“Everyone says I'm the fairest of all!”
—Princess Daisy, Mario Party 3

Princess Daisy (Japanese: デイジー姫, Deijī-hime) is the princess of Sarasaland. She was created by Gunpei Yokoi, Shigeru Miyamoto's mentor. Although Daisy is the ruler of Sarasaland, she currently resides in the Mushroom Kingdom.^[1]

Daisy is a tomboy, a fact first stated in her debut appearance.^[2] Daisy is represented by colors like yellow, orange and green. She has an affinity for flowers; her attire, special abilities, personal emblems and general representations are often flowers.

Years after her initial appearance, Daisy started appearing in more and more Mario games. This was due to the lack of human characters in the series.^[3] She now appears in the majority of Mario spin-off games, most often as a playable character. Daisy is good friends with Princess Peach, and she interacts positively with many other characters. This includes Luigi, who is often hinted to be in love with Daisy. Daisy has appeared in forty Mario series games to date, and continues to appear in Mario games regularly.

History

Super Mario Land

During the events of Super Mario Land, Tatanga invades Daisy's nation, Sarasaland. He hypnotizes all the country's inhabitants, enslaving them into his army, and kidnaps Daisy. Mario attempts to rescue the princess and liberate Sarasaland by traveling through each of the four kingdoms of Sarasaland to reach Tatanga.

Nintendo Comics System

Daisy also appears in the Game Boy comic books. Just as in Super Mario Land, she is Tatanga's prisoner, 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".

Super Mario-Kun

Daisy appears as a prominent character in the Japan-only Super Mario-Kun manga. Daisy first appears in the Sarasaland chapters, where she is again Tatanga's captive. Tatanga plans to force Daisy to marry him. After the Sarasaland chapters, Daisy's role switches to that of a heroine. She then appears alongside her close friends Mario, Luigi, and Peach. Daisy is a consistently reoccurring character in the Super Mario-Kun series.

Daisy's "Flower Swing" in use. (Mario Super Sluggers)

In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Daisy has the longest hit ratio for any human player. In Mario Power Tennis, Daisy is a technical player who has two special moves. The first is 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 summons a bed of daisies underneath her while she is in the air. In Mario Hoops 3-on-3, Daisy is once again a technical player. She uses flower powers in her special move, the Flower Shot, in which she summons a barrage of petals around herself and then kicks the ball into the net.

Daisy on the fielding end for Mario's team in the Mario Superstar Baseball opening.

In Mario Superstar Baseball, she is a Balanced player who leans towards Technique. She can easily hit a home run if she receives a good pitch. 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. For Daisy's Flower Swing, she swings around with flower petals all-about and hits the ball. 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, Daisy spins and throws a ball covered in flowers.

Daisy using her special ability (Crystal Smash!) from Mario Strikers Charged.

In Super Mario Strikers, Daisy is an offensive captain. Daisy's Super Strike is 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 summons 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. 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 others.
