Baby Daisy

Baby Daisy is a human character in the Super Mario series, created to be the toddler counterpart of Princess Daisy. Her first appearance was in Mario Kart Wii as playable character, whose debut is similar to that of Toadette in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. Most recently Baby Daisy made another appearance in Mario Super Sluggers, along with other baby characters such as Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach and Baby Donkey Kong.

Although she has appeared in only two installments for the Mario series overall, Baby Daisy has established connections to other baby characters like Baby Peach and even Baby Luigi.

Mario Kart Wii
Baby Daisy makes her first game appearance in the Mario series as a small-sized unlockable character in Mario Kart Wii. Like Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, and Baby Peach, Baby Daisy is the toddler counterpart of her adult persona, Princess Daisy. Baby Daisy is added to the game's roster by obtaining at least one Star Rank for all 50cc Wii Grand Prix Cups, or playing 1,950 races. Baby Daisy shares the same Small-sized karts as the others, but in her own personal style. In the Daisy Circuit level, there is a large golden statue of Baby Daisy in mid-air with Baby Luigi holding her. Baby Daisy is the staff ghost character for Moo Moo Meadows. She is given a good speed bonus, which make vehicles like the Bullet Bike move faster than normal.

Mario Super Sluggers
Baby Daisy returns to the scene in Mario Super Sluggers as an unlockable participant. When she is on the batting side for the team she participates in, her bat is a large baby rattle, like Baby Peach's. However, Baby Daisy's rattle is a deep yellow rather than pink, as each of the two babies rattles correspond to the color of their pacifiers and outfits. Since Baby Daisy is considered to be a Team Player in the Mario Super Sluggers game, she has no specific special move, but can use star powers to improve the ability of her batting or pitching. Baby Daisy has good chemistry with Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Donkey Kong, and Yoshi. Her special move is the same as Daisy's, the Super Dive, and she also shares the same batting and pitching; left and right.

In order for Baby Daisy to be added to the overall roster in Mario Super Sluggers, the player has to go through the Challenge Mode process and solve the events in relation to her. In order to do this, the player has to use Yoshi to access a remote area of the Peach Ice Garden, where she can be found bawling. This triggers a conversation between the player, Baby Daisy, and Lakitu, who translates for the player. At this point, Baby Daisy pleads her case stating that Bowser Jr. scared her off while playing hide and seek with Baby Peach. Consequently, this resulted in Baby Daisy losing her rattle in the process as well; Lakitu informs the player that the only way for Baby Daisy to calm down is to find that rattle in question.

After the player does the necessary procedures to find Baby Daisy's rattle, they can return to realize that she was trying to explain that like Baby Peach, she bats with that same rattle and couldn't participate in baseball games without it. If the player returns without the rattle, a separate conversation can be seen explaining that Lakitu cannot further translate her speaking.

Upon completion of the entire criteria in relation to Baby Daisy's scenario, Baby Daisy is now able to join Peach's team, the Peach Monarchs. She'll also be available for the other modes in Mario Super Sluggers at that point as well.

Current Depiction
With an outfit based off of Daisy's current design, Baby Daisy appears in a yellow dress shirt with light yellow baby bottoms, and white tights. At the bottom of her shirt are two hoop designs; both orange and overlapping one-another. Her collar is based off of Daisy's original floral frills, and on her feet are a pair of red-orange baby dress-shoes. To top the outfit off are Daisy's flower brooch and jeweled crown. Her crown is large in comparison to adult Daisy's, and it tilts to the side of her head, but the babies are shaped in a cartoon-like manner with crowns larger than usual to correspond with the fact they are infant forms of their adult selves. Also mentionable are her rosy cheeks, and the round baby pacifier. While Baby Peach's pacifier and clothing correspond to her main color scheme (pink combination), Baby Daisy's pacifier is golden unlike her yellow scheme. The clothing for Baby Daisy does have the same color scheme as the adult Daisy's current main dress, however.

Her hair is very similar to adult Daisy's in both style and color. Baby Daisy's hair style consists of two parted bangs, which have one flipped end on each side of the fringe compared to adult Daisy's two. She has neck length hair that frills up at the end in a much shorter fashion than Daisy's. Aside from these minor differences, the styles are almost identical.

Personality
Akin to her adult self, Baby Daisy is presented to be full of joy and spirit; only to a higher degree. Being an energetic and bubbly character, Baby Daisy is usually smiling and in a dancing movement. While she is fully capable of speech, Baby Daisy doesn't tend to say a lot; a trait shared by the other babies. In Mario Super Sluggers, all of the babies (including Baby Daisy) can be understood by Lakitu, but are otherwise seen as speaking incoherently in a baby talk of some kind. When she gets upset, she tends to do nothing but whine, and due to this she is harder to understand than usual. Eager to participate in a competition, Baby Daisy is displayed to be a joyous competitor who likes the excitement of a challenge. Her future self is considered to be a tomboyish individual, and Baby Daisy sports a spunky attitude as well.

Baby Luigi
A large golden statue of Baby Luigi and Baby Daisy dancing with one-another, similar to the one of their adult counterparts, appears in the Daisy Circuit level of Mario Kart Wii. It is also said in the Mario Kart Wii official guide that Baby Daisy used to ride with Baby Luigi, but he was frightened by her. They also share good chemistry in Mario Super Sluggers.

Baby Peach
Baby Peach is briefly mentioned in Baby Daisy's biography from Mario Kart Wii, similar to how the adult Peach is frequently mentioned in official bios of the adult Daisy. The two also appear with one-another in the final congratulations screen in Mario Kart Wii, and are paired together on the Mario Super Sluggers official Japanese site. In Challenge Mode of Mario Super Sluggers, the two were playing hide-and-seek with one another before Bowser Jr. attacked the Peach Ice Garden. The two also share good chemistry in Mario Super Sluggers, meaning they're buddy players.

Other
Baby Daisy has been shown to have good chemistry with every other playable baby in Mario Super Sluggers. Also, despite never being paired up with a Yoshi in Yoshi's Island DS, the two share good chemistry.
