Daisy is an intelligent and analytical young woman, who has a passion and attraction to dinosaurs and paleontology. Even before discovering herself to be a descendant of dinosaur she felt a strong connection to dinosaurs and related to the idea of "trying to be human". This passion later manifests itself as the growing desires of a "reptile brain" inspired by exposure to the parallel world. It is only her relationship with Luigi that grounds her humanity and prevents her from completely losing herself to those urges. | Daisy is an intelligent and analytical young woman, who has a passion and attraction to dinosaurs and paleontology.

Unfortunately, Daisy soon finds that the university cannot increase their security. Dismayed, she approaches Luigi and his brother [[Mario (film character)|Mario]] to thank them for allowing her use of the phone. Mario, realizing his younger brother's infatuation with the girl, offers her a ride back to the dig site. Unsure of the offer, Daisy notices Spike and Iggy watching her from their car and accepts the brothers' offer, believing them safer than the two men she suspects are Scapelli's goons. The three talk along the way and get to know each other enough for Daisy to accept a dinner invitation from Luigi for later that night. | Unfortunately, Daisy soon finds that the university cannot increase their security.

After Daisy is given food by a Goomba, Lena comes and tries to kill Daisy, but Yoshi pulls Lena back and Daisy escapes. While escaping, she runs into the Goomba from earlier and Spike and Iggy who are being dragged to their death. After igniting the Goomba, the trio escape after Daisy extinguishes the Goomba. Spike and Iggy claim they were two of her father's most loyal subjects and led here to Devo 4 where her father's fungal remains are. They then leave Daisy alone to process this. Yoshi comes in and Daisy pulls out the knife that Yoshi was stabbed by Lena with. After pulling the knife out, Yoshi motions Daisy towards a communications device. Using this, she communicates with the Mario Bros. and reveals her location. Once the Bros. come in, she shows them her father and directs Mario to where Daniella and the other Brooklyn Girls are. As Luigi and Daisy chase after Mario, they get caught by Koopa. When Mario and the Brooklyn Girls crash out of a vent, this distracts Koopa enough for Daisy and Luigi to escape. After attacking Koopa, the Bros. make him drop the meteorite. Lena grabs the meteorite piece and runs off. Luigi, Daisy, and the Brooklyn Girls proceed to chase Lena. Lena successfully inserts the meteorite despite the desperate pleas of Daisy. The resulting energy blast from the meteorite kills Lena. Daisy directs the Brooklyn Girls to the other dimensions so they warn those there of incoming invasion. Luigi and Daisy stay behind and successfully pull out the meteorite piece. The extinguished Goomba from earlier gives the two De-Evolution Guns. Big Bertha then gives Luigi a pair of Thwomp Stompers. The brothers then defeat Koopa and all of Dinohattan celebrates the end of their dictator. When Mario and Luigi decide to leave, they ask Daisy if she will be coming with them. Daisy then states she is going to stay here and spend time with her father. A few weeks later, she comes to the brothers' apartment and says she need their help with something. The three then go on another adventure. | After Daisy is given food by a Goomba, Lena comes and tries to kill Daisy, but Yoshi pulls Lena back and Daisy escapes.

In the manga adaptation of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' film titled ''[[Super Mario Makai Teikoku no Megami]]'', the story begins with Daisy approaching Mario and Luigi's home asking for help. She explains her excavation site has been sabotaged and someone has flooded the site. Mario and Luigi go out to the site to tend to her plumbing needs, and while the brothers are distracted, she is kidnapped by Spike and Iggy. Mario and Luigi follow her captors and come to a boulder where her face is emerging from. Luigi reaches out and snatches the meteorite necklace off her neck like in the movie, and the two follow into the boulder, being transported into the Koopa Kingdom. | In the manga adaptation of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' film titled ''[[Super Mario: Makai Teikoku no Megami]]'', the story begins with Daisy approaching Mario and Luigi's home asking for help.

Meanwhile, Daisy is brought to Koopa by Spike and Iggy, where Koopa explains that she is now in a parallel dimension created by a meteor strike. In this dimension, dinosaurs were able to survive and thrive, evolving into intelligent creatures. Koopa explains that he needs a piece of the meteorite that caused the dinosaurs' extinction on Earth to merge the two worlds so he can take over both. A woman (Daisy's mother) escaped to Earth with her newborn daughter (Daisy) twenty years ago foiling Koopa's plans, and Koopa explains he has brought Daisy over to finally accomplish his plan. He also reveals Daisy is of a [[Dinohattanite|humanoid-like reptile species]] descendant from dinosaurs. Koopa demands that Daisy hand over the meteorite necklace and Spike and Iggy reveal that two plumbers (Mario and Luigi) have confiscated it. An angry Koopa showcases his de-evolution technologies by using the Devo Gun to turn Spike and Iggy into Goombas. Koopa takes to the streets of his city with his Goomba army, and dragging Daisy with one hand, alerting Mario and Luigi through a megaphone that they need to hand over the meteorite. Daisy calls to Mario and Luigi not to, explaining it has great powers that can allow Koopa to take over both dimensions. | Meanwhile, Daisy is brought to Koopa by Spike and Iggy, where Koopa explains that she is now in a parallel dimension created by a meteor strike.

Mario fools Koopa by giving him an [[ | Mario fools Koopa by giving him an [[Bakudan Kinoko|exploding mushroom]] tied on a string to resemble the meteorite necklace, and Daisy takes off running with Luigi, who has the actual meteorite piece. The two escape to the meteorite chamber where the portal back to Earth is, but are stopped by Iggy and Spike who nab the meteorite piece and use it to merge the worlds. The two are killed from the force of the meteorite, and Daisy makes a realization that only she is capable of withstanding its powers. With Luigi's help, she pulls the meteorite piece back out of the chamber and the two re-split the worlds. After Koopa's defeat, Mario, Luigi and Daisy take off running back to Earth, to fix the de-evolutions Koopa caused in the brief merge. | ||
There are various deviations from the film regarding Daisy's character. Firstly, she already knows Mario and Luigi prior to the manga's beginning. She had already been born during her mother's escape to Earth, whereas in the film she hatches from an egg after being dropped off at the church. In addition to that, she returns to Earth with Mario and Luigi after Koopa's defeat, but she stays in the film to get to know her father. In the manga, though The King is mentioned, he is not seen nor is he referenced to be Daisy's father. | There are various deviations from the film regarding Daisy's character.
