in the Marioverse, she had long orange hair, a flower motif to her yellow and white dress, a pale skin tone, and a rose crown. This outfit also included accessories such as a blue flower brooch, blue flower earrings, and even blue flower jewels on her crown. The daisy-motif has only changed once since - a green color was added instead of the original blue. In Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64, her appearance was refined; giving her a rounder face, a tanned skin tone, and a more brunette hair coloring. It should be noted however, that while any artwork depicts Daisy with tanned skin, in-game she has a regular, un-tanned, skin tone. In her next video game appearance, the new motif had remained; although she was no longer wearing sports clothes, and she now had her original rose crown.
Cultural Relevance
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 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 kawaii, which has to do with cute like characters in media and etcetera. 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 appearance seems to flow more and more into the direction of her Nintendo 64 days; as her round cheeks have been noticeably toned down, as well as her pale skin tone. Although this is so, her kawaii like appearance still remains constant.
Sports Attire
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. It also appears that she will be wearing a new outfit for her bikes in Mario Kart Wii.
Character Relevance
Something about Daisy's development is the relevance it shares to Peach's. Although the style of her crown has, like mentioned, changed slightly over time, these changes are always in some contrast to Peach's crown. When Daisy first appeared her crown was a rose like color, while Peach's was yellow, Daisy happened to wear a yellow dress, and Peach a pink, or rose, dress. Another thing is the fact Daisy's main floral jewel on her crown used to be yellow, while Peach's was red. This may also be another switch of the rose and yellow coloring; it should also be mentioned the smaller jewels on Daisy and Peach's crowns were at a time both blue while the main jewels had the opposite colors as mentioned. Nowadays Peach has a darkened gold crown while Daisy has a lightened gold crown, and although the jewelery on the crown isn't in contrast to anything, the fact Daisy has a brunette hair coloring and Peach has a blond hair coloring reveals that the crowns are more of a brunette and blond shaded gold. Meaning, Daisy has a blond crown and brunette hair while Peach has blond hair and a brunette crown. These types of contrasting colors appear throughout Daisy and Peach's sports attire as well; for example: Daisy has a white collar and Peach has a dark rose collar, Daisy has a secondary coloring on her shorts while Peach doesn't, and Peach has a secondary coloring on her shirt while Daisy doesn't. Basically, this means Daisy and Peach are made to completely contrast, or be the opposite, of one another in everything except body composition.
Graphical Mis-Haps
Weather they be mistakes or flaws-by-design, Daisy has had a number of graphical mishaps when it comes to her in-game character models. The screen intro of NES Open Tournament Golf depicts Daisy's dress as blue and Peach's dress as green, instead of their yellow and pink dresses respectively; this may be due to the color limitations of the era. In Mario is Missing!, the same pallet design was used for Daisy; this is likely due to the previous in-game model being the only colored version of Daisy around that era to base it off of. Daisy's trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee has a third eye pattern on the back of her head that players can view by zooming in through the back of her hair until the it is no longer visible; this was fixed in PAL and US version 1.2 of the game. Also in Super Smash Bros. Melee, her trophy is depicted with maroon shoes and Peach's costume recolor is depicted with teal shoes; Daisy's shoes are, and have always been orange, therefore both colors are incorrect. In beta screenshots of Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Daisy appeared to have a bit of a pudgy stomach. This extra layering was added to hide errors with her model's design. In the final release of the game, Camelot, the creators of the game, fixed this. In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour and Mario Power Tennis, Daisy's floral collar seems to be incomplete, as the collar has frill detailing, but isn't trimmed properly. 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.

Appearances in Other Media
Comics
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 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 manga, available only in 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.
Film
In the 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 King Koopa, putting a green egg with a small crystal tied to it on the steps of a cathedral. Her mother is later killed in a rock slide, and the green egg hatches into Daisy as a baby.
The nuns had either taken a vow of silence, or decided to keep it secret, because Daisy grows up thinking she is a normal human being. However, she always has an odd love of fossils and dinosaurs, so much that she becomes a paleontologist. One of her digging sites is being hounded by Anthony Scapelli, a wealthy entrepreneur, because the dig is making him lose business. One day, she meets Mario and Luigi, and she and Luigi really hit it off.
Later in the film, King Koopa sends out his cousins Spike and 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. 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's first voice actor was Kate Fleming, who played her voice in Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64. Her next voice actor was Jen Taylor, who provided her voice in Mario Party 3, Mario Party 4, and finally in Mario Party 5. Jen Taylor also provided Peach's voice in these games. In every other game, Daisy has been (and is currently) voiced by Deanna Mustard. In the Super Mario Bros. movie, Daisy was played by the actor Samantha Mathis.
Trivia
This trivia section is overly long. Please relocate any relevant information into appropriate sections and articles.
- 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.
- One of Peach's costumes in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Brawl are pallet swaps for Daisy's color scheme.
