Daisy Cruiser



The Daisy Cruiser is a large cruise ship belonging to Princess Daisy that first appeared in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! as a racecourse in the Flower Cup. The cruiser has since then appeared in many spinoff titles, most noticeably as Daisy's personal stadium in Mario Super Sluggers. As the cruiser can be seen sailing past and to various areas in the Mario series, it is commonly accepted that this is how Daisy travels from place-to-place.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
The cruiser has various floors, and a giant logo of Daisy's head on the side. The cruiser also has a dining room with moving tables that act as obstacles for the player, a large pool that has a picture of Daisy at the bottom, and a set of hallways. Also included is a basement leading to a giant fan, and various flower motifs throughout the cruisers design. Piantas can be seen in the cruiser as well, waving at the players; Piantas also appear on the Peach Beach and Daisy Circuit levels, both of which have the Daisy Cruiser in the background.

Track Layout
Players start out at the top deck, where they proceed to a staircase, which turns next to the circular pool; a thin shortcut to the right (left in Mirror Mode) of the pool is available. From the pool players drive down another set of stairs that lead into the dining-room the width of the cruiser. Moving tables slide in front of the player, which must be avoided. Continuing through double-doors, players drive through a set of hallways. Available before exiting the hallway is a drop which takes players into the bottom of the cruiser. If players take the drop, they continue through a room with an exit boost that shoots players out of a giant fan into the final turn. If players continue on out the hallway, they enter the final turn leading to a final set of stairs that take them to the finish-line. In Single Player Mode, there are mini fans at the bottom of the stairs.

Mario Super Sluggers
The Daisy Cruiser returns once again in the game Mario Super Sluggers as Daisy's personal baseball stadium. It features tables around the outfield at day-time, similar to how the dining room of the past Daisy Cruiser included tables. Unlike the previous tables, these break when the ball is hit or thrown at them. At night, Cheep Cheeps bounce around the outfield in place of the tables. In the middle of night-play a Gooper Blooper appears and tilts the stadium to either the right or left side, causing the whole area to slant in either direction. Also, the walls are super-low.

Like before the Daisy Cruiser is completely based around Daisy's personal style, but it is almost completely reshaped and much larger; as such it includes many new floors. The docking area for the cruiser in the Baseball Kingdom includes a lighthouse, which is very similar to the lighthouse seen at the Daisy Circuit from Mario Kart Wii. The dock also includes a canopy walkway at the entrance. Notable are two statues near the play-field of the Cruiser. These statues are of Daisy. In Challenge Mode, the Daisy Cruiser is where everyone comes at the end of the day to celebrate their victories. Characters are seen eating treats like ice cream and cake in the ship's dining room before the start of the fireworks show.
