In the ''[[Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land]]'' story, Daisy appears as a recurring character, aiding Mario, Peach, Luigi, and Wario as they try to reclaim the treasure stolen by [[Captain Syrup]]. She first appears after Wario's rowboat capsizes, appearing as a mermaid known as the "spirit of the seas", giving Wario the three [[Power Up Pot]]s. However, it is later revealed that this was Daisy disguising herself as part of a plot to gain Mario's affections, hoping that if Wario looked cooler Peach would fall in love with him instead of Mario. | In the ''[[Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land]]'' story, Daisy appears as a recurring character, aiding Mario, Peach, Luigi, and Wario as they try to reclaim the treasure stolen by [[Captain Syrup]].

Daisy later reappears on [[Kitchen Island]] while Mario and Luigi travel there to investigate the cause of a mysterious fog that has spread over the Mushroom Kingdom, making the citizens all fall ill.

She assists Mario in stopping the source of the poisonous fog, [[Debidebi Daiō]], who was released after Mario and friends destroyed a statue in [[Stove Canyon]]. However, Debidebi Daiō falls in love with Daisy, sending the [[Genie (Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3)|Genie]] to kidnap her. While kidnapped, Daisy receives a vision from Peach, who reveals that Daisy is in fact, an {{wp|fenshen|alter ego}} of herself. She asks Daisy to save the world in her stead, as she is incapacitated by her illness. However, she adds that after doing so, Daisy will disappear. Eventually, Mario rescues Daisy and defeats Debidebi Daiō, but the poison gas remains spread across the world. Knowing what she has to do, Daisy states she knows a way to still save the world, thanking Mario for all the wonderful memories and kissing him before saying goodbye. Before disappearing, she asks Mario to think of her whenever he sees daisies blooming in a field, her body turning into spores. The spores spread across the world, purifying it and healing everyone who had fallen sick. Mario mourns her sacrifice, and is later shown placing flowers at her grave. However, after purifying the world, Daisy's spores touch down on the ground, sprouting into flowers which bloom and grow into a horde of small versions of Daisy, reviving her. The group of Daisies excitedly runs towards Mario, much to everyone's surprise. | ||
Daisy's final appearance in the manga is in a 4-koma gag strip at the end of the second volume of the ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' adaptation. Luigi tells the revived Daisy that she is just a copy, and that he loved the original Daisy, sadly placing a ring of flowers on her tombstone. However, the ground beneath the grave begins to rise, causing Luigi to scream in terror and urinate himself. Given the gag nature of this strip, the canonicity of this event is unclear. | Daisy's final appearance in the manga is in a 4-koma gag strip at the end of the second volume of the ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' adaptation.
