Princess Daisy

"I'll flower you with power!"

- Princess Daisy

Princess Daisy (Japanese: Deiji-Hime) is the princess of Sarasaland, who first appeared in the game Super Mario Land. Daisy is known to be a tomboy, and her special abilities often deal with flowers. She is best friends with Princess Peach, and rumored to be in a romantic relationship with Luigi. Daisy has been appearing in the Mario series for almost eight years straight. She was created by Gunpei Yokoi, Shigeru Miyamoto's mentor. Yokoi passed away eight years after her debut appearance, and three years before she appeared as a major character in another Mario game. It is possible that Daisy's re-debut into the Mario series was a tribute to his passing.

The Invasion of Sarasaland
During the events of Super Mario Land, Sarasaland, a neighboring desert nation friendly to the Mushroom Kingdom, was invaded by the space invader Tatanga. His armies conquered the country, and Daisy, the leader of Sarasaland, was kidnapped by him. Mario attempted to rescue the princess and liberate Sarasaland. Mario had to travel through each kingdom of Sarasaland, fighting new enemies at the end of each one. Every time he defeated a level's Boss, what appeared to be Daisy would thank the hero; however it turned out that common enemies were simply disguised as Daisy, forcing Mario to explore another kingdom. In the end Mario found the real Daisy being held captive by Tatanga. After a long battle in his plane, the Sky Pop, Mario was able to defeat Tatanga and rescue Daisy. The game ends with Mario and Daisy flying away in the Sky Pop.

Although Daisy did not actually appear in the sequel, Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, the game revealed that Wario had, in fact, hired Tatanga to kidnap Princess Daisy in the previous game. Wario used Princess Daisy's kidnapping as bait to lure Mario to Sarasaland. This gave Wario the time to conquer Mario Land while Mario was distracted.

Minor Help
For a long period of time, Daisy was considered an obscure character in the Mario franchise. After being rescued from Tatanga, Daisy snagged a cameo as Luigi's caddy in NES Open Tournament Golf. After that, she appeared as a clerk in the game Mario is Missing. Like other people Luigi spoke to throughout the game, Daisy provided Luigi with information about the area the green plumber was at, or information on the artifact Luigi was holding. This was mostly for educational purposes, as the game was basically just that.

Becoming Part of the Gang
Daisy made her reappearance in the Marioverse about one decade after her appearance in Open Tournament Golf and Mario is Missing, in the games Mario Tennis and Mario Party 3. In Mario Party 3, these traits endured, but her tomboyish side was greatly emphasized, and she was rather boastful about herself. In fact, proving that she was not simply a "dainty princess", Daisy actually punched Bowser, sending him soaring into the sky; simply because he was in her way. Her partner in battle mode was a Snifit whom had a large attack strength and defense. Daisy, like Waluigi, was not playable in the story mode of the game; however, she appeared after the player completed the first five regular/Duel boards. When this occurred, Daisy would appear and butter up the Millennium Star into giving her the Beauty Star Stamp. The Millennium Star began to award her the Star Stamp, but the player contested that decision. Afterwards, the Millennium Star decided the player and Daisy should duel on the Backtrack Board for the stamp. Daisy has appeared in every Mario Party and Mario Tennis console game since.

Flower Power Revealed!
Daisy missed the chance to appear in Mario Golf for the Nintendo 64, but she made it to the next installment, Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour. Daisy was one of the strongest characters in the game. Surpassing power character Wario, Daisy had as much strength behind her swing as Donkey Kong. If the player were to get a "Nice Shot!", Daisy's ball would soar through the air with a tail of flower petals. This Meant that, Toadstool Tour, was actually the first game Daisy used any sort of flower power.

Daisy also missed quite a few of the past Mario Kart titles; however, she made her racing debut in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Daisy was Princess Peach's automatic partner, and she shared the best defensive special item in the game, the Heart. Daisy also has her own level in Double Dash called the Daisy Cruiser. The Daisy Cruiser can be seen drifting in the ocean on the Peach Beach course. Daisy had a kart dedicated to her in this game called the Bloom Coach which is a retexture of Peach's Kart, the Heart Coach.

Return of the Flower Power!
Daisy's next appearance in the Mario Tennis series, Mario Power Tennis, introduced her Technique style. This is one of the first games where she is shown to be interested in flowers. Unlike the first Mario Tennis Daisy no longer had her old style; in fact, it was completely replaced with a new style seen in her tournament winning cut-scenes. She and the rest of the Mario gang made their first appearance on the baseball field in Mario Superstar Baseball. For the first time Daisy was a Balanced player that leaned more towards Technique. This was also the first game that noted Daisy being physically stronger than Peach.

Dual-Screen Daisy
Princess Daisy made a return to the Mario Kart series in her inclusion to Mario Kart DS as an unlockable player. This was Daisy's second hand-held appearance since her debut to the Mario series. Daisy is a lightweight character unlike in Double Dash, where only small characters were light. She has good acceleration and top speed, great drifting and item using, but low handling.

Daisy made her second Nintendo DS appearance in Mario Hoops 3 on 3. In Mario Hoops, Daisy's Special Shot is the Flower Shot. Like previous sports titles, Daisy once again has her own stage, the Daisy Garden - a garden where two Petey Piranhas replace normal basketball hoops. This makes it hard to dunk, but easy to shoot. She also appeared in the Dragon Quest crossover game, Itadaki Street DS. She was a playable character, but her non-playable role had something to do with the Mario Stadium from Mario Superstar Baseball.

Bend It Like Daisy
Once again Daisy joins up with the Mario gang; this time, to play soccer. Daisy was introduced to the Mario Strikers series in the first installment, Super Mario Strikers. In this game, Daisy was an Offensive Captain who wore the number "09" jersey and possessed the ability to perform the Super Strike called the Torpedo Strike.

She also appears in the sequel, Mario Strikers Charged. Now qualified as a defensive character, she has a personal Super Ability and a Mega Strike. Her Super Ability is Crystal Smash!, which covers the surrounding ground with Crystals, blasting away anyone who is near. In her Mega Strike, Daisy summons a crystal gauntlet around her hand, and punches the ball towards the goal. In this games Striker Challenge Mode, Daisy faces up against both Peach and Waluigi. She battles Peach to take the Star Cup championship, and she takes on Waluigi to see if she can get the Brick Wall award for an unprecedented fifth straight year.

Beijing Medals
In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Daisy appears as, for the first time, a speed character. Being well balanced for many event types, Daisy is a good choice for a variety of play. Not only does Daisy appear in the Wii version, but also the DS version. Small use of her flower powers can be seen throughout certain event capabilities.

A False Invite
Daisy also joins the compact capable gang in Mario Party DS. Daisy is informed by Mario, along with the rest of the characters, that he has received an invitation to go to Bowser's castle. They all tentatively accept the invite, but are trapped and shrunken down to size where they then start a friendly rivalry to see who will be the next super-star.

The Future
Daisy has been confirmed to be playable in Super Mario Stadium Baseball. She is speculated to be appearing in Mario Kart Wii.

Physical Description and Traits
Daisy's current appearance has her in a yellow and orange dress. The dress includes flower accessories throughout the outfit. The dress also includes flower based frills on her sleeves and neck. At the bottom of the dress are two orange hoops, and at her waist are two orange flaps of cloth. She also wears short white gloves with flower frills at the wrist, and orange dress shoes. Depending on the game, Daisy's hair can be anywhere in between brown and red. Daisy's hair style consists of two parted bangs, and shoulder length hair that frills up at the end like the Mario Bros. hair does. Daisy is taller than most others, being passed only by larger scaled characters like Waluigi and Bowser. Daisy and Peach appear to have similar measurements when it comes to their bodies, but Daisy has been shown to be stronger than many characters including Peach. Like every other main Human Mario character, Daisy has blue eyes.

In Mario sports titles, she is usually depicted in orange sports shorts. She wears a yellow sleeveless shirt along with the usual flower accessories. Daisy appears much more tomboyish when compared to Peach, who consistently wears a short skirt and shades of pink to these sports outings. The primary exceptions to this were in Mario Tennis on the Nintendo 64, in which Daisy, like Peach, is wearing an orange sports dress with the usual flower brooch and earrings. Another big difference is that Daisy does not wear a crown in this game, whereas Peach does. Later on, in the game Mario Hoops 3 on 3, the player can unlock a refined version of Daisy's Mario Tennis short skirt sports outfit. Also, in Super Mario Strikers, Daisy wears a 2-piece soccer outfit; this created some controversy among fans. In the sequel, Mario Strikers Charged, Daisy appears in an outfit similar, but she now wears protective gear as well; this is due to the increased intensity of the game.

Powers and Abilities
Daisy's abilities are based around the fact she is one of the few "Technical" characters in the Mario series who actually has a large amount of physical strength. Because of this, she often leans towards balance skills, but is usually a light-weight technical character. Her powers consist of anything relating to flowers and the earth. Throughout her many appearances, Daisy has used flower powers in the high majority of her special moves. In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Daisy had the longest hit ratio for any human player, being out ranked only by powerhouses Bowser and Donkey Kong. In Mario Power Tennis, Daisy was a technical player who had two special moves. The first was called Wonder Flower, which is an offensive power shot where Daisy summons huge petals around her racket. The other is called Flowerbed Return, which is a defensive power shot where Daisy literally flies above the ground where a bed of daisies appear under her until she reaches the ball. In Mario Superstar Baseball she was a balanced player who leaned towards technique instead of being a technical player who leaned towards balance. She could easily hit a home run if the timing was right or if the placement was well done. Daisy's special pitch and swing in Mario Superstar Baseball are both known as the Flower Ball. This technique uses flower petals to hide the ball from any opponents' eyes, giving Daisy an almost guaranteed hit or strike. In Mario Party 7, Daisy was able to show off her love for flowers, as her special team orb was the Flower Orb. In Super Mario Strikers Daisy was an offensive captain who was more of the tackle first and plan things out later type of girl. Daisy's Super Strike was called the Torpedo Strike. In this Super Strike, Daisy launches the ball at the goal, and images of daisies fly all about. In Mario Hoops 3 on 3 Daisy is once again a technical player. She used flower powers in her special move, the Flower Shot. The Flower Shot works by Daisy summoning a barrage of petals around herself which seem to lift her into the air where she then kicks the ball into the hoop. In Mario Strikers Charged Daisy showed a new form of powers other than her usual flower abilities. She used the ability of summoning huge crystals and minerals, maybe a reference to an earth bender type of girl; meaning that she can use "flower and stones from the earth". Not only that, but her deke involved teleportation. Depending on how charged the ball is, Daisy can teleport a long distance by doing a spin in smoke. After the spin she re-appears a certain amount of length away in the direction the player is pointing the d-pad. In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Daisy is for the first time, a Speed character. Her usual above-average strength is not at all present and she happens to be a complete athletic powerhouse. Although she is a Speed character her rounded technique still qualifies her for a balanced range of event handicaps.

Daisy has been shown in promotional art using various items from various games. It should be noted that Daisy has had three different pieces of art where she is holding a baseball bat: one from Mario Party 3, another from Mario Party 4, and finally in her Mario Superstar Baseball piece. She has also been shown using a soccer ball in various promotional art. Other items she has been seen using are a butterfly net, a Chain Chomp whistle, and a camera. Like other Mario characters, Daisy can punch, kick, jump, and even ground pound.

Personality
Daisy has a tomboyish personality. It has been said that Daisy is always full of energy, and it's evident that she is full of spirit due to her cheerful nature. Her team name when partnered with Boo in Mario Party 8 happens to be "High Spirited Duo"; obviously basing it off the fact Boo is a spirit and that she is full of spirit. In each of the game's she appears in she is widely acknowledged as a tom-boy or "less feminine" than her royal pal, Princess Peach. As such, Daisy is not as "dainty" or "fragile" compared to what one might think from her appearance. She also has a huge competitive drive, though it's apparent she knows it's all in good fun. Daisy tends to speak more in common contemporary vernacular than other characters; examples of this are when she says things in a slang tone of voice. In Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64, she was depicted as being a bit clumsy. This was shown in her tournament victory cut-scene where she started thanking everyone and suddenly tripped off the stage with her trophy. Additionally, in Mario Party 3, Daisy revealed her seductive side by showing off her good looks and flirting with the Millennium Star to get a free badge. Simply by doing a twirl the Millennium Star practically fell in love with her, and was willing to give the badge to her right away. In Mario Strikers Charged her personality is much more defined. A good example would be her theme, New Wave, a brand of punk rock. However, this style of New Wave used as Daisy's theme is not as rough as most punk rock styles. This shows that she is very energetic, bold, and has the personality of a "skater girl". Daisy can be summarized as an energetic, friendly, and fun loving girl who can, so to speak, "hang with the guys."

Peach
Peach is the most notable relationship Daisy has with any of the Mario characters. Daisy has been known to be good friends with Peach ever since her big comeback appearance in Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64. If something involves partners in the Mario spin-offs the two will usually be a team. Naturally, the two of them enjoy a friendly rivalry, but for the most part they enjoy each other's company. Like Luigi, the two share good chemistry in the game Mario Superstar Baseball, and Daisy is Peach's team's co-captain. By their friendship, one can assume that the Mushroom Kingdom and Sarasaland have very good foreign relations.

Mario
Mario was the one who rescued Daisy from the clutches of Tatanga in Super Mario Land, and she rewarded him with a kiss upon her rescue. This may be considered odd when the player takes into count Daisy has never actually kissed her rumored love, Luigi. At the same time though it was probably done simply to keep a classical Mario game ending scene. Mario has never explicitly expressed an interest in her, and other than the kiss Daisy hasn't expressed an interest in him either. Her kissing him could have been merely a 'thank you'. The two seem to be nothing more then good friends. However, in Mario Party 6, Mario and Daisy are given the name "Nice Couple" when paired together, implying that Daisy and Mario could make a good match, or that they are just simply friends considering they do not share chemistry at all in Mario Superstar Baseball.

Luigi
Luigi is rumored to be Daisy's love interest, and vice versa. As previously noted, one of Daisy's only appearances between Super Mario Land and Mario Tennis was as Luigi's caddy in NES Open Tournament Golf, just as Peach was Mario's caddy. This event would be the first implication of a relationship between the two, spawning the rumors that are mentioned in Daisy's trophy biography in Super Smash Bros. Melee: "After her appearance in Mario Golf, some gossips started portraying her as Luigi's answer to Mario's Peach." In Mario Tennis for the N64, Daisy is Luigi's doubles partner when he is selected for the doubles tournament. In the Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour introduction, Daisy calls upon Luigi in the same way Peach calls upon Mario. When Luigi and Daisy are paired up in past recent Mario Party games, their team name is "Steady Sweeties". In Mario Superstar Baseball, Luigi and Daisy are "buddy players," and they share good chemistry, whereas Daisy does not share any chemistry with Mario. In Mario Power Tennis when Daisy wins a tournament she appears suddenly on roller-skates, and bumps into Luigi right after saying to him, "Hey Sweetie". Nintendo has not explicitly stated anything regarding their official status. As a result, the Luigi-Daisy relationship is still a mystery and is widely speculated and debated by fans.

Development
When Daisy first appeared in the Marioverse, she had long orange hair, a flower motif to her yellow and white dress, light skin, and a pink crown. This outfit also included accessories such as a blue flower brooch, flower earrings, and even flower jewels on her crown. The daisy-motif has only changed once since - a green color was added instead of the original blue. In later games, such as Mario Party 3 and Mario Tennis, her appearance was refined. Giving her a rounder face, a darker skin tone, and a more brown color to her hair. Those two games were actually the only appearances Daisy had tanned skin in. With her introduction to Mario Party 4, Daisy's character design was altered yet again. She was given shorter hair, a new yellow and orange dress design, a golden crown, and her original skin tone. Nowadays, Daisy appears to have an average skin tone as opposed to the pale tone given to her in Mario Party 4, and Daisy's cheeks have been toned down quite a bit since her Mario Party 4 change.

In Daisy's appearances for NES Open Tournament Golf and Mario Tennis she appeared in her first sports attire. Unlike in Mario Party 3, this outfit was short, included tennis shoes, no gloves, and no crown. This sports outfit appeared as an unlockable costume in Mario Hoops 3 on 3. Unlike the original, it had more of her modern motif. Aside from her original sports outfit and the refined version, Daisy's common sports attire is like her current dress except it has no sleeves, no gloves, tennis shoes, and spots shorts. If Daisy isn't wearing her princess dress, she'll be seen in this outfit.

Comics
Daisy also appeared in the Game Boy comic books, where, as in Super Mario Land, she was the unwilling prisoner of Tatanga, hoping that Mario would eventually rescue her. In these comics, Daisy, Mario, and Tatanga, were released from the world of video games to go on adventures in the "Real World".

Film
In the Super Mario Bros. film, Daisy is a main character and the princess of Dinohatten. The first scene of the movie depicts Daisy’s mother, who was fleeing from King Koopa, putting a green egg with a small crystal tied to it on the steps of a cathedral. Her mother is later killed in a rock slide, and the green egg hatches into Daisy as a baby.



The nuns had either taken a vow of silence, or decided to keep it secret, because Daisy grows up thinking she is a normal human being. However, she always has an odd love of fossils and dinosaurs, so much that she becomes a paleontologist. One of her digging sites is being hounded by Anthony Scapelli, a wealthy entrepreneur, because the dig is making him lose business. One day, she meets Mario and Luigi, and she and Luigi really hit it off.

Later in the film, King Koopa sends out his cousins Spike and Iggy to capture Daisy. Luckily, the cousins continually kidnap the wrong girls, including Mario's girlfriend Daniella. Finally, when Mario and Luigi are helping her repair damage (done by Scapelli) to the fossil site, Iggy and Spike knock Mario and Luigi out and kidnap Daisy. They take her to Dinohattan and Mario and Luigi quickly follow. Luckily, Luigi is able to recover Daisy’s crystal necklace before she is abducted in a car, which takes the young woman straight to King Koopa’s Tower. When Daisy arrives, King Koopa reveals to her that she is the princess of the dinosaur world. King Koopa states that the meteor that supposedly wiped out the dinosaurs actually sent the reptiles to an alternate dimension, where they eventually evolved into humanoids (just as had happened on Earth, albeit Earthlings evolved from primates). Her mother and father, King Bowser, were the king of this dimension, until King Koopa turned her father into a fungus. Her mother fled to the dinosaur's original dimension, using a crystal recovered from the meteor that caused the dimensional rift, and, as previously mentioned, entrusted her daughter’s life to a group of nuns.

After revealing this to Daisy, King Koopa states that he has long harbored an ambition to take over the real world (his former home), but cannot send his entire army there without the crystal. As such, he sent Iggy and Spike to find her and with her, the meteorite piece. However, Daisy does not have the crystal, Luigi does. When this is revealed to King Koopa, he locks Daisy up in his tower.

While imprisoned, Daisy forms a friendship with King Koopa's pet, Yoshi. King Koopa’s mistress, Lena, grows to hate Daisy, suspecting that King Koopa has a crush on her. Eventually, this hatred drives her insane, and Lena attempted to kill Daisy. Yoshi saves the princess at the last minute, and they both escape from the tower together. She is then kidnapped by a Goomba (who, in fact, used to an anti-King Koopa street musician named Toad). Ironically, it is Iggy and Spike, who had recently had there brains enlarged, that save Daisy from her new prison. She then meets up again with Mario and Luigi. Mario goes to save the "princesses" that Spike and Iggy kidnapped while searching for Daisy, while Luigi and Daisy go to stop the invasion.

Finally, Daisy seals the breach between the dimensions and decides to stay in Dinohattan an take her rightful place as ruler. The end of the movie shows Daisy, geared for war, appears at Mario's apartment, telling them that they have to come back to Dinohattan, because a new threat had emerged. This was an attempt at setting up a sequel, which never came.

Portrayals
Daisy's first voice actor was Kate Fleming, who played her voice in Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64. Her next voice actor was Jen Taylor, who provided her voice in Mario Party 3, Mario Party 4, and finally in Mario Party 5. Jen Taylor also provided Peach's voice in these games. In every other game, Daisy has been (and is currently) voiced by Deanna Mustard. In the Super Mario Bros. movie, Daisy was played by the actor Samantha Mathis.

Trivia

 * The Super Mario Land instruction manual names Daisy "Daisy Princess", even though her official name is "Princess Daisy."  This may be the result of poor translation, as Daisy's Japanese name, Deiji-Hime, literally means "Daisy-Princess."
 * The screen intro of NES Open Tournament Golf depicts Daisy's dress as blue and Peach's dress as green, instead of their yellow and pink dresses respectively.
 * According to a scene in Mario Party 3 's story mode, Daisy isn't the only ruler of Sarasaland. Once the player defeats her and wins the beauty stamp, she will run off while shouting, "Augh! I don't believe this! I've never lost--not even to my dad!"
 * In Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, one of Princess Peach's color change makes her look like Daisy.
 * Daisy's Super Smash Bros. Melee trophy states that she appeared in Mario Golf for Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color rather than Mario Tennis for Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color. Although Daisy appeared in NES Open Tournament Golf in 1991, the only Mario Golf game she has appeared in is Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, and that game was released nineteen months after Super Smash Bros. Melee.
 * Daisy's trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee has a third eye pattern on the back of her head that players can view by zooming in on the back of her head until the hair is no longer visible. This was fixed in PAL and US version 1.2 of the game.
 * In beta screenshots of Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Daisy appeared to have a bit of a pudgy stomach. This extra layering was added to hide errors with her model's design. In the final release of the game, Camelot, the creators of the game, fixed the design.
 * In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour and Mario Power Tennis, Daisy's floral collar seems to be incomplete as the collar has frill detailing, but isn't trimmed properly. Camelot never fixed this in newer versions of either game.
 * Nintendo's Mario Power Tennis Website says that Daisy is Peach's sister in arms, obviously meaning more of a brotherly love type of relationship than an actual blood relationship.
 * In Mario Superstar Baseball, Daisy's MVP section misspelled Sarasaland as "Sarasara Land"; this is likely a translation mistake.
 * Daisy didn't appear in Mario Golf: Advance Tour, but Azalea, a character almost identical to Daisy, did.
 * Daisy's emblem/representation has been an orange daisy with a teal center, instead of the common white shazta daisy with a yellow center.
 * Toadette and Daisy's team name in Mario Party 6 is "Shopping Buddies," which obviously implies that the two are good friends.
 * The novelization of the Super Mario Bros. live-action movie, which is set outside the game universe, states that Daisy's father is named, King Bowser; this is likely a mistake as King Bowser isn't even depicted as her father in the movie.

Trophy Information
''The princess of Sarasaland. Daisy met Mario when he helped defeat the evil alien Tanaga in Super Mario Land. Princess Daisy is a bit of a tomboy when compared with her counterpart, Princess Peach. After her appearance in Mario Golf, some gossips started portraying her as Luigi's answer to Mario's Peach.
