==Creation and development==
==Creation and development==
In ''Super Mario Land'', the developers wanted the game to take place in new worlds, far away from the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], and so Princess Daisy was created to fill the damsel-in-distress role for the new setting, Sarasaland<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2009/07/27/ign-presents-the-history-of-game-boy?page=2]</ref>. As Sarasaland was named after a type of floral design, Daisy was named after a flower; to match, Daisy has floral accessories in her design.<ref>{{media link|Year of Luigi Memorial Book profiles.jpg|''With LUIGI 30th Anniversary: The Year of LUIGI Memorial Book''}}</ref> Despite the role she had, Daisy was given the unique description of being an energetic tomboy<ref name="Tomboy" />, which would continue to be one of her defining traits in her subsequent appearances.

Daisy's appearance has been revised over time. In ''Super Mario Land'', her hair extended past her waist, her crown was red, she had black eyes and jewels, and her dress had a white waistband and dollop pattern. In ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]'', Daisy sported an athletic mini-dress, wore yellow ballet flats, had blue eyes and jewels, and like Peach, she did not wear a crown. Presumably due to graphic limitations in the game, she was depicted with a blue dress in-game, and was also depicted as a blonde, although her character artwork nonetheless depicted her in her usual colors. In ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|Mario Tennis]]'', Daisy's hair was darkened, and she had a darker skin tone in the game's artwork. Daisy wore orange and yellow sneakers in this game, and she did not wear a crown once more; Peach did, however. In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', Daisy's darker skin tone was applied in-game, and she wore her full-dress and crown again. Her crown now had a yellow jewel on the front and blue jewels on the sides, and she wore orange heels. In artwork, Daisy's crown was pink and her jewels were blue. In-game, her crown was red and her jewels were green. This appearance was depicted again in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''; along with the rose crown and green jewels. With the graphical changes from the Nintendo 64 to the Nintendo GameCube, starting with ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', Daisy's appearance changed further and established a more consistent design for her. The design reestablished Daisy's light skin-tone, replaced her hair with a shorter style and depicted her with a shorter stature; also new were the gold crown and the primary main dress design for Daisy with orange accents.
