Princess Daisy

"Everybody says that I'm the fairest of them all!"

- Princess Daisy

Princess Daisy is the redheaded princess of Sarasaland. She is known for her tomboyish attitude, and her status Peach's best friend. She first appeared in the game Super Mario Land. Like Wario, Daisy was created by Gunpei Yokoi, Shigeru Miyamoto's mentor. Although Daisy is the ruler of Sarasaland, her current place of residence is in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Daisy is known to be a tomboy, a fact stated even since her debut appearance. Unlike many other females in the Mario series, Daisy is one of the few who doesn't represent herself with pink. To go along with her tomboyish nature, she is represented by more gender-neutral colors like yellow, orange and green. Daisy has an affinity for flowers as displayed in her appearances; her attire, special abilities, personal emblems and general representations are often flowers.

Years after her initial appearance, Daisy started appearing in more and more Mario games. This was due to the lack of human characters in the series. She now appears in the majority of Mario games; most regularly as a playable character. Daisy shares a friendly rivalry with Princess Peach, and is also good friends with Mario and Luigi. Daisy has appeared in over thirty games to date for the Mario series, and continues to do so regularly.

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

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
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.

Nintendo Comics System
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".

''Super Mario-Kun
Daisy appears as a prominent character in the Super Mario-Kun manga, available only in Japan. First appearing in the Sarasaland chapters, Daisy's original role is equal to that as it was in the American comics. She is the captive princess of Tatanga, who plans to have her hand in marriage. Afterward, Daisy's role switches to that of a heroine, alongside close friends Mario, Luigi, and Peach; most commonly as a rivalry for Peach. Although Daisy has not received her own series of manga such as Wario and Yoshi have, she is used as a more consistently reoccurring main character.

NES Open Tournament Golf
For a period of time, Daisy was considered an obscure character in the Mario franchise. After being rescued from Tatanga, Daisy snagged a cameo as Luigi's caddy in NES Open Tournament Golf. Like Peach did for Mario, Daisy would send remarks to Luigi while golfing. While there were other female non-playable characters in the game, it is unknown whether or not they were intended to be either Daisy or Peach.

Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour
Daisy made her golfing debut in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour for the Gamecube. Statistics wise, Daisy was one of the strongest characters in the game; surpassing power character Wario, Daisy had almost as much strength behind her swing as Donkey Kong. If the player were to get a "Nice Shot!", Daisy's ball would soar through the air in a burst of flower petals. This meant that, Toadstool Tour, was actually the first game in which Daisy used any sort of flower ability. In Doubles Mode, Daisy and Peach are automatic partners; this combination would set a trend for later spinoff installments after this one.

This is also the first game which Daisy wears her current "main sports outfit" for the majority of Gamecube, Wii, and DS Mario series' sports installments. More details can be found here.

Mario Tennis
Daisy made her reappearance about one decade after the release of NES Open Tournament Golf, in the game Mario Tennis, the first of many appearances. Statistics wise, Daisy competed as a Technical player, and was one of the few female competitors. Stated to be a tom-boy, Daisy sported a look very similar to that of her appearance in NES Open Tournament Golf (the exceptions being her missing crown, and short-lived tan).

In the Game Boy Color version of Mario Tennis, Daisy was not a playable character; but she is seen as a supporting character during certain events of the game.

Mario Power Tennis
Mario Power Tennis, re-introduced Daisy's Technical style of play. Unlike the first Mario Tennis, Daisy no longer had her clumsy personality; it was replaced with her refined energetic style taken from Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour. Daisy's Offensive Power Shot, known as Wonder Flower, would disorient opponents and knock them back if returned. Still, her Defensive Power Shot, the Flowerbed Return, allowed Daisy to fly over a growing flower bed to return any reachable shots. This is the second installment in the Mario series' spin-off category sports-wise where she is shown to use her special flower abilities.

Daisy also appears in the Wii release New Play Control: Mario Power Tennis version of the game. All original qualities stay intact.

Mario Party 3
Mario Party 3 marked Daisy's first entry as a participant in the Mario Party series after her return in Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64); her personality from that game endured, but her tomboyish side was more emphasized and she was notably boastful. Proving she was no longer a "damsel-in-distress", Daisy punched Bowser sending him soaring into the sky; simply because he was in her way. Her partner in battle mode was a Snifit, whom had a large attack strength and defense. Daisy, like Waluigi, was not playable in the story mode of the game; however, she appeared after the player completed the first five regular Duel Boards. When this occurred, Daisy buttered-up the Millennium Star into giving her the Beauty Star Stamp. The Millennium Star began to award her the Star Stamp, but the player contested the decision. The Millennium Star decided that the player and Daisy should duel on the Backtrack Board for the stamp. Once defeated, Daisy runs off while shouting, "Augh! I don't believe this! I've never lost--not even to my dad!"; this is the only hint to another ruler of Sarasaland.

Mario Party 4
In the fourth installment of the Mario Party series, Toad, Koopa Troopa, Goomba, Boo and Shy Guy all find the odd, mystical Party Cube. They then invite the whole Mario crew to another party that's hosted inside it. Daisy agrees along with the rest of the crew, but as usual, Bowser enters to ruin things with his own board, hosted by Koopa Kid.

Throughout Story Mode, Daisy receives her items as rewards for completing each board, and defeating the board's host in a mini-game. Upon completion of Bowser's Gnarly Party board, and the Final Battle Cube, Bowser rewards Daisy with Bowser's Teapot, the final item for Daisy's Room.

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

Mario Party 7
Invited by Toadsworth, Daisy and the others join-up to go on a luxury cruise around the world in Mario Party 7. However, Toadsworth did not invite Bowser. This makes Bowser furious, so he plans revenge. When the cruise ship arrives at its first destination, Daisy and the others realize that Bowser has turned their vacation paradise into a stress-filled madhouse. The goal is to gather stars, but each board requires one to do that in a different way.

In Solo Mode, once Daisy defeats Bowser in the Enchanted Inferno, she leaves on Peach's Cruiser. Daisy is last shown waving good-bye to Bowser and her vacation. When Team Mode is selected, Daisy's automatic partner is Peach, and their team orb is the Flower Orb.

Mario Party DS
In Mario Party DS, Daisy was informed by Mario, along with the rest of the characters, that she had received an invitation to go to Bowser's Castle. They all tentatively accepted the invite, but were trapped and shrunken down to size where they then started a friendly rivalry to see who would be the next Super Star to challenge Bowser himself.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Daisy was introduced to the Mario Kart series of spinoff installments, starting with Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. In that game, Daisy was Princess Peach's default partner, and they shared with one another the best defensive special Items in the game, the Heart. Like Peach, Daisy was placed in the middle-weight category. Additionally, Daisy had a personal kart dedicated to her called the Bloom Coach; the kart being an unlockable. Along with that, she had her own race course called the Daisy Cruiser (accessed in the Flower Cup's third level in Grand Prix mode). Additionally, the Daisy Cruiser can be seen drifting in the ocean on the Peach Beach and Yoshi Circuit courses.

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

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

Daisy's new course in the Star Cup called Daisy Circuit, is her own seaside resort. Daisy Circuit is adorned with various flowery motifs, luxury cruise ships, a hotel resort, and golden statues that top large fountains. Daisy, along with Mario, Luigi, and Peach, appear in the Block Plaza battle course as large statues on each of the surrounding block platforms which move over time. Daisy's flower emblem appears throughout the Dry Dry Ruins course, and as seen in the Daisy Circuit she has her own brand of candy. Daisy is the staff ghost character for the Coconut Mall and Daisy Circuit levels.

Daisy is commonly used to get good Time Trial records due to her good speed bonus. That makes vehicles like the Mach Bike move slightly faster than normal.

It should be noted that Daisy's baby counterpart makes her first appearance in the Mario series overall starting with this installment (as an unlockable participant).

Mario Superstar Baseball
Daisy made her first appearance on the baseball field in Mario Superstar Baseball as a Balanced player; however, she leaned more towards the Technique type. Daisy appeared in Challenge Mode as the secondary Team Captain on Peach's team. Daisy shared good chemistry with both Peach and Luigi, while she shared bad chemistry with characters like Waluigi and Petey Piranha. This was also the first game that stated Daisy to be physically stronger than Peach, though she has had a higher level of strength in past games. Daisy's special pitch (the Flower Ball) allowed her to throw a gust of flower petals, hiding the ball from any opponents. When at bat, the Flower Ball flies at a higher distance than normal, and like before is hidden by flower petals. In the game's Challenge Mode, Daisy was only able to use this move once the player had purchased the Pretty Flowers power-up. Daisy's special talents were the Quick Throw and Sliding Catch, and her strong points were pitching and batting.

Mario Super Sluggers
Daisy appears again as one of the Team Captains for Mario Super Sluggers. Like the previous installment, Mario Superstar Baseball, Daisy shares chemistry with Peach and Luigi, but now she also shares chemistry with Birdo. The Daisy Cruiser returns again also, but this time as a baseball stadium. Daisy's special moves deal with her renowned flower abilities in this installment as well. Although Daisy is available from the start overall, she has to be added to the roster in Challenge Mode. In order to do this, the player must go through a set of tasks in order for her to become available. Once the player enters the Peach Ice Garden, they talk to a Red Toad who informs them that Daisy has been turned into a statue by Bowser Jr., who has already made his way through the rest of the garden area. After completing other tasks, the player returns to see the Toad defending Daisy from a Boomerang Bro., who is trying to remove her for evil purposes. Once defeated, the Boomerang Bro. leaves, and the player convinces the Toad to move Daisy from the first panel to the panel where Toadsworth is standing. This fixes the fountain, and lets the player access the ball-field of the garden. The player then rescues Peach, and Daisy is turned back to her normal state. Afterward, the player must obtain a Toad statue found in a bush to put it in the place of Daisy's current position. This once again lets someone leave the panel, but leaves the fountain working properly. Daisy then is able to join the overall roster to assist in saving the rest of the Baseball Kingdom from Bowser Jr.'s invasion attempts.

In Exhibition Mode, Daisy is the Team Captain for the Daisy Flowers. The icon for this team includes Daisy's crown, along with a floral wreath used as the border around it.

Mario Hoops 3-on-3
Daisy made her second Nintendo DS appearance in Mario Hoops 3-on-3. As she had been depicted before, Daisy was a Technical player. Daisy's Special Shot was the Flower Shot, which let Daisy hover in mid-air to kick the ball into the hoop; the flower shot is activated by tapping a vertically flipped triangle. Unlockable was a refined version of Daisy's original sports attire. Like previous sports titles, Daisy once again had her own stage, this time Daisy Garden; a garden where two Petey Piranha species characters replace normal basketball hoops. This made it difficult to dunk, but easy to shoot.

Mario Smash Football
Once again Daisy joined up with the Mario crew, this time to play football. Daisy was introduced to the Mario Football (series) series in the first installment, Mario Smash Football. In this game, Daisy was an Offensive Captain, who wore the number "09" jersey and possessed the ability to perform the Super Strike called Torpedo Strike. The Torpedo Strike can be classified as flower power due to the original name, Flower Strike, and the flowers that emit from its finish; flowers can be seen flying out when Daisy strikes the ball. Rather than appear in her formal sports attire, Daisy and the rest of the crew wear soccer jerseys; this is in comparison to Daisy usually wearing her dress or regular sports attire.

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

Itadaki Street DS
Daisy also appeared in the Dragon Quest crossover game, Itadaki Street DS, which was a Japan only release. Daisy was a playable character, and her non-playable role had something to do with the Mario Stadium from Mario Superstar Baseball.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for the Wii and DS, Daisy appeared as, for the first time, a Speed character. Being well balanced for many event types, Daisy was a good choice for a variety of play. Although the game doesn't offer a selection of events most complementary to special techniques, there are events that use them. In her fencing special, Daisy's flower power propelled her forward, allowing her to jab rapidly. In her table tennis special, Daisy spun around with flower petals surrounding her paddle, and knocked the ball back covered in petals with increased speed.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games
Daisy returns to the Mario & Sonic installments in the follow-up, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, also for the Wii and DS. She returns as a Speed type and has the Flower Trampoline technique on both versions as well as a Flower Dash technique on the DS version. Following a trend from previous installments, Daisy and other female characters sport a new outfit specifically for the winter games.

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

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

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

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

''Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Although Daisy did not make a playable appearance in the game Super Smash Bros. Brawl, she did appear as a number of stickers, and her own trophy. Daisy's trophy is modeled after her Mario Strikers Charged Football appearance, as it is said to "compliment her spunky scoring strikes". Her stickers use artworks from Mario Party 7 and Mario Smash Football. The Mario Party 7 sticker, is large in size and gives +27 attack to leg attacks. It is only usable by Peach and Zelda. The Mario Smash Football sticker's size is medium, and it's area of effect is once again leg strikes giving an attack of +5, and being available for use by all characters.

It should be noted that like other characters, Peach once again had a recolor that mimics the pallet design of Daisy's model. When selecting the random button for the player's name and the stage's name, Daisy's name pops up by chance as DAISY; other character names appear as well.

Characteristics
Daisy is a human with blue eyes and orange hair. She is portrayed to be athletically adept. Daisy has shown to be stronger than others at times.

Daisy has an average height in terms of other characters. While she is taller than characters like Mario and Luigi, she is shorter than characters such as Peach and Waluigi. Daisy has a similar body type to Peach's, but her waist is less elongated, and her frame is unique in comparison. Daisy's skin is fair in complexion. She has a pert, round, button nose with a flat stem. Daisy usually sports a winning smile, and she has light, rosy lips; Daisy doesn't wear thick lipstick such as Peach or Pauline's but she does have a defined lip tone. Her eyebrows are a dark shade of her orange hair, and they're thin as well as lengthy. She has very round, wide-set, eyes. They are larger than average, evoking an endearingly surprised expression. Daisy's eyes have two long, thick, lashes, and consist of various blue tones. Daisy's face is describable as round, short and square. Her round cheeks have been present since early appearances.

She has a very thick, bouncy, flip hairstyle; side-swept, fringed bangs with a side part and flowing layers are included. Her hair consists of eight, thick, flipped ends, which reach past shoulder-length. Daisy's bangs are soft as well as eye-skimming, and they have two small separated parts in the center of her forehead. At each edge of the wings, Daisy's hair has ends that flip and part back; one of the two flips on each side may appear hidden if viewed at certain angles. Daisy's hairstyle also has short, styled, ear-tails.

Daisy's hair is best described as burnt orange. The color of Daisy's hair might not be as clear cut as others, but depending on lighting it appears anywhere from a dark to bright orange shade. It has been stated as orange hair ; thus, officially making her a redhead.

Unlike Peach, Daisy does not need to tie her hair up when participating in special activities, regardless of it's length.

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

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

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

Later on in Mario Strikers Charged Football, Daisy wears orange midriff-baring battle armor along with orange shorts and orange and turquoise cleats; this is due to the increased intensity of the game. Aside from the increased amount of protective equipment, the outfit includes numerous flower patterns, and is available in two colors; this is due to the necessary change of colors when certain teams with similar team colors face off. Daisy's soccer number can be found on the back of her armor. Daisy appears in this outfit for her Trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl to show off her spunky nature.

Motorbike Gear
As motorbikes were a newly added feature to Mario Kart Wii, Daisy wears a biker outfit if riding on any one of them. While the Mario Kart series is one of the few sports installments where Daisy wears her princess dress in, this time around she, Peach, and Rosalina were given new jumpsuits to fit the changes implemented. Daisy's biker outfit has a white and yellow color combination, and as usual, includes her flower jewelry as seen in her current main outfit. Daisy's biker outfit also includes a refined version of her floral gloves, yellow biker boots, and a yellow scarf that rests to the side of her chest (the scarf is wrapped above her floral collar making it hard to see even though it is still present). A yellow heart with an orange outline is found on her back; the heart is hidden by her hair unless it is flowing up.

Winter Wear
As the name implies, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games involves many snow based events. As a result, Daisy wears a winter outfit that is exclusive to all of the game's events. The contents include white skate boots with yellow lacing, white winter gloves, and the usual flower jewelry including crown. Additionally, the outfit includes long orange sleeves with a white line accenting each arm. It also lengthens out into a mini-dress with a single white hoop at the bottom. As it is a winter outfit, under the mini-dress is a pair of tight orange winter pants accented in the same way as her sleeves.

Other female participants in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games wear winter clothing for this installment as well. Princess Peach wears an outfit in the same fashion as Daisy. The overall design of Peach's outfit is similar to Daisy's; however, differences include color scheme and the obligatory elements to match her unique persona.

Personality and Traits
When it comes down to it, Daisy can be defined best as a tomboy. It has been said that Daisy is always full of energy, and it's evident due to her cheerful nature. Her team name when partnered with Boo in Mario Party 8 happens to be "High Spirited Duo"; obviously basing it off the fact Boo is a spirit and that Daisy is full of spirit. Words and phrases used to describe Daisy include: Tomboy, cheerful, full of energy, bright, lively, unique, upbeat, go-getter, witty, a breath of fresh air.

In each of the game's she appears in she is widely acknowledged as a tomboy or "less feminine" than her royal pal, Princess Peach. As such, Daisy is not "dainty" or "fragile" compared to what one might think from her appearance. She also has a huge competitive drive, though it's apparent she knows it's all in good fun. Daisy can tend to speak in a more common contemporary vernacular than other characters; the prime example of this being her ways of speaking in a slang tone of voice.

In Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64, she was depicted as being a bit clumsy. This was shown in her tournament victory cut-scene where she starts thanking everyone, and suddenly trips off the stage with her trophy. Additionally, in Mario Party 3, Daisy revealed her seductive side by showing off her good looks, and flirting with the Millennium Star to get a free badge. Simply by doing a twirl, the Millennium Star quickly fell in love with her, and was willing to give the beauty badge to her right away.

Daisy has been said to be cute and something of an idol in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. In Mario Party DS Daisy is described as someone with spunk and sass. Mario Strikers Charged Football shows her tomboy attitude to a new high, as her competitive drive is pushed much further compared to normal. It has even been said by Deanna Mustard, her voice-over, that the Mario Football series is where her personality shows best. In Mario Kart Wii, Daisy is said to leave any friendships she has at the starting line; this is obvious as in the middle of racing Daisy tends to mock other players. Daisy can be summarized as an energetic, friendly, and fun loving girl who can, so to speak, "hang with the guys."

Powers and Abilities
Often dealing with flower powers, Daisy's abilities are based on her large relations to flowers. Throughout her many appearances, most of her special abilities have used some sort of flower related effect. While Daisy is thin, she is known to be one of the few lighter Mario characters with a large amount of physical strength. Unlike most characters, Daisy's style of play changes depending on what activity she's participating in. Having been qualified in a larger amount of categories than any other character, Daisy's range of abilities can be summarized as all-around, with a certain change in each game that determines the ultimate style.

Special Abilities
In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Daisy had the longest hit ratio for any human player, being out ranked only by powerhouses Bowser and Donkey Kong. In Mario Party 7, Daisy was able to show off her love for flowers, as her special team orb was the Flower Orb. In Mario Power Tennis, Daisy was a technical player who had two special moves. The first was called Wonder Flower, which is an offensive power shot where Daisy summons huge petals around her racket. The other is called Flowerbed Return, which is a defensive power shot where Daisy literally flies above the ground where a bed of daisies appear under her until she reaches the ball. In Mario Hoops 3 on 3, Daisy is once again a technical player. She used flower powers in her special move, the Flower Shot. The Flower Shot works by Daisy summoning a barrage of petals around herself which seem to lift her into the air where she then kicks the ball into the hoop.

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.

This is also displayed again in Mario Super Sluggers. For Daisy's Flower Swing (when she's up to bat), upon successful execution she swings around with flower petals all-about, and a flower like ring appears at the tip of her bat with a turquoise center at the tip of the bat, making it appear as her usual flower symbol. Daisy then hits the ball causing it to soar through the air, and once the ball's destination is set a patch of daises pops up from the ground surrounded by a small garden-fence, blocking any players from getting in range of catching the ball. For Daisy's Flower Ball (when she's up to pitch on the fielding end), Daisy winks at the camera before jumping straight up through a barrage of flowers, and she then spins before throwing the covered ball.

In Mario Smash Football, Daisy was an offensive captain. Daisy's Super Strike was called the Torpedo Strike. In this Super Strike, Daisy launches the ball at the goal, and images of daisies fly all about. In Mario Strikers Charged Football Daisy showed a new form of powers other than her usual flower abilities. She used the ability of summoning huge orange crystals from the ground. She is also capable of teleporting; the distance depends on how charged the ball is. Depending on how charged the ball is, Daisy can teleport a long distance by doing a spin in smoke. After the spin she re-appears a certain amount of length away in any direction.

In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, Daisy is for the first time, a Speed character. Her usual above-average strength is not at all present and she happens to be a complete athletic powerhouse. Although she is a Speed character, her rounded technique still qualifies her for a balanced range of event handicaps. In certain game types where it is available, Daisy can use some of her flower powers to do various things such as spike the ping-pong ball, do a rapid combo attack in fencing, and more.

Standard Abilities
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 5, 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.

Birdo
Daisy and Birdo have been shown from time to time to interact with each other as friends. In Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64), when choosing Daisy in the doubles tournament mode, her default partner will be Birdo; this is the first time the two were shown to interact as this was the first time each of them had been playable characters in a game. Among the team names they have shared, the team name, "Gallopin' Gal-Pals" from the Mario Party series, is the best hint at their interactions. In Mario Super Sluggers they even have good chemistry with one-another, a trait only characters that play together well and have a buddy relationship share.

Luigi
Daisy's only appearances between Super Mario Land and Mario Tennis was in NES Open Tournament Golf, where she caddied for Luigi just as Peach did for Mario; this would be Luigi's first documented interaction with Daisy. In Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64), when choosing Luigi in the doubles tournament mode, his default partner will be Daisy. Luigi and Daisy have been portrayed as a couple on numerous occasions. In Mario Golf Toadstool Tour, they're seen golfing alongside Peach and Mario. Their team names from the Mario Party series include: "Steady Sweeties", "Tango Tanglers", and "Shy Sidekicks". Perhaps the most telling occurrence was in Mario Power Tennis, wherein Daisy says to Luigi, "Hey, sweety! I'll take that", while receiving her trophy from Luigi. Also, in the Mario Baseball series, Luigi and Daisy are "buddy players", and they share good chemistry. Most recently, in Mario Kart Wii, there is a giant, golden statue on the Daisy Circuit that shows the two holding hands and dancing together, along with another of Baby Luigi and Baby Daisy. Arguably the greatest evidence for any existing relationship between Luigi and Daisy is in the Super Mario Bros. film, released in 1993. Luigi and Daisy were quite clearly depicted as being infatuated with one another in this movie. Nintendo's only official word on this matter came in Super Smash Bros. Melee, where Daisy's trophy biography states, "After her appearance in Mario Golf, some gossips started portraying her as Luigi's answer to Mario's Peach".

It was stated in the official Mario Party 4 guide that Luigi has quite the crush on Daisy, and that it's rumored there's an attraction between them. Luigi and Daisy also appear together commonly in the Miracle Book pages from Mario Party 6. Most often in a situation where something bad happens to Luigi, but Daisy is left unharmed. Examples of this include the page Amp Attack, where Luigi and Daisy are playing Circuit Maximus, and are wondering what the three black spheres are. The player can press A to make them turn around, which reveals that the spheres are Amps which then electrocute Luigi. On another page titled It Came from the Deep, Daisy and Luigi are fishing for treasure in Treasure Trawlers. If the player presses A, Daisy gets a treasure chest while Luigi catches the tentacle of a Blooper.

Mario
Daisy was rescued by Mario from the clutches of Tatanga in Super Mario Land, and she rewarded him with a kiss upon her rescue. Mario has never explicitly expressed an interest in her, nor has Daisy to him. In Mario Party 5, Mario and Daisy are given the team name "Nice Couple" when paired together, while they do not share player chemistry at all in Mario Superstar Baseball and in Mario Super Sluggers. Regardless, Daisy and Mario have been officially stated to be good friends on numerous occasions.

Peach


Daisy and Peach have been portrayed to be best friends since Daisy's big comeback appearance in Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64. It has been stated that Peach missed female companionship until Daisy's arrival in the Mushroom Kingdom. Soon after in Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color), Daisy is commonly alongside Peach in future spinoff installments for the Mario series; in most cases, Daisy and Peach will commonly be a team if something involves using a partner approach to take care of a certain task. Daisy and Peach share a team orb, the flower orb, in Mario Party 7, share a team item, the Heart, in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and are automatic partners in a vast amount of other games as well.

While Daisy and Peach are considered to be best friends, they are often rivaled against each other in games like Mario Smash Football (where the two face-off in the game's opening) and Mario Strikers Charged Football (where the two go up against each other in Challenge Mode). Like Luigi, the two share good chemistry in the Mario Baseball series. Daisy also appears as the second member of Peach's team in Challenge mode for Mario Superstar Baseball as the team's secondary captain. Nintendo's Mario Power Tennis website said that Daisy is Peach's "sister in arms", a term used to describe a close friendship as Daisy and Peach are not literally sisters. In the Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart Wii official guides published by Prima and licensed by Nintendo, Daisy is said to be Peach's cousin. This statement is yet to be used in any games, however.

Additionally, Mario Super Sluggers' Challenge Mode aids more to their interactions. When Peach is informed of Daisy being turned into a statue by Bowser Jr., she calls on Mario and the other teammates to help her revive Daisy. Once all of the tasks that involve Daisy are complete, she is finally able to join Peach's team, the Peach Monarchs, vowing to help take down Bowser's gang who invaded the Baseball Kingdom and turned her into a statue.

Tatanga
Tatanga was the main antagonist of Super Mario Land, where he was hired by Wario to brain-wash all of Sarasaland to distract Mario (so Wario could take over Mario's Castle). Tatanga attempted to wed Daisy in the middle of the take over, and Daisy objected the proposal. In the American and Japanese comics, Daisy's relationship with Tatanga was equal to the relationship between Peach and Bowser, not mutual. Although Tatanga has yet to be seen in any game since, the alien has still been mentioned in later texts involving Daisy.

Waluigi


Daisy and Waluigi started appearing as regulars in the Mario series around the same time, and due to this they are often placed around one-another. It is also not uncommon for them to have similar playing styles; they have the same playing styles in the Mario Football series. Regardless of their similar situations, in games like Mario Superstar Baseball, the two share bad chemistry. In Mario Strikers Charged Football, Daisy goes up against Waluigi in Challenge Mode; showing they actually have a rivalry of some kind.

It has also been suggested there may be romantic relations between the two that also deal with their affiliation's with Luigi. They share team names from Mario Party such as: "Awkward Date", "Double Facers", and "Skinny Stars". It was stated in the official Mario Party 4 guide that Waluigi happens to have a crush on Daisy, which could cause trouble at the party. It was also stated in the same guide that Waluigi suffers the same shortcomings as Wario, aside from his soft spot for Daisy.

Other Characters
Toad and Daisy have interacted positively in the games they appear in together. "Royal Pals", "Bloomy Shroomy", and "Button Mushrooms" are all of the team names they've shared in the Mario Party series. In the Mario Baseball series, Toad and Daisy are seen together often in cutscenes, and Toad is shown to largely care for Daisy's well being in the Challenge Mode of Mario Super Sluggers.

Toadette and Daisy's interactions are shown through their positive team names in Mario Party games. Among them include: Shopping Buddies and Perfumed Shroomy.

Design
When Daisy first appeared in the Mario series, she had long orange hair, a flower motif to her yellow and white dress, a pale skin tone, and a rose colored crown. Daisy had a white belt-like strap at her waist, and the border was white with Hershey's Kisses shapes topped with dots over each point. This outfit also included accessories such as a blue flower brooch, blue flower earrings, a yellow flower jewel on her crown and blue jewels on each side of the crown. The daisy-motif has only changed once since. A more green color was added instead of the original blue and yellow flowers, and the blue jewels were replaced with red.

In Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64, her appearance was refined. Daisy had always had a different facial structure than Peach, but it wasn't until her first playable appearance that she was given her natural round head shape. A tan skin tone was also a new addition to Daisy's design update; although extremely short lasted. While in artwork for the game she is depicted with a tan, in-game she sports an un-tanned skin tone similar to her first appearances. In Mario Party 3 the new motif had remained equally the same, and the tan was actually seen in-game this time around. However, her flower jewels were the current green color they are today in-game; regardless of the fact this detail had not yet been added to her appearance as the artwork still depicted her with blue jewels and the blue jewels on her crown remained as well as the orange flower jewels. It should also be mentioned that while Daisy's hair color was indeed darker than her first two appearances in these games, they were still both highlighted in orange tones as Daisy's hair has always remained some shade of orange. It could also be seen she had red shoes to match her crown; this is possibly another in-game mistake as her artwork depicts her with orange shoes and she has never worn any shoes that were not at least partially orange.

With her introduction to Mario Party 4, Daisy's character design was changed yet again, but for the last time. She was given shorter (yet still long) hair, a new yellow and orange dress design, a golden crown, her original skin tone, as well as many other minor changes. Her hair was also slightly altered, now being a much lighter orange than the dark orange seen in the last two games; it should be mentioned that Daisy's hair went from bright orange to dark orange to a medium orange that ranges from burnt to bright. It is true with Daisy, along with every Mario character, that her appearance is constantly refined to keep up with graphical updates. Although this is so, Daisy's newest design has remained her current appearance.

Sports Attire
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. Oddly, Peach wore her crown in most appearances while Daisy did not; the reason why is unclear.

This sports outfit appeared as an unlockable costume in Mario Hoops 3-on-3; unlike the original, it had more of her modern motif as is expected. Aside from her original sports outfit and the refined version, Daisy's common sports attire is like her current dress except it has no sleeves, no gloves, tennis shoes, and spots shorts. If Daisy isn't wearing her princess dress, she'll usually be seen in this outfit for most Mario series' sports installments for the Gamecube, Wii, and DS. When Daisy first started appearing in installments on the GameCube she sported this attire on her own while Peach wore the refined version of the sports mini-dress. For unknown reasoning Peach picked up on the design Daisy was originally given in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour with her own motifs and colors and has kept the design since.

In specific games such as the Mario Football series, Mario Kart Wii, and Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games Daisy wears special outfits and attire for the required events.

Graphical Mishaps
Whether they be mistakes or flaws-by-design, Daisy has had a number of graphical mishaps when it comes to her in-game character models. The most common mistake being the number of flips at the back of Daisy's hair changing anywhere from four to nine; most often there are eight. The second most reoccurring mistake would be the princess' crowns having the jewel detailing on both the outside and inside of them; this issue occurs with anyone else wearing a crown as well.


 * The title screen of NES Open Tournament Golf depicts Daisy as well as Peach with odd colors such as their dress colors being completely wrong; this may be due to the color limitations of the era.
 * In Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64) Daisy did not actually have her tan regardless of the fact she is depicted with it in all artwork for the game.
 * In Mario Party 3 Daisy's flower jewels were all the green color they are today regardless of the fact this change was not made until her second redesign.
 * Also in Mario Party 3 Daisy wore red shoes the same color as her crown regardless of the fact artwork depicted her with orange shoes.
 * Daisy's trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee has a third eye pattern on the back of her head that players can view by zooming in through the back of her hair until it is no longer visible; this was fixed in PAL and US version 1.2 of the game.
 * Also in Super Smash Bros. Melee, her trophy is depicted with maroon shoes, and Peach's costume recolor is depicted with teal shoes. Daisy's shoes are, and have always been orange, therefore both colors are incorrect.
 * 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.
 * As seen in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Daisy's hair is free flowing while racing, but when she is moved in certain directions at high enough speeds, her hair tends to separate itself from the rest of her head.
 * In Mario Superstar Baseball there is a mis-colored line running through the back of Daisy's hair flip; this is likely due to the skin design not completely fitting Daisy's character model's mesh. These lines can be found on other characters as well.
 * In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for the Wii, while playing as Daisy in the Dream Platform if the player moves Daisy forward at the highest speed, there is an opening behind her head where it is completely clear as if there are no polygons between that area of Daisy's model; a common problem in games with low graphics.

Promotion and Merchandising
Princess Daisy has been featured in many sets of collectibles for the Mario Series. Many mini-figures have been released as well as a small amount of larger figurines. In her initial release for Super Mario Land, a set of mini figures were released for the game and Daisy got one herself depicting her original design. A Mario Party set of 4cm vinyl figures were released in 2005; each of the playable characters in the games were featured. Released in 2008, Daisy was featured in a group of 6 characters for the release of the 4-inch, series 2, vinyl, Super Mario, figures by PopCo Entertainment. For volume 2 of the Furuta Super Mario Bros candy toys, Daisy was featured with her own mini-figure; these series of figures were shipped inside chocolate covered eggs to be open and eaten to receive the toy inside. Aside from these, Daisy was featured in the BanPresto Super Mario Volume 2 Set of 6 PVC Figure Keychains. Daisy has also had a number of figures for the Mario Kart series, including a figure for Mario Kart DS, and multiple figures for Mario Kart Wii , including a pull-back bike figure. She was also featured in the Super Mario Chess set as the second bishop on Mario's team.

Music
Many of the songs from the Super Mario Compact Disco revolve around lyrics dealing with or relating to Daisy. The song Save Me (With Your Charm) actually states in the beginning that it is Daisy singing,"You're listening to Super Mario Compact Disco"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 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.

Portrayals
Daisy is voiced/portrayed by:


 * Kate Fleming in Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64; never continued her role.
 * Jen Taylor in Mario Party 3; until Deanna Mustard would be hired.
 * Deanna Mustard in any Mario series' installments as of 2004 to the present. Her debut installment in terms of portraying Daisy is the Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour game.

Trivia

 * The Super Mario Land instruction manual names Daisy "Daisy Princess", even though her official name is "Princess Daisy."  This may be the result of poor translation, as Daisy's Japanese name, Deiji-Hime, literally means "Daisy-Princess."
 * In Mario Superstar Baseball, Daisy's MVP section misspelled Sarasaland as "Sarasara Land"; this is likely a translation mistake.
 * Daisy's Super Smash Bros. Melee trophy states that she appeared in Mario Golf for Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color rather than Mario Tennis for Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color. Although Daisy appeared in NES Open Tournament Golf in 1991, the only Mario Golf game she has appeared in is Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, and that game was released nineteen months after Super Smash Bros. Melee.
 * Daisy's Super Smash Bros. Brawl trophy states "her iconic look is a yellow and white dress", regardless of the fact Daisy hasn't worn her yellow and white dress for years.
 * Despite not making an appearance, Daisy is indirectly referenced in Super Mario Galaxy. After crossing the finish line in the Loopdeswoop Galaxy, one of the Penguins will tell Mario or Luigi that their performance must impress "the princesses."
 * Daisy debuted on April 21, 1989 in Japan. The April birthstone is the sapphire (which is found on her earrings, brooch, and crown in earlier games and some handhelds), and its birth flower is the daisy.
 * Daisy is the first major Mario character not created by Shigeru Miyamoto, and the only major female character in the Mario series not created by him.
 * Daisy's emblem/representation has been an orange daisy with a teal center, instead of the common white daisy with a yellow center.
