Daniella

Daniella is Mario's girlfriend, portrayed by Dana Kaminski, in the 1993 live-action Super Mario Bros. film. In the film's beginning, she lived in Brooklyn, and went on a double date between her and Mario, and Luigi and Daisy to an Italian restaurant. She is kidnapped and taken to Koopa's Tower in Dinohattan by Iggy and Spike, since they were tasked with locating Daisy and cannot differentiate between her and other women in Brooklyn. For the remainder of the film, she is held hostage at the Goomba Barracks in Koopa's Tower, bonding with other kidnapped women in the same situation. In the film's climax, Mario and Luigi help her and the various other kidnapped women escape, by sliding down a frozen pipe on a stolen mattress they took from a Goomba. Back on Earth, she begins alerting people of the invasion from Dinohattan that is yet to arrive, and then points out that the has turned into Koopa's Tower. After President Koopa is defeated, and Mario and Luigi return to New York, she moves in with the brothers and is seen making them dinner. She, like almost every other human in the movie, has a thick Brooklyn accent.
