Princess Daisy

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

- Princess Daisy

Princess Daisy (Japanese: デイジー姫, Deijī-hime) is the princess of Sarasaland and first appeared in the game Super Mario Land. She 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 first stated in her debut appearance. Daisy is represented by colors like yellow, orange and green. She has an affinity for flowers; 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 often as a playable character. Daisy is good friends with Princess Peach, and she interacts positively with many other characters. This includes Luigi, who it has been hinted shares romantic feelings with Daisy. Daisy has appeared in forty Mario series games to date, 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, is invaded by the space invader Tatanga. He hypnotizes her subjects in the country, turning them into his army, and he kidnaps their leader, Daisy. Mario attempts to rescue the princess and liberate Sarasaland. Mario has to travel through each of the four kingdoms of Sarasaland, fighting new enemies at the end of each. Every time he defeats a level's Boss, what appears to be Daisy thanks the hero. However, it turns out that these are simply common enemies disguising as Daisy, forcing Mario to explore another kingdom. In the end Mario finds the real Daisy being held captive by Tatanga. After a long battle in his plane, the Sky Pop, Mario is able to defeat Tatanga and rescue Daisy. The game ends with Mario and Daisy flying away in the Sky Pop.

As her subjects are said to hypnotized to attack Mario, enemies such as Pionpi, Tokotoko, and Gao may normally work for Daisy, especially the last three as they appear to be native to their areas.

Nintendo Comics System
Daisy also appears in the Game Boy comic books. There, as in Super Mario Land, she is the unwilling prisoner of Tatanga, hoping that Mario will eventually rescue her. In these comics, Daisy, Mario, and Tatanga are 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 equivalent to her role in the American comics. She is the captive princess of Tatanga, who plans to have her hand in marriage. After the Sarasaland chapters, Daisy's role switches to that of a heroine. She then appears alongside close friends Mario, Luigi, and Peach. Although Daisy has not received her own manga series, as Wario and Yoshi have, she is a more consistently reoccurring main character in the Super Mario-Kun series.

NES Open Tournament Golf
For a period of time, Daisy did not reappear in the Mario franchise. After being rescued from Tatanga, Daisy's first role is a cameo as Luigi's caddy in NES Open Tournament Golf. Like what Peach does for Mario, Daisy sends remarks to Luigi while he is golfing. While there are other female non-playable characters in the game, it is unknown whether or not any of them are intended to be Daisy.

Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour
Daisy makes her golfing debut in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour for the Gamecube. Statistics wise, Daisy is one of the strongest characters in the game. Surpassing power character Wario, Daisy has almost as much strength behind her swing as Donkey Kong. If the player gets a "Nice Shot!", Daisy's ball soars through the air in a burst of flower petals, meaning that Toadstool Tour is the first game in which Daisy used any sort of flower-related ability. In Doubles Mode, Daisy and Peach are automatic partners; this combination sets a trend for later spin-off installments after this one.

Toadstool Tour also marks the first appearance of the outfit that Daisy wears in the majority of modern Mario series sports games. More details can be found here.

Mario Tennis
Daisy makes her first playable appearance about one decade after the release of NES Open Tournament Golf, in the game Mario Tennis. Statistics wise, Daisy competes as a Technical player. She is one of the few female competitors. Described as a tomboy, Daisy sports a look very similar to that of her appearance in NES Open Tournament Golf. However, she lacks her crown, and has a short-lived suntan.

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

Mario Power Tennis
In Mario Power Tennis Daisy once again uses a Technical style of play. She is no longer portrayed as clumsy, as in the first Mario Tennis. Instead, Daisy is refined and energetic, as in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour. Daisy's Offensive Power Shot, known as Wonder Flower, disorients opponents and knock them back if returned. Her Defensive Power Shot, the Flowerbed Return, allows Daisy to fly over a growing flower bed to return any reachable shots. This is the second appearance of Daisy's flower-related abilities.

Mario Tennis Open
For the Mario Tennis Open game, Daisy returns as one of the starting participants with a Technique style of play (along with Princess Peach). It should also be noted that Daisy now wears her modernized Tennis style outfit (featured from previous Wii and DS Mario sports installments developed by Square-Enix) for the very first time in the Mario Tennis category of sports games (developed by Camelot). Like Mario Power Tennis, her personality is once again energetic.

Mario Party 3
Daisy makes an appearance as a playable character in every game in the Mario Party series since the third installment, except for Mario Party Advance. In Mario Party 3, her first entry as a participant in the Mario Party series after her return in Mario Tennis. Her personality from that game endures, but her tomboyish side is more emphasized, and she is notably boastful. Proving she is no longer a "damsel-in-distress", Daisy smacks Bowser, sending him soaring into the sky; simply because he is in her way.

Her partner in battle mode is a Snifit, who has a large attack strength and defense. Daisy, like as Waluigi, is not playable in the story mode of the game; however, she appears after the player completed the first five regular Duel Boards. When this occurred, Daisy butters-up the Millennium Star into giving her the Beauty Star Stamp. After the player contests the decision, the Millennium Star decides that Daisy and the player 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!".

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 minigame. 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 5
One dreamy night, the Star Guards think of something, "Many dreams arrive here at Dream Depot every day," they say, "so... why don't we offer those with the power of dreaming a chance to visit?" This refers to Daisy and the others. In Mario Party 5 Daisy is invited along with other friends of Mario due to their high abilities to dream. The Star Guards prepare for their arrival by making various games to play, starting the party and commencing Story Mode, where Bowser and Koopa Kid are planning to ruin everyone's dreams. If Daisy clears the five boards, she must face the Koopa Kids in Bowser Nightmare, and if she beats that board, she fights Bowser in Frightmare, saving everyone's dreams.

Mario Party 6
Brighton and Twila, the hosts of Mario Party 6, watch over the Mario Party world from the sky. They have had always been good friends until one day, when Brighton asks Twila who is better: him or her. This results in Twila retorting back saying that she is the more impressive, and they both get into a feud that makes the sky frantically change. This chaotic feuding bothers Daisy, along with Mario, and their other friends. They try saying anything they can to stop the quarrel, but nothing seems to work.

Mario comes up with an idea suggesting that they should collect Stars and make a Star Bank to end the fight. As they collect more stars by partying, they can get more pages of the Miracle Book. Once the pages are completed, the Stars can fly to make a beautiful night sky. This makes Brighton and Twila realize how hard Mario and friends work and how pretty the sky is, resolving the feud and re-establishing their friendship.

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 8
In Mario Party 8, a whimsical ringmaster named MC Ballyhoo and his talking hat Big Top have invited Daisy and the rest of the crew to his carnival, the Star Carnival. He promises that the winner will be crowned the Superstar and that they will receive a year's supply of candy. This begins the battle between Daisy and the others in the boards to retrieve the prize.

However, upon defeating the last opponent, MC Ballyhoo claims he promises something even better than a year's supply of candy, which is the Star Rod. However, Bowser comes and steals the Star Rod and runs to his new board, Bowser's Warped Orbit. After Daisy beats one of his minions, which is either Hammer Bro. or Blooper, she challenges Bowser to a fight. After Bowser is defeated, Daisy returns the Star Rod and receives the year's supply of candy.

Mario Party DS
In Mario Party DS, the story begins with a night in the Mushroom Kingdom, where five shining objects in the sky fall to the land. Mario informs Daisy, along with the rest of the characters, that they have received an invitation to go to Bowser's Castle for a feast, all as an apology for his many evil deeds.

Daisy and the crew set off for the castle, but they find that, as one may suspect, it is a trick. Bowser and Junior trap Daisy and friends in a cage, at which point Bowser uses a magic wand called the Minimizer to shrink them to the size of chess pieces, and they are literally thrown out. This leaves Bowser to look for the five shining objects, the Sky Crystals, in peace. The gang decides to get back at Bowser, and they head back to the castle. To be the one Superstar that defeats Bowser causes the eight friends to pit themselves against each other for the great title.

Upon the Koopa King's defeat, Bowser and his son are tied up, and Mario takes the final Sky Crystal from him. They form to make a crystal DS, which is made exclusively for the fun challenge, Triangle Twisters. Bowser admits that he wants the Sky Crystals just so that he can play the game. After hearing this, Mario decides to untie the two, and they all play Triangle Twisters, thus ending the story. As for DK and Diddy, they eat the entire feast by themselves, and are quite satisfied.

Mario Party 9
For the events of Mario Party 9, Daisy encounters news along with Mario and friends that on one starry night, Mini Stars were getting pulled away from the night sky. Upon seeing evidence through a telescope that Bowser and his crew were behind the said crime, Daisy joins Mario and company to help counter the said threat.

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

Mario Kart DS
After Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Princess Daisy joins 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 is Daisy's second hand-held appearance overall since her debut to the Mario series in Super Mario Land. Daisy is a medium-weight character like in Double Dash. Daisy's three karts are the Standard DS, the Power Flower, and the Light Dancer, the second two being unlockable. Like other participants that has to be unlocked for the overall roster in Mario Kart DS, Daisy is not featured in any mission modes. Daisy is 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 style. Like Peach and Rosalina, Daisy swaps her dress for a new biker suit whenever she is driving in any of the bikes. Daisy's stat bonuses are Speed +2, Handling +1, and Mini-Turbo +1, making her the fastest Medium-Sized character in the game.

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. Representations of Daisy appear on numerous other courses including Delfino Plaza, Dry Dry Ruins, and the Block Plaza. Daisy is the staff ghost character for the Coconut Mall and Daisy Circuit levels.

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 Kart 7
In Mario Kart 7, Daisy makes her appearance as an unlockable Lightweight character. In order to unlock her, the player must earn the gold trophy of the Mushroom Cup in the 150cc engine class. Daisy's personal kart is the Birthday Girl that, just like Princess Peach, Rosalina, and the Honey Queen, gains a paint job that matches with her dress, along with the Sponge wheels, and the Peach Parasol. Her flower symbol decorates the front of the vehicle. Daisy shows bonus stats that give extra advantage to any vehicle she uses. The bonuses that give notable addition to the stats are for the acceleration and off-road, following the handling and the speed.

Being a Light class character, the vehicle does not gain so much in weight and because of that, Daisy is susceptible to be pushed apart by a heavier driver. Daisy also has her own course in Mario Kart 7 called Daisy Hills, a course of the Mushroom Cup that makes reference to the princess featuring banners of her and her flower symbol all around the track. Additionally, her course, Daisy Cruiser, from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, makes its reappearance as a retro course of the Leaf Cup, with some notable changes on the track's layout.

Super Smash Bros. Melee
Daisy appears as an unlockable trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee, available in both the Lottery and Regular Match in all three modes at various areas at all times of the game. The trophy depicts her appearance from Mario Party 3. Curiously, the trophy's description states that she appeared in Mario Golf for Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color when, in fact, she appeared in Mario Tennis for those systems. Additionally, Daisy's pallete design is available for use by Peach.

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 appearance, as it is said to "compliment her spunky scoring strikes". Her stickers use artworks from Mario Party 7 and Super Mario Strikers. The Mario Party 7 sticker, is large and gives +27 attack to leg attacks. It is only usable by Peach and Zelda. The Super Mario Strikers sticker's size is medium, and its 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 has 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.

Mario Superstar Baseball
Daisy makes her first appearance on the baseball field in Mario Superstar Baseball as a Balanced player; however, she leans more towards the Technique type. Daisy appears in Challenge Mode as the secondary Team Captain on Peach's team. Daisy shares good chemistry with both Peach and Luigi, while she shares bad chemistry with characters such Waluigi and Petey Piranha. This is also the first game that states Daisy is physically stronger than Peach, though she has had a higher level of strength in past games. Daisy's special pitch (the Flower Ball) allows 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, it is hidden by flower petals. In the game's Challenge Mode, Daisy is only able to use this move once the player has purchased the Pretty Flowers power-up. Daisy's special talents are the Quick Throw and Sliding Catch, and her strong points are 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 Hammer Bro., who is trying to remove her for evil purposes. Once defeated, the Hammer 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.

Super Mario Strikers
Once again Daisy joins the Mario crew, this time to play soccer (also known as football). Daisy is introduced to the Mario Strikers series in the first installment, Super Mario Strikers. In this game, Daisy is an Offensive Captain, who wore the number "9" jersey and possessed the ability to perform her Super Strike called Torpedo Strike. The Torpedo Strike can be classified as flower power due to the original name, Flower Strike and the flowers' trail that emit from its finish. Flowers are seen flying when Daisy strikes the ball.

Mario Strikers Charged
Daisy also appears in Mario Strikers Charged, the follow-up to Super Mario Strikers. Now qualified as a Defensive Captain, Daisy has a personal Super Ability and Mega Strike. Daisy's Super Ability is Crystal Smash!, which covers the surrounding ground with sharp orange crystals, blasting away anyone in the range. As for her Mega Strike, Daisy summons a gauntlet made up by crystal around her hand and punches the ball towards the goal, this being one of the few times in the game where someone used his/her hands to make contact with the ball. In the game's Striker Challenge Mode, Daisy faces 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.

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

Itadaki Street DS
Daisy also appears in the Dragon Quest crossover game, Itadaki Street DS, which is a Japan only release. Daisy is a playable character, and her story role has something to do with the Mario Stadium from Mario Superstar Baseball.

Fortune Street
Daisy returns as a playable participant in the sequel to the Japanese exclusive Itadaki Street DS, Fortune Street for the Nintendo Wii. She is one of the thirteen playable Mario series characters in this installment.

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for the Wii and DS, 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. Although the game does not offer a selection of events most complementary to special techniques, there are events that use them. In her fencing special, Daisy's flower power propels her, allowing her to jab rapidly. In her table tennis special, Daisy spins with flower petals surrounding her paddle, and returns the ball 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 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 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 minigame 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 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 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".

Mario Sports Mix
In Mario Sports Mix, Daisy appears once again as a Technical character. Daisy's technique is maxed, while her speed and power are average. Daisy's central abilities are her flower powers, through which she can make gardens complete with fences and cover her hands in flowers in a similar manner to pompoms to block and attack. Daisy also shows off incredible flexibility, using both arms and a leg in spin attacks as flower petals fly around her. Daisy was also given an alternate outfit, which is called Tennis-wear. It is unlocked by clearing the proper Flower Cup mission, or by using Daisy 40 times in matches. The Daisy Garden also makes a return from Mario Hoops 3-on-3, and can be played in all sports except Volleyball (with the exception of a special mission).

Physical Appearance
Daisy is a human with sapphire-blue eyes and orange-ginger hair. She is portrayed to be athletically adept, but has a varying style of play depending on the activity.

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. Daisy has retained many of her original attributes, having always been shorter than Peach with softer facial features. She has a pert, round, button nose with a flat stem. Daisy sports a thin smile with light, rosy lips; Daisy does not wear thick lipstick such as Peach or Pauline's but she does have a defined lip tone. Her eyebrows are a shade of her hair, and they are thin as well as lengthy. She has very round, wide-set eyes. They are larger than other characters', evoking an endearingly surprised expression. Daisy's eyes have two long, thick lashes, and consist of deeper blue tones than Peach's. Daisy's face is describable as round with full cheeks.

She has a very thick, bouncy, flipped, long 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 color is stated as orange, officially making her a redhead. Although her hair ranges in tones it is always an orange shade, and as of lately appears anywhere from ginger to a vivid-orange. In terms of human hair color, it often appears titian, a word used to describe a brownish orange shade of red hair. Unlike Peach, Daisy does not need to tie her hair up when participating in special activities, regardless of its past-the-shoulders length.

Clothing
Daisy is portrayed as wearing a floor-length yellow dress with wrist-length white evening 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's 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 emerald pendant, surrounded with white, flower-shaped, petals. Included in the set is a pair of emerald flower earrings and flower-style emeralds on her tiara. Daisy's tiara is golden with four jewels; he front and back jewels being the green flowers followed throughout the rest of her outfit, and at each side is one round ruby jewel.

Primary Sports Outfits
Daisy's current primary athletic wear has been used for the majority of Mario sports installments for the Gamecube, Wii, DS, and 3DS systems, ever since Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour. The primary athletic wear is a two-piece sports outfit, which includes her usual personal attire, such as her floral white collar and flower jewels including her pendant, earrings, and tiara. The shirt is a yellow tank top and adorns her pendant, and the bottom is a pair of orange shorts with yellow rims at the legs as well as two yellow curved lines running from the side seams to the front waist. Also included are a pair of orange-and-yellow tennis shoes with white bobby socks. Unless appearing in a Mario Party or Mario Kart game, Daisy will usually be depicted in this instead of her current main dress.

Daisy wore athletic wear for the first time in NES Open Tournament Golf. As described in her development section, she wore a outfit similar to Peach's, but with details from her own dress at the time. She then wore a shift dress similar to Peach's in her Mario Tennis appearances on the Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color. Just as it was with Peach's, Daisy wore orange-and-beige tennis shoes as well as white knee highs. Unlike Peach, and for unknown reasons, she did not wear her tiara. After this, Daisy has not worn a shift dress again apart from having one as an alternate costume in the later games Mario Hoops 3-on-3, Mario Sports Mix (via meeting criteria to unlock said outfit), and Mario Tennis Open (which is the outfit she wears for this game). Having been updated to match Daisy's current main dress and athletic wear, it includes her personal jewelry and dress details like the two orange ruffles at the skirt, as well as her orange-and-yellow tennis shoes. It is sleeveless and includes her tiara, unlike with the original two outfits.

Soccer Uniforms
In Super Mario Strikers, Daisy wears a two-piece soccer outfit. The outfit consists of an orange midriff-baring tank top with mint-green 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 track spikes are mint-green-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 pendant.

Later on in Mario Strikers Charged, Daisy's tank top and shorts are armoured, as are her track spikes; 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 tank top. 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 Daisy still wears her main princess outfit when driving karts, this time around she, Peach, and Rosalina were given new jumpsuits to fit the changes implemented when the player chooses any motorbike. Daisy's jumpsuit has a white-and-yellow color combination, and as usual, includes her flower jewelry as seen in her current main dress. Daisy's jumpsuit also includes a refined version of her floral gloves, yellow 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 tiara. Additionally, the outfit includes an orange sleeves with a white line accenting each arm. It also lengthens out into a shift dress with a single white hoop at the bottom. As it is a winter outfit, under the dress is a pair of tight orange pant legs 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.

This outfit also appears in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games for the Equestrian and Dream Equestrian events.

Rhythmic Gymnastics/Swimwear
Like in previous installments in the Mario & Sonic Olympics video game series, Daisy appears in Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games. However, certain events for this game has a require for Daisy to wear a more suitable outfit for them. The biggest case was for the Gymnastic and Swimming events; when the player chooses the respective events, Daisy is seen wearing a yellow leotard with orange stripes where her waist is. The outfit retains her collar, pendant, tiara, and earrings like her other athletic outfits; however, like Peach's outfit, it does not have her respective shoes, considering the said events mentioned requiring use of this outfit in question.

Development
When Daisy first appeared in the Mario series, she had hair the same length as Peach's, a flower motif to her yellow-and-white dress, a fair skin tone, and a rose-coloured tiara (due to limited graphics however, she only seemed to be wearing a yellow nightgown). There is a large misconception that she was a color-swap of Peach, as Luigi was with Mario in his debut, but this is untrue. Though Daisy's hair was the same length as Peach's, it was never in the same style. Comparing Daisy's original artwork to artwork of Peach from the same time shows she was still shorter and had her own facial structure. Finally, Daisy's original sprite did not well depict any features of either princess, color or physical appearance, due to the graphical limitations.

As stated, Daisy wore a different dress during her early appearances. She had a white sash at her waist, and the border of her dress was white with sloped patterns topped with dots over each point. This outfit also included accessories such as a blue flower pendant, blue flower earrings, a yellow flower jewel on her tiara and blue jewels on each side of the tiara. Daisy's second appearance showed her in NES Open Tournament Golf wearing a shift dress to match the occasion. This design depicted her features more clearly compared to her original appearance as the artwork was more detailed. Yellow slippers were worn, and no tiara nor gloves were present, just as it was with Peach's outfit in the same game.

In Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64 her appearance was slightly altered. Daisy was given a tan skin tone and a deeper shade of hair. 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 inconsistencies existed in-game. Her flower jewels were shown as the current green they are today in-game regardless of the fact this had not been changed in artwork. Her hair was also vivid auburn, not the burnt orange color it had been in the previous game and still in her artwork. It could also be seen she had red dress shoes to match her tiara; this is another in-game mistake as her artwork depicts her with orange dress shoes and she has never worn any dress shoes that were not orange or yellow. These inconsistencies were followed in her appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee as the game was released before the Mario characters' redesigns.

Since Mario Party 4, Daisy's design received a final update. Her short-lived tan was no longer present, and for the first time Daisy's hair changed in style. She was also given back her original orange hair, though in very few artworks it can appear auburn even though in-game as of Mario Party 3 it has never been depicted as such. Her outfit was also changed, Daisy now appeared to wear a gold tiara opposed to the previous red tiara. Her jewels were changed permanently to be green and red rather than the previous colors. Her dress now included orange panniers and ruffles at the bottom, but was relatively the same. The updated dress design and jewel colors would set Daisy's color scheme of green, orange, and yellow in place.

As with other characters, Daisy's design continues to update little-by-little with each appearance and graphical update. Since the start of the GameCube era however, not a lot has been drastically changed.

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. Unlike many other females in the Mario series, Daisy is one of the few who doesn't represent herself with pink. 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 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 Strikers 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 magic 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 mint-green 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 Super Mario Strikers, 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 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. 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.

Princess 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 Super Mario Strikers (where the two face-off in the game's opening) and Mario Strikers Charged (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, Daisy is said to be Peach's cousin. This statement has 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.

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 Strikers series. Regardless of their similar situations, in games like Mario Superstar Baseball, the two share bad chemistry. In Mario Strikers Charged, 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 affiliations 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.

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. Daisy got one of herself depicting her original design. A Mario Party 7 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, alongside Princess Peach.

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.

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."
 * Daisy debuted on April 21, 1989, in Japan, and the birth flower for April happens to be 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 Mario Super Sluggers baseball card listed her Rookie Year as 1990, despite the fact that Super Mario Land, the game that she first appeared in, was released in North America in 1989. 1990 refers to the PAL release of her debut game.
