'''Princess Daisy''', or casually '''Daisy''', is the princess of [[Sarasaland]] and a recurring character in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. 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''' is the [[wikipedia:Red hair|titian-haired]], tomboy, princess of [[Sarasaland]], and Peach's best friend, who first appeared in the game ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. Like [[Wario]], Daisy was created by [[Gunpei Yokoi]], [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]'s mentor. Although Daisy is the ruler of Sarasaland, her 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>  
==Creation and development==
In ''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.


Daisy is known to be a tomboy, a fact stated even since her debut appearance.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/dmg/mla/chara/index.html</ref> Unlike many other females in the [[Mario (series)|Mario series]], Daisy is one of the few who doesn't represent herself with pink. To go along with her tomboyish nature, she is represented by more gender-neutral colors like yellow, orange and green. Daisy has an affinity for flowers as displayed in her appearances; her attire, special abilities, personal emblems and general representations are often flowers.
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]].


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.<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. Daisy shares a friendly rivalry with [[Princess Peach]], and is also good friends with [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. Daisy has appeared in over thirty games to date for the Mario series, and continues to do so regularly.
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 Land'' series===
{{Main|History of Princess Daisy}}
====''Super Mario Land''====
Princess Daisy has made her first appearance in ''Super Mario Land'' as a damsel-in-distress. Despite her ''Super Mario'' debut, she rarely appeared in the core series. Like [[Waluigi]], she made most appearances as a playable character in ''Mario'' spin-offs.
[[Image:DaisySML.gif|thumb|98px|Daisy in her debut. (''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.

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 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, round 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; there is sometimes a white petticoat underneath. 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.


===Nintendo Comics System===
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.  
[[Image:Daisytatanga.jpg|thumb|left|Daisy and Tatanga as they appeared in the comic books.]]
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]]".
<br clear=all>


===''Super Mario-Kun===
In her debut for ''Super Mario Land'' in 1989, her hair extended past her waist and covered her ears, and her crown was red with a single jewel on the front. The jewel of her crown had six petals and her earrings each had five. She had black eyes and jewels, and her floral collar was centered at the seam of the petals as opposed to the tip. Her dress had a white waistband and there was a white dollop pattern along the bottom of it. In-game, Daisy's sprite resembled a girl with long hair wearing a dress, using only two shades from the Game Boy's limited palette.
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. Afterward, 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.


===Golf installments===
In ''NES Open Tournament Golf'' in 1991, she was shown with blue eyes and jewels, as well as yellow slippers. Daisy and Peach wore miniskirts as opposed to their previous floor-length dresses, and they lacked their crowns. They were also shown to be the same height and were seemingly body-doubles in size and stature. In-game, Daisy's sprite appearance highly differed from her look in artwork; her hair was blond, and her dress was blue, and some physical details were off-model, as well.
====''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.  


====''Mario Golf'' series====
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 had pale skin in-game, however. She still sported a miniskirt, common with Peach's appearances in sport games, but she didn't have a crown on despite Peach now wearing her own again. Instead of the previous slippers, Daisy and Peach wore matching orange sneakers with a yellow strap and white tube socks.
=====''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''=====
[[Image:MGTTDaisyflower.PNG|thumb|210px|Daisy getting a nice hit. (''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour'')]]
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.


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#Alternate_Outfits|here]].
In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', Daisy was depicted with a long dress and a crown again for the first time since her debut. Artwork showed 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 were round, blue jewels. Renders also depicted her wearing orange heels, and with her earrings having five, white petals around them with blue jewels in the center that matched the blue of her brooch. Her in-game model depicted the crown as red again, her heels a matching red, and the jewels of her earrings and brooch were more greenish than blue. The jewel on the front of her crown lacked the floral details on this model, and her earrings had six petals instead of the previously usual five. Unlike in ''Mario Tennis'', her tan was retained in-game and on the promotional materials alike. This was also the first time Daisy was determinably 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>


===''Mario Tennis'' series===
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.
====''Mario Tennis''====
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).


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.
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.


====''Mario Power Tennis''====
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:DaisyMPT.png|thumb|Daisy returning Mario's hit in an Open Court ''(Mario Power Tennis)''.|left]]
====Alternate outfits====
''[[Mario Power Tennis (Nintendo GameCube)|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.
[[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.


Daisy also appears in the [[Wii]] release [[New Play Control!|New Play Control: Mario Power Tennis]] version of the game. All original qualities stay intact.<br clear=all>
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.


===[[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]===
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''.
====''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 (Nintendo 64)''; 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 & 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 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.
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.


This is also the first game for the Mario series overall in which Daisy wears her current main dress, along with [[Princess Peach|Peach]].
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.


====''Mario Party 7''====
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.
[[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 & 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.


====''Mario Party DS''====
In ''Mario Golf: Super Rush'', Daisy wears a new outfit that suits the golfing theme more. This outfit consists of a yellow polo shirt, a white skirt with an orange belt and two flower badges attached to the left center. The footwear is similar to what she wore in ''Mario Tennis Aces'', although a set of spike cleats are attached to the soles, and she wears orange high socks with a yellow stripe at the near top. Daisy's hair appears to be reverted to titian brown, and her skin tone appears tanned.
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]]===
[[File:Daisy SSBUltimate.png|thumb|Daisy in her ''Super Smash Bros.'' dress|220px]]
====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
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 introduced to the ''Mario Kart'' series of spinoff installments, starting with ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. In that game, Daisy was [[Princess Peach]]'s default partner, and they shared with one another the best defensive special Items in the game, the [[Heart]]. 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.


====''Mario Kart DS''====
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.
[[Image:PowerFlower.jpg|Daisy in her ''Power Flower''.''(Mario Kart DS)''|thumb|left]]
After ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', Princess Daisy joined the ''Mario Kart'' portable racing scene in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' being one of the unlockable participants (by getting a Gold Trophy on every cup in the Retro Grand Prix on 50cc). This was Daisy's second handheld appearance overall since her debut to the Mario series in ''Super Mario Land''. Daisy was a light-weight character unlike in ''Double Dash'' where she appeared as a middle-weight. Daisy's three karts were: Standard DS, [[Power Flower (kart)|Power Flower]], and [[Light Dancer]]; the second two being unlockable. Like other participants that had to be unlocked for the overall roster in ''Mario Kart DS'', Daisy was not featured in any mission modes. Daisy was the staff ghost character for the [[Sky Garden]] and [[Tick-Tock Clock]] courses. Daisy's name appears on shop-like signs throughout [[Delfino Square]].<br clear=all>


====''Mario Kart Wii''====
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 appears as a Medium-Sized unlockable character in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' (by winning the 150cc Special Cup in 1st place, or by playing 2,850 games). Daisy shares the Medium-Sized group of karts and bikes, but all in her own personal style. Like Peach and Rosalina, Daisy swaps her dress for a new biker suit whenever driving in any of the bike vehicles.


[[Image:DaisyMKWii2.png|thumb|250px|Daisy racing on her personal Circuit. (''Mario Kart Wii'')]]
===Personality===
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.
[[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.


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.
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 with her father.


It should be noted that Daisy's [[Baby Daisy|baby counterpart]] makes her first appearance in the Mario series overall starting with this installment (as an unlockable participant).
Daisy has claimed to be clumsy. She fell off stage while receiving her trophy in ''Mario Tennis''. She needs help after becoming lost in the Remix 10 pipe in ''Super Mario Run'', and admits to being absentminded while waiting for her turn in ''Fortune Street''.


===''Mario Baseball'' series===
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.
====''Mario Superstar Baseball''====
[[Image:DaisyBatting.PNG|left|200px|thumb|Replay of Daisy achieving a Perfect hit at the batter's plate. (''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.<br clear=all>


====''Mario Super Sluggers''====
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.
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. Daisy's special moves deal with her renowned flower abilities in this installment as well.  
[[Image:Daisy-mss-intro-2.png|thumb|250px|Daisy countering a pitch thrown from Mario in the ''Mario Super Sluggers'' opening.]]
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 become 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. Afterward, 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.


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.
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.


===''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''===
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>
[[Image:DaisyHoops.PNG|thumb|left|Daisy's profile artwork in ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3.]]
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.
<br clear=all>


===''Mario Football'' series===
===Powers and abilities===
====''Mario Smash Football''====
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''.
[[Image:Dassssyy.png|thumb|Daisy showing off for a victory. (''Mario Strikers'')]]
Once again Daisy joined up with the Mario crew, this time to play football. Daisy was introduced to the ''[[Mario Football (series)]]'' series in the first installment, ''[[Mario Smash Football]]''. In this game, Daisy was an Offensive Captain, who wore the number "09" jersey and possessed the ability to perform the [[Super Strike]] called [[Torpedo Strike]]. The Torpedo Strike can be classified as flower power due to the original name, and the flowers that emit from its finish. Rather than appear in her formal sports attire, Daisy and the rest of the crew wore soccer jerseys.


====''Mario Strikers Charged Football''====
[[File:Daisydaisybat.png|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Daisy executing her "Flower Swing" in ''Mario Super Sluggers'']]
Daisy also appeared in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged Football]]'', the follow-up to ''Mario Smash Football'' for the Nintendo Gamecube. Now qualified as a Defensive Captain, Daisy had a personal [[Super Ability]] and [[Mega Strike]]. Daisy's Super Ability was [[Crystal Smash!]], which covered the surrounding ground with orange crystals, blasting away anyone in range. In her Mega Strike, Daisy summoned a crystal gauntlet around her hand, and punched the ball towards the goal, this being one of the few times in the game where someone used their hands to make contact with the ball. In the games Striker Challenge Mode, Daisy faced up against both [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Waluigi]]. She battled Peach to take the Star Cup championship, and she took on Waluigi to see if she could get the Brick Wall award for an unprecedented fifth straight year.
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]].


===''Itadaki Street DS''===
[[File:Daisy Torpedo Strike.png|150px|thumb|Daisy executing her "Torpedo Strike" in ''Super Mario Strikers'']]
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]]''.
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]].


===''Mario & Sonic'' series===
In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', she was shown to have enough physical strength to effortlessly send Bowser flying into the sky with a single slap.
====''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games''====
{{br|left}}
[[Image:Highjump.PNG|thumb|170px|left|Daisy participating in the High Jump event. (''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'')]]
In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' for the Wii and DS, Daisy appeared as, for the first time, a Speed character. Being well balanced for many event types, Daisy was a good choice for a variety of play. 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, Daisy's flower power propelled her forward, allowing her to jab rapidly. In her table tennis special, Daisy spun around with flower petals surrounding her paddle, and knocked the ball back covered in petals with increased speed.<br clear=all>


====''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''====
===Relationships===
[[Image:DaisyMSW.png|thumb|200px|left|Daisy starting the "skeleton" event. (''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'')]]  
====Friends====
Daisy returns to the ''Mario & Sonic'' installments in the follow-up, ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', also for the Wii and DS. She returns as a Speed type and has the [[Flower Trampoline]] technique on both versions as well as a [[Flower Dash]] technique on the DS version. Following a trend from previous installments, Daisy and other female characters sport a new outfit specifically for the winter games.  
[[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 [[Baby Luigi|as]] [[Baby Daisy|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 official ''Mario Party 4'' guide states that Luigi has a crush on Daisy.{{page needed}} 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!"


In the Wii version, there are a number of items available for purchase relating to Daisy. Players can buy two decals of Daisy, one winter and one of her regular appearance. Also available is a set of Daisy banners; all of these items can be used to personally decorate event equipment. Like other characters, a Daisy Suit is available for purchase for a [[Mii]] to wear; it increases both speed and acceleration.  
[[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.

Peach's cousin is louder and less proper, but she's always friendly to Mario and Luigi for saving her from Tatanga the Mysterious Spaceman.|author=Hodgson, David|title=''Mario Kart: Wii'': [[Prima Games|Prima's]] Official Strategy Guide|page=21|publisher=Prima Games|date=April 27, 2008|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-5970-1}}</ref> 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.


In the DS version, the [[Adventure Tours]] mode features Daisy as a key character in thwarting Bowser and Eggman's evil plans. Daisy helps out on a number of occasions through the plot. She is first found in [[Blizland]], where the player must use Blaze to defeat her in [[Ultimate Figure Skating]]. Afterwords she is used to complete a mini-game in [[Ice Peak]] to protect an affectionate [[sonicretro:Chao|Chao]]'s Freezalea patch from a wild [[sonicretro:Kiki|Kiki]].
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.


Daisy is later used to complete two missions run by [[Lakitu]]; [[Short Track]] and [[Intense Short Track]]. Lakitu requests Daisy personally to boost crowd appeal, and he offers the [[Meteor Curling Stone]] as a reward; the Meteor Curling Stone is used to complete the games final missions, including the boss battle with Bowser and Eggman. Once the final battle is won by Mario and Sonic, every character chimes in on their hand in victory and Daisy announces, "There's no way we'd ever lose to a bunch of misfits like Bowser and Eggman".
[[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.


===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
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.
====''Super Smash Bros. Melee====
Daisy appears as an unlockable [[trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. The trophy depicts her appearance from ''Mario Party 3''. Also, Daisy's pallet design is available for use by Peach; just as Wario's is available for Mario and other characters pallets are used as well.


====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl====
====Enemies====
[[Image:Daisy5.jpg|thumb|[[Princess Peach]] in her Daisy pallet design. (''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'')]]
[[File:MP4 Waluigi awestruck.png|thumb|upright=1.1|Daisy and Waluigi in the ''Mario Party 4'' opening]]
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.  
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>


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.
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.


==Character Description==
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. 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]].
===Clothing===
Daisy is portrayed as wearing a floor length yellow and orange dress with wrist-length gloves. Daisy's dress has puffy sleeves with white floral frills peering out the openings. Daisy's collar is also a white floral frill, as well are the openings of her gloves. At Daisy's waist are two orange [[wikipedia:Pannier (clothing)|panniers]], used to accent the dress' frame. At the bottom of the dress are two orange ruffles, which are another hoop apart in length, completed with deep orange dress shoes. Daisy also wears a [[wikipedia:Variations_of_green|green]] gem, surrounded with white, flower-shaped, petals; these jewels appear throughout her outfit. Included in the set is a set of earrings, a brooch, and flower jewels on her crown. Daisy's crown is golden with four jewels. The front and back jewels being the green flowers followed throughout the rest of her outfit, and at each side is one round ruby jewel.  


===Characteristics===
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 is a petite, young-looking woman. Regardless of her thin, feminine size, Daisy is portrayed to be very athletically adept. She usually has regular or above average levels of skill in the various aspects of her playing style; Daisy is stated to be more powerful than Peach and has shown to be stronger than others at times.  


Daisy has a very average height in terms of other characters. While she is taller than characters like Mario and Luigi, she is shorter than characters such as Peach and Waluigi.<ref>[[Media:PeachDaisySize.png|Size Chart]]</ref> Daisy has a similar body type to Peach's, but her waist is less elongated, and her frame is unique in comparison.
==Profiles and statistics==
{{main|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.


Daisy's skin is fair in complexion. She has a pert, round, button nose with a flat stem. Daisy sports a winning smile, and she has light, rosy lips; Daisy doesn't wear lipstick such as Peach or Pauline's but does have a defined lip tone.

|''[[Super Mario Bros. Print World]]''
In most of the recent Mario sports installments for the Gamecube, Wii, and DS systems, Daisy's "primary sports outfit" includes orange shorts, a yellow sleeveless shirt, and the usual flower accessories. The shorts include two yellow hoops at the bottom, and two yellow curved lines running from the side seams to the front waist. Also included are a pair of orange and yellow athletic shoes with two lace straps on each. Unless appearing in a ''Mario Party'' or ''Mario Kart'' game, Daisy will be depicted in this instead of her current main princess outfit. Daisy's "main athletic outfit" was first seen in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', in which it also marked her first time participating in the Gamecube series of Mario sport game installments. As stated earlier, Daisy has been seen wearing this outfit for most of the Gamecube, Wii, and DS Mario sports installments, with the latest one being ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''.

In ''Mario Smash Football'', Daisy wears a 2-piece soccer outfit. The outfit consists of an orange midriff-baring crop top with turquoise as a secondary color and white as an accent color. The top also has a flower emblem with Daisy's soccer number. The shorts are in the same fashion as the top. Her cleats are turquoise and white with orange soles that have the letter "D" for Daisy on the heel. She also wears white soccer gloves with orange and black wristbands as well as orange shin-guards. Unlike many other sports outfits, this does not include her flower brooch.
|''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]''
 
|Non-playable character
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.

As motorbikes were a newly added feature to ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Daisy wears a biker outfit if riding on any one of them. While the ''Mario Kart'' series is one of the few sports installments where Daisy wears her princess dress in, this time around she, [[Princess_Peach#Biker_Outfit|Peach]], and [[Rosalina#Athletic_Wear|Rosalina]] were given new jumpsuits to fit the changes implemented. 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 even though it is still present). A yellow heart with an orange outline is found on her back; the heart is hidden by her hair unless it is flowing up.

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.

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.
|Playable character (Party Mode)
 
|December 7, 2000
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.
|Nintendo 64
 
|-
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.
|''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''
 
|Cameo (trophy)
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 voice-over, 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."

==Powers and Abilities==
|-
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===

[[Image:Daisydaisybat.png|thumb|200px|left|Daisy's "Flower Swing" in use. (''Mario Super Sluggers'')]]
|Nintendo GameCube
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.

|''[[Mario Party-e]]''
[[Image:Daisy msb opening.png|thumb|175px|right|Daisy on the fielding end for Mario's team in the ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' opening.]] 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.
|Playable character ([[Daisy's Rodeo]])
 
|February 17, 2003
This is also displayed again in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. For Daisy's ''Flower Swing'' (when she's up to bat), upon successful execution 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.

[[Image:Specialability.PNG|thumb|200px|left|Daisy using her special ability ([[Crystal Smash!]]) from ''Mario Strikers Charged Football''.]] 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.

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.

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.

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'' (Game Boy Color), 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.

|Non-playable character
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.

|[[Nintendo DS]]
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 afterward (the [[Peach Monarchs]]) vowing to help obliterate Bowser's gang who invaded the Baseball Kingdom and turned her into a statue.

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 wed 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.

The 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. Toad tells the Boomerang Bro. to not dare lay a finger on Princess Daisy, showing he really cares for her safety. Once the player defeats the Boomerang Bro., Toad assumes they will be staying to protect her, but is informed the player wants to move the statue to another location. 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.

===Design===
|July 27, 2006
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-like strap at her waist, and the border was white with [[wikipedia:Hershey's Kisses|Hershey's Kisses]] shapes topped with dots over each point. This outfit also included accessories such as a blue flower brooch, blue flower earrings, a yellow flower jewel on her crown and blue jewels on each side of the crown. The daisy-motif has only changed once since. A more green color was added instead of the original blue and yellow flowers, and the blue jewels were replaced with red.
|Nintendo DS
[[Image:MP3Art.PNG|thumb|left|150px|Daisy with her short-lived tan. (''Mario Party 3'')]]
|-
 
|''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]''
In ''Mario Tennis'' for the ''Nintendo 64'', her appearance was refined. Daisy had always had a different facial structure than Peach, but it wasn't until her first playable appearance that she was given her natural round head shape. A tan skin tone was also a new addition to Daisy's design update; although extremely short lasted. While in artwork for the game she is depicted with a tan, in-game she sports an un-tanned skin tone similar to her first appearances. In ''Mario Party 3'' the new motif had remained equally the same, and the tan was actually seen in-game this time around. However, her flower jewels were the current green color they are today in-game; regardless of the fact this detail had not yet been added to her appearance as the artwork still depicted her with blue jewels and the blue jewels on her crown remained as well as the orange flower jewels. It should also be mentioned that while Daisy's hair color was indeed darker than her first two appearances in these games, they were still both highlighted in orange tones as Daisy's hair has always remained some shade of orange. It could also be seen she had red shoes to match her crown; this is possibly another in-game mistake as her artwork depicts her with orange shoes and she has never worn any shoes that were not at least partially orange.
|Cameo
 
|2007
With her introduction to ''Mario Party 4'', Daisy's character design was changed yet again, but for the last time. She was given shorter (yet still long) hair, a new yellow and orange dress design, a golden crown, her original skin tone,  as well as many other minor changes. Her hair was also slightly altered, now being a much lighter orange than the dark orange seen in the last two games; it should be mentioned that Daisy's hair went from bright orange to dark orange to a medium orange that ranges from burnt to bright. It is true with Daisy, along with every Mario character, that her appearance is constantly refined to keep up with graphical updates. Although this is so, Daisy's newest design has remained her current appearance.

This sports outfit appeared as an unlockable costume in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]''; unlike the original, it had more of her modern motif as is expected. 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. When Daisy first started appearing in installments on the GameCube she sported this attire on her own while Peach wore the refined version of the sports mini-dress. For unknown reasoning Peach picked up on the design Daisy was originally given in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' with her own motifs and colors and has kept the design since.

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; this issue occurs with anyone else wearing a crown as well.

|June 21, 2007
*The title screen of ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]'' depicts Daisy as well as Peach with odd colors such as their dress colors being completely wrong; this may be due to the color limitations of the era.
|Nintendo DS
*In ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)]]'' Daisy did not actually have her tan regardless of the fact she is depicted with it in all artwork for the game.
|-
*In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' Daisy's flower jewels were all the green color they are today regardless of the fact this change was not made until her second redesign.
|''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]''
*Also in ''Mario Party 3'' Daisy wore red shoes the same color as her crown regardless of the fact artwork depicted her with orange shoes.
|Playable character
*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.
|November 6, 2007
*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.
|Wii
*In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' and ''[[Mario Power Tennis (Nintendo GameCube)|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.
|''[[Mario Party DS]]''
*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.
|Playable character
*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; a common problem in games with low graphics.

==Cultural impact==
{{construction}}
===Promotion and merchandising===
Princess Daisy has been featured in many sets of collectibles for the Mario Series. Many mini-figures have been released as well as a small amount of larger figurines. In her initial release for ''Super Mario Land'', a set of mini figures were released for the game and Daisy got one herself depicting her original design. A ''Mario Party'' set of  4cm vinyl figures were released in 2005; each of the playable characters in the games were featured.<ref>[[Media:Daisyfiguresparty.jpg|Tomy Nintendo MARIO BROS PARTY Figure - 4cm DAISY]]</ref> Released in 2008, Daisy was featured in a group of 6 characters for the release of the 4-inch, series 2, vinyl, Super Mario, figures by PopCo Entertainment.<ref>[[Media:Groupshotfigures.jpg|Pop Co Entertainment figures]]</ref> There was also a 2-pack bundled version where Daisy was available with [[Shy Guy]] and a collector tin. For volume 2 of the Furuta Super Mario Bros candy toys, Daisy was featured with her own mini-figure; these series of figures were shipped inside chocolate covered eggs to be open and eaten to receive the toy inside.<ref>[[Media:Furutapack2.jpg|Furuta Super Mario Bros candy toy vol.2 -No.14 figure]]</ref>
 
===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.
 
===Critical reception===
 
==Portrayals==
Daisy is voiced/portrayed by:
 
*[[Kate Fleming]] in ''Mario Tennis'' for the Nintendo 64; never continued her role.
*[[Jen Taylor]] in ''Mario Party 3''; until Deanna Mustard would be hired.
*[[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."
*In ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', Daisy's MVP section misspelled Sarasaland as "Sarasara Land"; this is likely a translation mistake.
*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''.
*Daisy's ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' trophy states "her iconic look is a yellow and white dress", regardless of the fact Daisy hasn't worn her yellow and white dress for years.
*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.
*Daisy's emblem/representation has been an orange daisy with a teal center, instead of the common white daisy with a yellow center.

Princess Daisy, Fortune Street

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

In 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

Main article: History of Princess Daisy

Princess Daisy has made her first appearance in Super Mario Land as a damsel-in-distress. Despite her Super Mario debut, she rarely appeared in the core series. Like Waluigi, she made most appearances as a playable character in Mario spin-offs.

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

Daisy is a young[5] woman with vivid blue eyes and deep orange hair.[6] She has an average height compared to other Super Mario characters, being shorter than Peach[7] 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, round 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; there is sometimes a white petticoat underneath. 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 her debut for Super Mario Land in 1989, her hair extended past her waist and covered her ears, and her crown was red with a single jewel on the front. The jewel of her crown had six petals and her earrings each had five. She had black eyes and jewels, and her floral collar was centered at the seam of the petals as opposed to the tip. Her dress had a white waistband and there was a white dollop pattern along the bottom of it. In-game, Daisy's sprite resembled 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 was shown with blue eyes and jewels, as well as yellow slippers. Daisy and Peach wore miniskirts as opposed to their previous floor-length dresses, and they lacked their crowns. They were also shown to be the same height and were seemingly body-doubles in size and stature. In-game, Daisy's sprite appearance highly differed from her look in artwork; her hair was blond, and her dress was blue, and some physical details were off-model, as well.

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 had pale skin in-game, however. She still sported a miniskirt, common with Peach's appearances in sport games, but she didn't have a crown on despite Peach now wearing her own again. Instead of the previous slippers, Daisy and Peach wore matching orange sneakers with a yellow strap and white tube socks.

In Mario Party 3, Daisy was depicted with a long dress and a crown again for the first time since her debut. Artwork showed 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 were round, blue jewels. Renders also depicted her wearing orange heels, and with her earrings having five, white petals around them with blue jewels in the center that matched the blue of her brooch. Her in-game model depicted the crown as red again, her heels a matching red, and the jewels of her earrings and brooch were more greenish than blue. The jewel on the front of her crown lacked the floral details on this model, and her earrings had six petals instead of the previously usual five. Unlike in Mario Tennis, her tan was retained in-game and on the promotional materials alike. This was also the first time Daisy was determinably shorter than Peach, as they previously shared a body type, but now had completely unique models.[8]

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.[9]

Alternate outfits

In NES Open Tournament Golf, she wears a sundress that is similar overall to her usual dress, although shorter, yellow ballet flats, and she lacked a crown. In-game, however, she was depicted having blonde hair and wearing a blue dress, presumably due to graphic limitations.

For Daisy's official breakthrough into the Super Mario franchise overall in Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64, Daisy wears a dress similar to the one she wore in NES Open Tournament Golf, where the primary colors are amber yellow and the polka dots and linings are white. In addition, she wore orange shoes with white high socks to suits the sports theme properly. She also had an alternative color palette in Short Game mode, where her dress was lavender and indigo, while the shoes were colored indigo as well.

When the GameCube Super Mario sports installments came around, her current sports attire started to make their debut appearance as well. Daisy's primary athletic wear is a two-piece uniform, which was first introduced in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour. It includes a sleeveless yellow top with her flower brooch, orange shorts, and tennis shoes with mid-height white socks. Daisy appears in this outfit more often than any other outfit, including her usual gown. She also has an athletic minidress, which was first introduced in Mario Hoops 3-on-3. It is a short yellow dress with two orange frills at the bottom resembling the ruffles on her usual gown. This outfit was first an unlockable alternative to her two-piece athletic uniform and was later used as her primary athletic wear in Mario Tennis Open and Mario Golf: World Tour.

In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, she wears a new outfit similar to her regular athletic outfit; the top now has white accents on the sides and slightly bares her midriff, while the shorts are a bit darker and longer and come with yellow linings on the sides. This outfit receives some minor additions depending on the sport, such as a brown harness belt in the Sport Climbing and Archery events, or burnt orange knee-high socks in Football and Rugby Sevens.

In Super Mario Strikers, Daisy wears a two-piece soccer uniform that bares her midriff. Both the jersey and shorts are orange with emerald green linings on the sides. Also included are emerald green high tops with orange high socks. In Mario Strikers Charged, she wears the same uniform, but with pieces of armor overlapping it due to the game's intensity. It is available in two colors: the first is orange while the alternate is emerald green. Daisy's soccer number can be found on the back of her chest-plate. Daisy appears in this outfit for her trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. In Mario Strikers: Battle League, her soccer uniform no longer bares her midriff and now consists of a soccer jersey and shorts that can now be worn with or without armor.

In Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8/Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Daisy wears a special biker suit when riding motorbikes instead of karts, and also on ATVs in the latter two titles. Daisy's jumpsuit is white with yellow as a secondary color. It includes a yellow scarf and a yellow heart graphic on the back. It features yellow elbow-length gloves with white accents, similar to Princess Peach's regular gloves, matching knee-high yellow boots with white trims and soles, and a matching belt with a silver buckle. In Mario Kart 8, the white on her jumpsuit is now a yellowish-white color.

In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, Daisy wears an outfit more suited for cold weather, consisting of a yellow mini-dress with long orange sleeves and orange leggings with vertical white stripes on both sides. She also wears white gloves and boots with yellow laces.

In Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games and Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Daisy wears a yellow leotard with orange lining on either side that also functions as a swimsuit; she is seen wearing this for the Rhytmic Gymnastics and Aquatics events in these installments.

In Mario Golf: Super Rush, Daisy wears a new outfit that suits the golfing theme more. This outfit consists of a yellow polo shirt, a white skirt with an orange belt and two flower badges attached to the left center. The footwear is similar to what she wore in Mario Tennis Aces, although a set of spike cleats are attached to the soles, and she wears orange high socks with a yellow stripe at the near top. Daisy's hair appears to be reverted to titian brown, and her skin tone appears tanned.

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,[10] with orange being her favorite.[11] 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 with her father.

Daisy has claimed to be clumsy. She fell off stage while receiving her trophy in Mario Tennis. She needs help after becoming 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.[12]

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 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 official Mario Party 4 guide states that Luigi has a crush on Daisy.[page number needed] 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,[13][14] 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,[12] 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,[15] while when she lands on an average shop, she asks why she needs to stop here and she feels disgusted.[16] In Mario Tennis Aces, she felt that Waluigi and Wario were more suspicious than usual,[17] 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.[18]

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. In Fortune Street, Daisy sees no threat or significance in Bowser.[19] 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).
