Princess Daisy

"You may wonder why I want to win so badly. Well, it's 'cause I just HATE losing!"

- Princess Daisy

Princess Daisy, or casually Daisy, is the princess of Sarasaland. She was created by Gunpei Yokoi, Shigeru Miyamoto's mentor. Although Daisy is the ruler of Sarasaland, she currently resides in the Mushroom Kingdom. Daisy is a tomboy, something made clear in her debut appearance. 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 because of a lack of human characters in the series. She now appears in the majority of Mario spin-off games, often a playable character.

Super Mario Land
Princess Daisy's makes her debut appearance in Super Mario Land. Tatanga, a space alien, invades Daisy's nation, Sarasaland, in order to marry her and make her his queen. He kidnaps Daisy, and hypnotizes all the land's inhabitants, enslaving them into his army. Mario attempts to rescue Daisy and bring peace to Sarasaland by traveling through each of the four kingdoms in pursuit of Tatanga to try and defeat him.

Throughout the game, enemies disguise themselves as Daisy to trick Mario into believing he has rescued her. In the end Daisy is rescued, but Tatanga manages to escape. Daisy thanks Mario, and the two fly away in an aeroplane.

Nintendo Comics System
Daisy also appears in the Game Boy comic books. Just as in Super Mario Land, she is Tatanga's captive, and is waiting for Mario to save her. In these comics, Daisy, Mario, and Tatanga are released from the world of video games to go on adventures in the "Real World".

NES Open Tournament Golf
Daisy makes her second appearance as a supporting-character in NES Open Tournament Golf. Likewise Peach does for Mario, Daisy acts as a caddie for Luigi, and she makes comments on his golfing during play.

Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour
Daisy makes her golfing debut in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour for the GameCube. In Doubles Mode, Daisy and Peach are automatic partners, setting a trend for later games involving teams.

Daisy is one of the most powerful characters in the game, having a shot "Distance" just above Mario's and under Donkey Kong's. Her shot "Height" is also high, making it easy to recover from traps. She also has a good "Spin", and above-average "Impact". Without proper adjustments, however, she tends to "Slice" the ball due to her below-average "Control". If the player gets a "Nice Shot!", Daisy's ball soars through the air in a burst of flower petals.

Mario Golf: World Tour
For the second time in the Mario Golf series, Daisy is confirmed to appear in Mario Golf: World Tour, as a playable character. In this game, she uses a more modern sports set, the same used in later games, such as Mario Tennis Open and her alternative outfit in Mario Sports Mix.

She also serves as Luigi's tennis partner, and Birdo serves as hers. She rarely misses when playing close to the net, and she's the most powerful "Technique" character in the game.

In the Game Boy Color version of the game, Daisy appears as a supporting character during the game's "Exhibition Mode". Once the player is invited to "Mario World", Daisy compliments them. Daisy is shown to be close friends with Peach in this version, standing at her side in the throne room of her castle and at the "Castle Court".

Mario Power Tennis
In Mario Power Tennis Daisy is again a Technique type. She appears in the opening as Peach's tennis partner, and the two are default partners when versed in Doubles tournaments.

Daisy's Offensive Power Shot, Wonder Flower, disorients opponents and knocks them back if the shot is returned. The color of the petals also determine the direction of the ball. Her Defensive Power Shot, the Flowerbed Return, allows her to fly over a growing flower-bed to return any reachable shots. Like all Technique types, she has great control on the ball. She also has the best serve of a Technique character, as well as good power, speed, and lunge stats. Her reach is average, resulting in limited net-play.

Mario Tennis Open
In Mario Tennis Open, Daisy returns as one of the starting participants with a Technique style of play. Daisy wears a more modern tennis outfit in this game. She generally retains her stats from her appearance in Mario Power Tennis. In the shop, she has her own racket (that costs 1000 coins), her own uniform (that costs 700 coins), her own wristbands (that costs 250 coins), her own shoes (that costs 600 coins) and her own costume that's unlocked when the player collects 700+ points in Ring Shot with another player.

Daisy's most notable Mario Party appearance is in Mario Party 3, where after the player is prompted to earn the Beauty Star Stamp, Daisy intervenes and claims to be worthy of Star Stamp. She soon coaxes the Millennium Star into agreeing to hand her the Star Stamp through making him swoon over her, but is stopped by the outraged player and the Millennium Star decides to settle this on the Backtrack Duel Board. Moments before they all head over to it, Bowser interrupts their departure to the duel board, but is smacked by Daisy and sent flying into the distance, Daisy attempting justify this by stating he was in her way. The group heads off to the duel board afterwards. The player eventually defeats Daisy on the board, making her burst into tears and flee in frustration. In the game, Daisy's default duel board partner is a Snifit.

Upon the mention of the fact she was heading to a boutique, she tempts Amy into procrastinating and joining her, this eventually leading to Peach suggesting they settle this over an event, where if she beats Daisy, she stays behind to help and if Daisy beats her, Amy can go with her. Peach ends up beating Daisy and she agrees to help the group with the invitations, eventually allowing them to get the invitations to everyone except Bowser and Eggman due to a mishap with getting theirs to them.

On the morning of the Games, Daisy wanders through the now foggy Hyde Park, wondering where everyone is and why the strange fog is around. She runs into Amy, and eventually they both run into a foggy version of Peach and Blaze, who challenge Daisy and Amy to an event, who end up beating the clones and getting ambushed by an army of Peach and Amy clones afterwards.

In her initial release for Super Mario Land, a set of mini figures were released for the game, and 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.

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.

Personality
Daisy is known to be a tomboy. She can be described as energetic, cheerful, and confident. Daisy has a strong competitive drive, and in the face-of-defeat she has shown hotheadedness, though most of the time she just shows disappointment, and at other times even optimism.

A unique trait she retains is using slang and speaking with various accents. She has repeatedly used one-liners like, "yeah-hoo," said in dixie accent, and even, "yo," in an urban accent. She also has a sassy side and tends to stand idle with arms-akimbo. She is prone to air-kisses coupled with uttering, "mwah," during victory celebrations, and in the past has shown-off to get her way.

Physical description
Daisy is a human with blue eyes and ginger hair. Daisy has average weight and height compared to most characters, usually being in the "Medium" or "Light" weight-classes in Mario Kart, and being a little shorter than Peach. Her eyes are round and large, with each having two, thick lashes on the side. She has long hair with parted bangs and a flip. Her hair color ranges in shades, but is officially referred to as orange.

Daisy is represented by the colors yellow, orange, and green. She usually wears a yellow gown with orange and white accents. Wrist-length white gloves, orange high heels, and a golden crown are included. Daisy wears viridian-green jewels, surrounded by flower-shaped white rims as a staple.

Daisy's athletic wear changes game to game. Her primary wear is a two-piece sports outfit. It includes a yellow top and orange shorts; this outfit was introduced in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour. She also has an athletic miniskirt, which was introduced in Mario Hoops 3-on-3; it is unlockable for Daisy as an alternate costume and has been used in subsequent games as well.

In Super Mario Strikers, Daisy wears a two-piece soccer uniform. In Mario Strikers Charged, she dons added armor to the outfit. The uniform includes numerous flower patterns, and is available in two colors. The first is mostly orange while the alternate is mostly viridian. Daisy's soccer number can be found on the back of her chest-plate. Daisy appears in this outfit for her trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, Daisy wears an outfit more suited for cold weather. In Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, Daisy wears a yellow leotard with orange lining on either side. The outfit retains her standard jewelry and collar, and also functions as a one-piece swimsuit in aquatic events.

In Mario Kart Wii, Daisy wears a jumpsuit when riding motorbikes instead of karts. Daisy's jumpsuit is mostly white with yellow as a secondary color. They include her flower jewelry as well as an orange scarf. Her back has a yellow heart graphic with an orange outline.

Powers and abilities
Daisy's abilities are based on her large relations to flowers. Most of her special abilities use some sort of flower-related effect. Daisy's style of play changes depending on what activity she's participating in. Daisy's range of abilities can be summarized as all-around, with a certain change in each game that determines the overall style. Like other Mario characters, Daisy can punch, kick, jump, and even ground pound.

Special abilities
In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Daisy has the longest hit ratio for any human player. In Mario Power Tennis, Daisy is a technical player who has two special moves. The first is 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 summons a bed of daisies underneath her while she is in the air. In Mario Hoops 3-on-3, Daisy is once again a technical player. She uses flower powers in her special move, the Flower Shot, in which she summons a barrage of petals around herself and then kicks the ball into the net.

In Mario Superstar Baseball, she is a Balanced player who leans towards Technique. She can easily hit a home run if she receives a good pitch. 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, she swings around with flower petals all-about and hits the ball. 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, Daisy spins and throws a ball covered in flowers.

In Super Mario Strikers, Daisy is an offensive captain. Daisy's Super Strike is 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 summons 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. 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 others.

Friends
One of Daisy's closest relations is with Luigi. In NES Open Tournament Golf Daisy is seen as Luigi's caddie and Mario Golf Toadstool Tour shows Luigi and Daisy golfing alongside Peach and Mario. Their team names from the Mario Party series include: "Steady Sweeties", "Tango Tanglers", and "Shy Sidekicks". Also, in the Mario Baseball series, Luigi and Daisy share good chemistry. One of the mosy known reference ro their relationship occurs in Mario Kart Wii, where is a giant, golden statue on Daisy Circuit that shows the two holding hands and dancing together, along with another of Baby Luigi and Baby Daisy. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Daisy's trophy states: "After her appearance in Mario Golf, some gossips started portraying her as Luigi's answer to Mario's Peach". The official Mario Party 4 guide states that Luigi has a crush on Daisy.

Along with Luigi, Daisy's other closest friend is Princess Peach. Daisy is often initially partnered with Peach in spin-off installments for the Mario series. The two share a team orb, the Flower Orb, in Mario Party 7 and share a team item, the Heart, in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. Daisy and Peach share good chemistry in the Mario Baseball series. Daisy is also on Peach's team in the Challenge Mode of Mario Super Sluggers In the Prima guides for Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart Wii, Daisy is said to be Peach's cousin.

While her main relationship is with Luigi, Daisy and Mario have also shown to be friends. After Mario rescues Daisy from Tatanga in Super Mario Land, she gives him a kiss, but since then, Mario and Daisy have not shown any friendly interactions. In Mario Party 6, Mario and Daisy are given the team name "Nice Couple" when paired together, while they do not share player chemistry in Mario Superstar Baseball or it's sequel.

Enemies
While Daisy and Waluigi don't show much interaction with each other, the 2 have been portrayed as enemies. Several spin-off games suggest Daisy's relationship with Waluigi to be negative. Some of Daisy and Waluigi's team names in the Mario Party series include "Awkward Date", "Double Facers", and "Skinny Stars". In the official Mario Party 4 guide, it says that Waluigi has a crush on Daisy. It also says that Waluigi has a soft spot for Daisy. In the Mario Baseball series, Daisy and Waluigi share bad chemistry.

Daisy slaps Bowser into the sky without hesitation or regret in Mario Party 3, and refers to him as a misfit in Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympic Games after he and Eggman are defeated in the Adventure Tours mode. She also shares negative chemistry with Bowser in Mario Superstar Baseball.

In the Game Boy comic books, Tatanga attempts to get Daisy to marry him at one point, but she declines, to his apparent disappointment. Despite being kidnapped by him, Daisy shows no desire in having Tatanga killed.
