'''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>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/dmg/mla/chara/index.html</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''', or casually '''Daisy''', is the princess of [[Sarasaland]]. [[Gunpei Yokoi]], [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]'s mentor, is often attributed as being the creator of Princess Daisy. Although Daisy is the ruler of Sarasaland, she currently resides in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]].  
==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>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2009/07/27/ign-presents-the-history-of-game-boy?page=2]</ref> Sarasaland was named after a type of floral design, and Daisy was created with a matching flower motif.<ref>{{media 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 a tomboy, something first stated in her debut appearance, ''[[Super Mario Land]]''.<ref name="Tomboy">http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/dmg/mla/chara/index.html</ref> In complement to her name, she has an affinity for flowers. Her attire, special abilities, personal emblems, and general representations are often flowers as well.  
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>[https://web.archive.org/web/20001209080900/http://www.camelot.co.jp/gimon/gimon13.html Japanese Camelot Q & A]. May 28, 2008.</ref> Since then, Daisy has made regular appearances as a playable character in most of the ''Super Mario'' multiplayer games, including ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'', ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'', and ''Super Mario'' [[Genre#Sports_games|sports titles]].


After an early hiatus, Daisy was reintroduced due to a lack of [[human]] characters in the series.<ref name="HumanCharacters">http://www.camelot.co.jp/gimon/gimon13.html</ref> She appears most often as a playable character in the spin-off games. She has appeared in over forty [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' games]] to date, and has appeared consecutively for more than a decade.
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.

{{Main|History of Princess Daisy}}
[[File:SML Daisy.png|thumb|left|Daisy's appearance in ''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.
Princess Daisy's makes her debut appearance in ''Super Mario Land''. [[Tatanga]], a space alien, invades Daisy's nation, Sarasaland, in order to marry her and make her his queen. He kidnaps Daisy, and hypnotizes all the land's inhabitants, enslaving them into his army. [[Mario]] attempts to rescue Daisy and bring peace to Sarasaland by traveling through each of the four kingdoms in pursuit of Tatanga to try and defeat him.


Throughout the game, enemies disguise themselves as Daisy to trick Mario into believing he has rescued her. In the end Daisy is rescued, but Tatanga manages to escape. Daisy thanks Mario, and the two fly away in an [[Sky Pop|aeroplane]].

Daisy has made many appearances in ''[[Mario Golf (series)|Mario Golf]]'' games, as one of the strongest female characters in the game. She has appeared in two ''Mario Golf'' games as a playable character but as made cameos in other games such as ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]'' and the scorecard of ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]''. She didn't appear in the [[Nintendo 64]] version of ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'', however, she did appear in the tennis counterpart ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'' along with [[Waluigi]].

Daisy makes her [[Mario Golf (series)|golfing]] debut in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' for the [[Gamecube|GameCube]]. She is playable by default, and Star Daisy can be unlocked by defeating Daisy in a Character Match VS Challenge. In ''Doubles Mode'', Daisy and Peach are automatic partners, setting a trend for later games involving teams.  
Daisy is a young<ref>Shogakukan. 2015. ''Super Mario Bros. Hyakka: Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook'', page 15. 「サラサ・ランドのうら若きお姫様。タタンガという悪者にさらわれたことがある。」 ("''The young princess of the flipside, Sarasaland. She was kidnapped by a baddie by the name of Tatanga.''")</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 is one of the more powerful characters in the game, having a greater shot Distance than most other characters. Her shot Height is also high, making it easy to recover from traps and shoot over obstacles, however, making her shot more affected by the wind. She also has a good Spin, and above-average Impact. Without proper adjustments, however, she tends to Slice the ball due to her below-average Control. If the player gets a Nice Shot, Daisy's ball soars through the air in a burst of flower petals.
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.


====''Mario Golf: World Tour''====
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.  
Daisy appears in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' as a default, playable character. She wears her sports dress as opposed to the top and shorts worn in the previous golf installment. In Castle Club mode, she appears in the Royal Room with some of the other golfers. She readily offers to play a round of golf, and she comments on the player's achievements as they compete in the tournaments. Star Daisy can be unlocked by defeating her in the [[Forest Course]] character challenge, and a Daisy costume can be unlocked for use by the player's Mii by collecting all the [[Star Coins]] in the Forest Course challenges. Daisy clubs and a Daisy ball can also be unlocked for purchase at the Clubhouse.


She is again one of the more powerful characters, having a drive distance of 213 yards by default, and 270 as a star character. She also has the greatest shot height of any character, gaining advantage when avoiding obstacles and completing certain challenge objectives, but needing extra adjustments for inclement weather. Her trajectory is also a draw, so she has that in the way of tricky shots as well. Her sweet-spot and control are average, but compared to characters with similar stats, she has either a greater distance, or greater sweet-spot and control.
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.


===''Mario Tennis'' series===
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.
====''Mario Tennis''====
[[File:Mario Tennis GBC.PNG|thumb|left|Daisy's appearance at Peach's side in ''Mario Tennis'']]
Daisy makes her first playable appearance in the game ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]]. Daisy competes as a "Technique" type. In the intro, Daisy is seen getting along with Peach. She also serves as Luigi's tennis partner, and [[Birdo]] serves as hers. She rarely misses when playing close to the net, and she's the most powerful "Technique" character in the game.


In the [[Game Boy Color]] [[Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)|version]] of the game, Daisy appears as a supporting character during the game's "Exhibition Mode". Once the player is invited to "Mario World", Daisy compliments them. Daisy is shown to be close friends with Peach in this version, standing at her side in the throne room of [[Peach's Castle|her castle]] and at the [[Castle Court]].
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 Power Tennis''====
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>
[[File:DaisyMPT.png|thumb|Daisy returning Mario's hit on the [[Hard Court]].]]
In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'' Daisy is again a Technique type. She appears in the opening as Peach's tennis partner, and the two are default partners when in Doubles tournaments.


Daisy's [[Offensive Power Shot]], [[Wonder Flower]], disorients opponents and knocks them back if the shot is returned. The color of the petals also determines the type of shot used on the ball. Her [[Defensive Power Shot]], the [[Flowerbed Return]], allows her to fly over a growing flower-bed to return any reachable shots. Like all Technique types, she has great control on the ball. She also has the best serve of a Technique character, as well as good power, speed, and lunge stats. Her reach is average, resulting in limited net-play.
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 Open''====
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.
[[File:BabyMarioandDaisyWinTheFlowerCup.png|thumb|left|Daisy, posing next to the [[Flower Cup]] trophy in ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]''.]]
In ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'', Daisy returns as one of the starting participants with a Technique style of play. Daisy wears a more modern tennis outfit in this game. She generally retains her stats from her appearance in ''Mario Power Tennis''. In the [[Mario Tennis Open#Tennis Gear|shop]], she has her own racket (that costs 1000 coins), her own uniform (that costs 700 coins), her own wristbands (that costs 250 coins), her own shoes (that costs 600 coins) and her own costume that's unlocked when the player collects 700+ points in [[Ring Shot]] with another player.


===''Mario Party'' series===
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>
[[File:PeachDaisy_MP9.png|thumb|250px|Daisy and Peach holding a [[Dice Block]].]]
====Alternate outfits====
Daisy made her ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' debut in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' as a playable character (although only in Party Mode), and has appeared as a playable character in every game of the series since, with the exception of [[Mario Party Advance]]. Daisy's colour is yellow, and in Mario Party 3 her dress' bottom has white big top-like shapes going around all sides of the dress, but in later appearances Daisy wears a floor-length yellow gown with orange accents on the end. Also, instead of a golden crown she sports a red one, which was also changed into a golden crown in later appearances.
[[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's most notable ''Mario Party'' appearance is in ''Mario Party 3'', where, after the player is prompted to earn the [[Star Stamp|Beauty Star Stamp]], Daisy intervenes and claims to be worthy of it. She coaxes the [[Millennium Star]] into agreeing to hand her the Star Stamp by making him swoon over her, but is stopped by the outraged player. The Millennium Star then decides to settle the issue on the [[Backtrack]] Duel Board. Bowser interrupts their departure to this duel board, but is smacked by Daisy and sent flying into the distance. Daisy attempts to justify this by saying he was in her way. The group heads off to the duel board afterwards. When the player defeats Daisy, she bursts into tears and flees in frustration. In the game, Daisy's default duel board partner is a [[Snifit]].
 
Daisy makes her only physical appearance on the [[Game Boy Advance]] in ''[[Mario Party-e]]'' as a playable character, also making an appearance in the [[minigame]] [[Daisy's Rodeo!]], where Daisy rides and tries to stay on a mechanical bull designed to look like Bowser. In ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', Daisy appears in five of the [[Miracle Book]] pages: "Blooper, Ahoy", "Card Crazy", "Amp Attack", "Yoshi's Revenge", and "It Came From the Deep". Daisy's special [[Orb]] in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' is the [[Flower Orb]], which allows her to gain 3 coins for each space she passes with her next [[Dice Block]] roll. In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', Daisy has a [[List of Collectibles from Mario Party DS|Character Figurine and Badge]] that can both be unlocked by completing Story Mode with her. In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', Daisy has a [[List of constellations in Mario Party 9|constellation]] called "Princess Minor", which is purchasable at the Museum for 50 Party Points. Daisy also appears in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' as a playable character. Daisy is set to appear in [[Mario Party 10]] as a playable character once again.
 
===''Mario Kart'' series===
Daisy's debut in ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' is in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. In this game, Daisy is Peach's default partner, and they share the [[Heart (item)|Heart]], a powerful defensive item. Daisy is placed in the middle-weight category. Daisy also has a personal unlockable kart called the [[Bloom Coach]]. She also has her own course, the [[Daisy Cruiser]], a cruiser that belongs to her, as the name suggests. The course layout involves a pool, various metal stairs, various types of rooms and a cannon.
 
[[File:PrincessDaisyMKDS.png|Artwork of Daisy posing with her Standard kart for ''Mario Kart DS''.|thumb|left]]
Princess Daisy reappears in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', as an unlockable character. She is unlocked by getting a Gold Trophy on every cup in the Retro Grand Prix on 50cc. Daisy is once again a middle-weight character, and her three karts are the Standard DS, the [[Power Flower (kart)|Power Flower]], and the [[Light Dancer]]. Daisy is the staff ghost character for the [[Sky Garden (course)|Sky Garden]] and [[Tick-Tock Clock (race course)|Tick-Tock Clock]] courses.
 
[[File:DaisyMKWii2.png|thumb|250px|Daisy racing on her personal Circuit.]]
Daisy appears as an unlockable character in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', and is in the Medium weight class. She is unlocked by winning the 150cc Special Cup by getting first place or being in 2,850 races. Like Peach and [[Rosalina]], Daisy wears a new biker suit whenever she drives a [[bike]]. Daisy's stat bonuses are Speed +2, Handling +1, and Mini-Turbo +1, making her the fastest Medium-sized character in the game. Her counterpart, [[Baby Daisy]], debuts in this game.
 
Daisy has her own course in the Star Cup, called [[Daisy Circuit]], a seaside resort. Daisy is the staff ghost character for [[Coconut Mall]] and [[Daisy Circuit]].
 
In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', Daisy makes an appearance as an unlockable character. She is unlocked by winning the [[Mushroom Cup]] on 150cc. She is in the "Lightweight" category, and her personal [[kart]] is the [[Birthday Girl]]; which has her flower symbol decorating its front. When she uses the [[Peach Parasol (glider)|Peach Parasol]] for a glider, it becomes orange to match her color scheme as opposed to the standard pink color.
 
Daisy also has her own course in ''Mario Kart 7'' called [[Daisy Hills]], which is part of the Mushroom Cup. Additionally, [[Daisy Cruiser]] reappears as a retro course in the [[Leaf Cup]]. Daisy's bonus stats are high in "Acceleration" and "Off-Road", but lower in "Handling Speed".
 
In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', Daisy returns as a starting character for the first time since ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''. She retains her jumpsuit from ''Mario Kart Wii'' for when she uses bikes and ATVs, but will only wear her standard dress when using karts. Like the previous game, the Peach Parasol becomes orange when she uses the glider. Unlike other games, Daisy doesn't own any course, although [[Sweet Sweet Canyon]] and [[Royal Raceway]] make clear references to her persona.
 
Daisy is one of the lighter middleweights with her stats being tied with those of Peach and Yoshi. She is also the Staff Ghost for [[Moo Moo Meadows]]. When selecting her as a player on the [[Grand Prix]] mode, Waluigi and Peach will compete with her as main rivals.
 
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
====''Super Smash Bros. Melee''====
[[File:Peach_SSB4_Artwork_-_Daisy.jpg|thumb|right|[[Princess Peach]]'s alternate costume in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'' featuring Princess Daisy's colors.]]
Daisy first appears in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. She appears as a non-playable character in the form of an unlockable [[trophy]]. The trophy is available in both the Lottery and Regular Match in all three modes at various areas of the game. The trophy depicts her appearance from ''Mario Party 3''. The trophy's description states that she appeared in ''Mario Golf'' for Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color, though she actually appeared in ''Mario Tennis'' for those systems.
 
Additionally, Daisy's color-scheme is available for use by Peach as an alternate costume. Although the palette also appears in all future installments, this one includes Daisy's floral motif on the costume.
 
====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
Daisy appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' in the form of another trophy and two stickers. Daisy's trophy is modeled after her ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' appearance. The trophy's description states that her iconic look is a yellow and white dress, despite not having it since the Nintendo 64 era. Her stickers use artworks from ''Mario Party 7'' and ''Super Mario Strikers''. The ''Mario Party 7'' sticker is large and gives +27 attack to leg attacks, and is usable by Peach and [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]. The ''Super Mario Strikers'' sticker's size is medium, gives +5 attack to leg attacks, and is usable by all characters.
 
====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''====
Princess Daisy makes appearances in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', with different trophies of her in each version. In the 3DS version Daisy's trophy depicts her in her tennis outfit from ''Mario Tennis Open''. She is also mentioned in [[Wendy O. Koopa]]'s trophy information, where it is stated that Wendy sees her as a rival. In the Wii U version she has three different trophies. One is based on her standard appearance in her yellow and orange dress, dedicated to her debut in ''Super Mario Land'' and her first playable appearance in ''Mario Tennis''. Another trophy is based on her appearance in the ''Mario Baseball'' series in her sports outfit. The third depicts her appearance as [[Baby Daisy]].
 
Additionally, a Daisy wig can be unlocked as an accessory for [[Mii Fighter]]s. [[File:Luigi and Daisy.JPG|thumb|right|Luigi along with a [[Mii Fighter]] resembling Princess Daisy.]]
 
===''Mario Baseball'' series===
====''Mario Superstar Baseball''====
[[File:DaisyBatting.PNG|left|200px|thumb|Replay of Daisy achieving a Perfect hit at the batter's plate.]]
Daisy's first [[Mario Baseball (series)|baseball]] appearance is in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', as a Balanced player. Daisy appears in Challenge Mode as the secondary Team Captain on Peach's team. Daisy shares good chemistry with both Peach and Luigi, while she shares bad chemistry with characters such [[Waluigi]] and [[Petey Piranha]]. Daisy's Star Pitch, the [[Flower Ball]], allows her to throw a gust of flower petals that hide the ball from the batter when Daisy is pitching.
 
As a Star Swing, the Flower Ball flies at a higher distance than normal and is masked by flower petals. In the game's Challenge Mode, Daisy is able to use this move once the player has purchased the [[Pretty Flowers]] power-up. Daisy's special talents are the Quick Throw and Sliding Catch, and her stronger points are pitching and batting.
 
====''Mario Super Sluggers''====
[[File:Daisy-mss-intro-2.png|thumb|250px|Daisy countering a pitch thrown from Mario in the ''Mario Super Sluggers'' opening.]]
Daisy appears again as one of the Team Captains in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. Daisy shares chemistry with Peach and Luigi, but now also shares chemistry with [[Birdo]]. The Daisy Cruiser returns, but this time as a baseball stadium. Daisy's special swing and pitch are based off flower abilities in this installment as well. [[Baby Daisy]] also appears in this installment.
 
Despite Daisy being available from the start overall, like the majority of initially unlocked characters she still has to be added to the roster in Challenge Mode. In this mode, she is in Peach's team. To unlock her, the player needs to fix the fountain in [[Peach Ice Garden]] and replace Daisy, who was transformed into a statue by Bowser Jr., with a normal Toad statue. When rescued, she thanks the player and tells them that she was taking a stroll when Bowser Jr. cast a spell on her and that she doesn't remember anything afterwards. She joins the team once she finishes.
 
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.
 
===''Mario Strikers'' series===
====''Super Mario Strikers''====
[[File:DaisyStrikers.png|thumb|Daisy showing off for a victory.]]
Daisy is introduced to the ''[[Mario Strikers (series)|Mario Strikers]]'' series in the first installment, ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]''. In this game, Daisy is an offensive-type captain who wears an orange number "9" jersey. She possesses the ability to perform her [[Super Strike]] called [[Super Strike#Princess Daisy - Torpedo Strike|Torpedo Strike]], and her default partners are a [[Monty Mole]], a [[Koopa Troopa]], and a [[Toad (species)|Toad]].
 
====''Mario Strikers Charged''====
[[File:DaisyStrikersCharged.png|200px|thumb|left|Daisy's second uniform in ''Mario Strikers Charged''.]]
Princess Daisy also appears in ''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'', now with an alternative teal-coloured uniform that she uses if the opposition wears a similarly coloured uniform to her primary orange uniform, both of which retain the number 9 she had on her original uniform in the first instalment. This time, Daisy is a defensive-type captain with high Movement (which affects her movement speed) and Defence (which determines her defensive capabilities on the field) but low Shooting and Passing ability. Like the other captains, Daisy has a personal [[Super Ability]] and [[Mega Strike]].
 
Her Super Ability is [[Crystal Smash!]], which covers the surrounding ground with sharp orange crystals, blasting away anyone in the range, while her Mega Strike involves her shooting into the air and generating a crystal gauntlet on one of her arms, which she uses to punch the ball towards the goal. In the game's Striker Challenge Mode, Daisy faces against both Peach and Waluigi. She battles Peach to take the Star Cup championship, and she takes on Waluigi to see if she can get the Brick Wall award for an unprecedented fifth straight year. Her default partners remain as they were in the original.


===''Yakuman DS''===
For Daisy's official breakthrough into the ''Super Mario'' franchise overall in ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], Daisy wears a dress similar to the one she wore in ''NES Open Tournament Golf'', where the primary colors are amber yellow and the polka dots and linings are white. In addition, she wore orange shoes with white high socks to suits the sports theme properly. She also had an alternative color palette in Short Game mode, where her dress was lavender and indigo, while the shoes were colored indigo as well.
In ''[[Yakuman DS]]'', Daisy appears as one of the unlockable characters, and she is a normal opponent. Statistically, she has high luck, low defense and moderate attack, speed, and skill. Daisy never melds her tiles unless it is a "closed kan". She is the Rank 10 opponent faced in Ranking Mode.


===''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''===
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''.
[[File:DaisyHoops.png|thumb|right|150px|Daisy's profile artwork for ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3.]]
Daisy made her second [[Nintendo DS]] appearance in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]''. Daisy is a Technical player. Daisy's [[Special Shot]] is the [[Flower Shot]], which lets Daisy hover in mid-air to kick the ball in the hoop. The flower shot is activated by tapping a vertically flipped triangle. Daisy has her own stage known as [[Daisy Garden]].


===''Itadaki Street'' series===
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.
====''Itadaki Street DS''====
Daisy appears in the Dragon Quest crossover game, ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]''; a Japan only release. Daisy is a playable C-rank difficulty-level character.


====''Fortune Street''====
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.
Daisy returns as a playable participant in the sequel to the Japanese exclusive ''Itadaki Street DS'', ''[[Fortune Street]]'' for the Nintendo Wii. She is one of the thirteen playable Mario series characters in this installment, and is again a C-rank character. In Tour Mode, Daisy is only faced on [[Mario Circuit]], along with [[Mario]] and [[Diddy Kong]].


===''Mario & Sonic'' series===
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.


In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', Daisy is a playable character. She is in the speed class along Sonic, Shadow and Yoshi. All her special abilities in this game are references to her flowers affinity.
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.
[[File:Highjump.PNG|thumb|170px|left|Daisy participating in the High Jump event. (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games)]]
Daisy returns in the sequel, ''[[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 in both versions as well as a Flower Dash technique in the DS version. Following a trend from previous installments, Daisy and other female characters sport a new outfit specifically for the winter games.  


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 speed and acceleration.[[File:Daisy Artwork - Mario & Sonic Sochi 2014.png|thumb|right|Artwork of Daisy skiing.|150px]]
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.


Daisy once again returns as a playable character in the third instalment, ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', in both the Wii and DS versions. She reappears in the summer outfit she used in ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'' while debuting her gymnastic clothes.
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.


There is a Daisy costume for the player to unlock and use on their Mii. Daisy also has her own sticker in the London Party Mode.  
[[File:Daisy SSBUltimate.png|thumb|Daisy in her ''Super Smash Bros.'' dress|220px]]
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 reappears in the fourth installment of the ''[[Mario & Sonic (series)|Mario & Sonic]]'' series, ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]''. She returns in her winter outfit first seen in ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''.
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.

====Story Mode====
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.
In the DS version of ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'', the [[Adventure Tours]] mode features Daisy as a key character in thwarting Bowser and Eggman's evil plans. She is first found in Blizland, where the player must use Blaze to defeat her in [[Ultimate Figure Skating]]. Afterwords, she competes in a minigame in Ice Peak to protect an affectionate [[sonicretro:Chao|Chao]]'s Freezalea patch from a wild [[sonicretro:Kiki|Kiki]].


Daisy is later used to complete two missions run by [[Lakitu]]: [[Speed Skating|Short Track]] and [[Intense Short Track]]. Lakitu requests Daisy to boost crowd appeal, and he offers the Meteor Curling Stone as a reward; the Meteor Curling Stone is used to complete the game's final missions, including the boss battle with Bowser and Eggman. Once the final battle is won by Mario and Sonic, every character chimes on their [[File:Girlteam-MSALOGDS.jpg|150px|left|thumb|Daisy on the Girls Team for Mario & Sonic at the London Olympic Games DS]] hand in victory, with Daisy stating her complete doubt that they'd lose to misfits like Bowser and Eggman.
In the 3DS version of ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games'', Daisy is part of the Girls group. Prior to the day of the Games and Bowser and Eggman shrouding [[wikipedia:London|London]] in fog, Daisy checks on Peach, [[Amy]], [[Blaze]], and several Toads to see how they were faring with the stamps for the athletes' invitations, which they were behind on. Diasy mentions that she plans to head to a boutique, tempting Amy into procrastinating and joining her. Peach suggests that they settle this over an event; if she beats Daisy, she stays behind to help, and if Daisy beats her, Amy can go with her. Peach ends up beating Daisy, and she agrees to help the group with the invitations, eventually sending them to everyone except Bowser and Eggman, due to a mishap.
On the morning of the Games, Daisy wanders through the foggy Hyde Park, wondering where everyone is. She runs into Amy, and eventually they both run into foggy versions of Peach and Blaze, who challenge Daisy and Amy to an event. The duo emerges victorious, only to be ambushed by an army of Peach and Amy clones afterwards. Daisy and Amy are later found, collapsed on the ground, but unhurt. They help the rest of the crew clear Hyde Park of the fog.
===''Mario Sports Mix''===
[[File:DaisyMSMix.png|thumb|200px|Daisy while performing her special shot in ''Mario Sports Mix'']]
In ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', Daisy appears again as a Technical character. Daisy's technique is maxed out, while her speed and power are average. Daisy's central abilities are her flower-oriented abilities, through which she can make gardens complete with fences and cover her hands in flowers in a similar manner to pompoms to block and attack projectiles.
Daisy also shows off incredible flexibility in her spin attack, and is given an alternate outfit called Tennis-wear. It is unlocked by clearing the proper Flower Cup mission, or by using Daisy 40 times in matches. [[Daisy Garden]] also makes a return from ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'', and can be played in all sports except Volleyball (with the exception of a special mission).
===Other appearances===

====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 of herself depicting her original design.<ref>[[Media:Super_Mario_Land_Finger_Puppets_Set_Sheet.jpg|Bandai Super Mario Land Figures]]</ref> 
[[File:Chess2.jpg|left|100px|thumb|Daisy in Super Mario Chess]]

====Music====
[[File:Super Mario Land Ost.jpg|left|150px|thumb|Daisy on the back of Super Mario Land OST]]
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.

===Personality===
{{multiple image
[[File:Mpsrart21.png|thumb|180px|left|Profile artwork of Daisy for ''Mario Party: Star Rush'']]
|align=right
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 well known to be a tomboy by reason of her extroverted personality and tough demeanor. She can be described as energetic, cheerful, and confident. She also has a sassy side, often regarded for her wittiness and attitude. Daisy tends to stand with her hands on her hips, and is prone to air-kisses and showboating during victory celebrations. She has a strong competitive drive, too. In the face-of-defeat she has exhibited hotheadedness, and has shown-off to get her way.
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 is likewise seen as not being as proper or poised as she would be based on her appearance and status as royalty. A unique trait she retains is using various American English accents and slang. She has repeatedly used one-liners said in a Dixie accent, Valleyspeak, and even Ebonics. It has also been suggested that her color representation may symbolize her personality, with her favorite color being orange since she was a baby.
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''.


===Physical description===
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.
Daisy is a human with blue eyes and titian hair. Daisy has average weight and height compared to most characters, usually being in the "Medium" or "Light" [[Mario_Kart_(series)#Medium|weight-classes]] in ''Mario Kart'', and being shorter than Peach.<ref>[[Media:PeachDaisySize.png|Size Chart]]</ref> Her eyes are round and large, with each having two, thick lashes on the side. She has long hair with a flip, and parted bangs with a winged-style. Her hair color ranges in shades, but is officially referred to as orange.<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>


Daisy is represented by the colors yellow, orange, and green. She usually wears a yellow gown with orange and white accents. Wrist-length white gloves, orange high heels, and a golden crown are included. Daisy wears viridian-green jewels, surrounded by flower-shaped white rims as a staple.
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.


====Alternate outfits====
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.
[[File:Daisy volley london.png|thumb|left|150px]]
Daisy's primary athletic wear is a two-piece outfit, introduced in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''. It includes a yellow tank top, orange shorts, and tennis shoes with socks. Daisy appears in this more often than any other outfit, including her usual gown.  


She also has an athletic miniskirt, introduced in ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''. It is a yellow skirt with orange accents at the bottom resembling the ruffles on her usual gown. This outfit was first an unlockable alternative to her two-piece athletic wear, but has been used in some subsequent games as her primary athletic wear.
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>Hamm & Rudolf GmbH, Frankfurt. ''Super Game Boy'' Player's Guide. Page 16. "'''''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!''"</ref>


[[File:Daisywinter.png|right|200px|thumb|Daisy's winter outfit]]
===Powers and abilities===
In ''Super Mario Strikers'', Daisy wears a two-piece soccer uniform. In ''Mario Strikers Charged'', she dons added armor to the outfit. The uniform includes numerous flower patterns, and is available in two colors. The first is mostly orange while the alternate is mostly teal or viridian. 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''.  
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''.
 
In ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'', Daisy wears an outfit more suited for cold weather. The outfit is a yellow mini-dress with an orange shrug and orange leggings with vertical white stripes on both sides. White gloves and ankle boots with a yellow bottom are included. As of ''Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games'' the hoop of the mini-dress and rim of the gloves are fuzzy.  


In ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games'', Daisy wears a yellow leotard with orange lining on either side. The outfit also functions as a one-piece swimsuit in aquatic events.
[[File:Daisydaisybat.png|thumb|left|upright=1.1|Daisy executing her "Flower Swing" in ''Mario Super Sluggers'']]
Most of Daisy's [[abilities]] and powers use some sort of flower-related effect, either as a visual side-effect or an active part of the technique. These often take the form of making petals appear, ranging from her [[Flower Ball]] abilities in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', which use petals to obscure the ball from the opponents' view, to her offensive ''Mario Power Tennis'' move [[Wonder Flower (move)|Wonder Flower]], giving her hits special powers determined by the color of the petals surrounding her racket, to the simple visual flair they bring to her ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'' [[Flower Shot]]. In ''Mario Golf: World Tour'', one of her victory animations even features her changing from her tennis outfit into her standard appearance in a flurry of petals. In other games, she can summon entire flowers from the ground, such as a garden fence and a patch of daisies to block other players from catching the ball hit with her Flower Swing in ''Mario Super Sluggers'', or the bed of daisies appearing beneath her during her defensive ''Mario Power Tennis'' [[Flowerbed Return]].


In ''Mario Kart Wii'', Daisy wears a jumpsuit when riding [[Bike|motorbikes]] instead of [[Kart|karts]]. Daisy's jumpsuit is mostly white with yellow as a secondary color. It includes a scarf, and a heart graphic on the back.
[[File:Daisy Torpedo Strike.png|150px|thumb|Daisy executing her "Torpedo Strike" in ''Super Mario Strikers'']]
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]].


===Development===
In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', she was shown to have enough physical strength to effortlessly send Bowser flying into the sky with a single slap.
In ''Super Mario Land'', the developers wanted the game to take place in new worlds, far away from the Mushroom Kingdom.<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2009/07/27/ign-presents-the-history-of-game-boy?page=2]</ref> Princess Daisy was created to fill the damsel-in-distress role for the new setting, Sarasaland. In conjunction with the [[Sarasaland#Name_origins|name origins]] of her country, she was named after the daisy accessories that make up her motif.<ref>[https://33.media.tumblr.com/4bfeef6b3b55778ae2c619ea3d4aa3e4/tumblr_n4l7zuGNxz1sm2sazo2_1280.jpg|''With LUIGI 30th Anniversary: The Year of LUIGI Memorial Book'']</ref> Despite her role, Daisy was given the unique description of being an energetic tomboy;<ref name="Tomboy" /> defining traits that carried through years later.

Her appearance, however, has since changed. Daisy's hair was longer, reaching past her waist. Her crown was red, and consisted of a yellow and white, flower jewel.<ref>''Super Mario Land'' box-art</ref> Her dress consisted of a white waist-band, and a white, dollop pattern. In ''NES Open Tournament Golf'', she sported an athletic minidress. Her eyes and jewels were shown to be blue for the first time, as previously both were black. The dress still used the dollop-pattern, and its length revealed yellow slippers; this outfit did not include her crown or floral gloves. Even at the time of these early appearances, Daisy had unique facial-features from Peach.

[[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 ''Mario Tennis'', her unique features were enhanced, becoming more in-line with how she appears today. Her hair was made darker, and she was also given a tan; in-game the tan was not present. Soon after in ''Mario Party 3'', she wore her full attire again for the first time since her debut. Her crown was now rose-colored, and blue jewels were added to the sides; in-game her crown was still red. Her shoes were depicted as heels for the first time, and were shown to be orange. While in artwork her jewels were the usual blue, in-game they were closer to the green they are today. The green jewels were even included on her trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', which is one of the last uses of this general appearance of hers.
[[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>" ''"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. Now she lives near Luigi, using his course to practice for the All Tour Cup she has her eye on.''" Hodgson, David. ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'': [[Prima Games|Prima's]] Official Strategy Guide. Page 28.</ref><ref>" ''"Hi, I'm Daisy!" 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.''" Hodgson, David. ''Mario Kart: Wii'': [[Prima Games|Prima's]] Official Strategy Guide. Page 21.</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.


As of ''Mario Party 4'', her appearance was updated not only in-line with the series' graphical changes from the ''Nintendo 64'' to the ''GameCube'', but also to further establish her as a unique character. This also solidified a more consistent look for her design. She again has the light skin of her original appearance, but her physical features were made more distinctive. Her hair was made shorter in the back, and for the first time she has a different body-type than Peach. Both made for a more distinguishing silhouette. Her crown was made gold, but she was given more unique coloration, overall. She now wears orange in place of most of the white, and this finally establishes the green jewels instead of blue.
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.


===Powers and abilities===
[[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.
Princess Daisy's [[abilities]] and powers are based on her large relations to flowers. Most of her special abilities use some sort of flower-related effect. She can magically summon flowers from the ground or make petals appear in the air. Daisy's style of play and use of her flower abilities changes depending on what activity she's participating in. Daisy's range of abilities can be summarized as all-around, with a certain change in each game that determines the overall style. Like other Mario characters, Daisy can [[punch]], [[kick]], [[jump]], and even [[Ground Pound|ground pound]].


In [[Mario Golf: World Tour]], one of Daisy's victory animations features her changing from her tennis outfit into her gown in a flurry of petals, which seems to be another magical ability of hers.
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.


====Special abilities====
====Enemies====
[[File:Daisydaisybat.png|thumb|200px|Daisy's "Flower Swing" in use.]]
[[File:MP4 Waluigi awestruck.png|thumb|upright=1.1|Daisy and Waluigi in the ''Mario Party 4'' opening]]
In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', Daisy has the longest hit ratio for any human player. In ''Mario Power Tennis'', Daisy is a technical player who has two special moves. The first is called [[Wonder Flower]], which is an offensive power shot where Daisy summons huge petals around her racket. The other is called [[Flowerbed Return]], which is a defensive power shot where Daisy summons a bed of daisies underneath her while she is in the air. In ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', Daisy is once again a technical player. She uses flower powers in her special move, the [[Flower Shot]], in which she summons a barrage of petals around herself and then kicks the ball into the net.
Daisy 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>"What a disappointing little shop! But I shouldn't be surprised. After all, it's yours, Waluigi" - Daisy to Waluigi, in ''Fortune Street''</ref> while when she lands on an average shop, she asks why she needs to stop here and she feels disgusted.<ref>"Why did I have to stop here? Not only is it overpriced, it's run by Waluigi! Icky icky ew!" - Daisy, in ''Fortune Street''</ref> In ''Mario Tennis Aces'', she felt that Waluigi and Wario were more suspicious than usual,<ref>"I have a bad feeling about this. Wario and Waluigi were even more suspicious than usual." - Daisy, in ''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>"Haven't you learned anything?! Didn't you see that Mario beat Lucien anyway, despite its terrible power?" - Daisy to Wario and Waluigi, in ''Mario Tennis Aces''</ref>


In ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', she is a Balanced player who leans towards Technique. She can easily hit a home run if she receives a good pitch. Daisy's special pitch and swing in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' are both known as the [[Flower Ball]]. This technique uses flower petals to hide the ball from any opponents' eyes, giving Daisy an almost guaranteed hit or strike.
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.


This is also displayed again in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. For Daisy's ''Flower Swing'', she swings around with flower petals all-about and hits the ball. Once the ball's destination is set a patch of daises pops up from the ground surrounded by a small garden-fence, blocking any players from getting in range of catching the ball. For Daisy's ''Flower Ball'', Daisy spins and throws a ball covered in flowers.
Daisy, 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>"I bet Bowser seriously thinks this goofy castle is totally intimidating. As if!" - Daisy, in ''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]].
[[File:Daisysuperstrike.jpg|150px|left|thumb|Daisy's Torpedo Strike]]
In ''[[Super Mario Strikers]]'', Daisy is an offensive captain. Daisy's Super Strike is called the [[Super Strike#Princess Daisy - Torpedo Strike|Torpedo Strike]].  


In ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', Daisy is for the first time, a [[Speed]] character. Although she is a Speed character, her rounded technique still qualifies her for a balanced range of event handicaps. In certain game types where it is available, Daisy can use some of her flower powers to do various things such as spike the ping-pong ball, do a rapid combo attack in fencing, and others.
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.

In the ''Mario Baseball'' series, Daisy and Waluigi share bad chemistry.
 
Daisy slaps Bowser into the sky without hesitation or regret in ''Mario Party 3'', and refers to him as a misfit in ''Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games'' after he and Eggman are defeated in the Adventure Tours mode.

===''Super Mario Land''===
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.

==Trivia==
*The ''Super Mario Land'' instruction booklet calls Daisy "'''Daisy Princess'''" on the thirteenth page, even though her official name is "Princess Daisy" (as seen elsewhere in the manual). This is likely because the Japanese for Daisy's name, Deiji-hime, places the word for ''Daisy'' before the word for ''Princess''.
*Princess Daisy's ''Mario Super Sluggers'' baseball card listed her Rookie Year as 1990, but the game that she first appeared in, ''Super Mario Land'', was released in 1989.
*Princess Daisy is the only ''Mario Kart Double Dash!!'' newcomer present in all future ''Mario Kart'' games. Only she and Waluigi returned in ''Mario Kart DS'', while Waluigi was absent in ''Mario Kart 7''.
*The ''Mario Kart Wii'' guide states Mario and Luigi saved Daisy from Tatanga, but Luigi was not present in ''Super Mario Land''.
*Daisy's trophy from Super Smash Bros. Melee has a third eye behind her hair at the back of head, though this is a glitch.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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!"
