| ===Film===
| |
| In the [[Super Mario Bros. (movie)|''Super Mario Bros.'' film]], Daisy is a main character and the princess of [[Dinohatten]]. The first scene of the movie depicts Daisy’s mother, who was fleeing from [[Bowser|King Koopa]], putting a green egg with a small crystal tied to it on the steps of a cathedral. Her mother is later killed in a rock slide, and the green egg hatches into Daisy as a baby.

| The nuns had either taken a vow of silence, or decided to keep it secret, because Daisy grows up thinking she is a normal human being. However, she always has an odd love of fossils and dinosaurs, so much that she becomes a paleontologist. One of her digging sites is being hounded by [[Anthony Scapelli]], a wealthy entrepreneur, because the dig is making him lose business. One day, she meets [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], and she and Luigi really hit it off.

| Later in the film, King Koopa sends out his cousins [[Spike (character)|Spike]] and [[Iggy (Super Mario Bros.)|Iggy]] to capture Daisy. Luckily, the cousins continually kidnap the wrong girls, including Mario's girlfriend [[Daniella]]. Finally, when Mario and Luigi are helping her repair damage (done by Scapelli) to the fossil site, Iggy and Spike knock Mario and Luigi out and kidnap Daisy. They take her to Dinohattan and Mario and Luigi quickly follow. Luckily, Luigi is able to recover Daisy’s crystal necklace before she is abducted in a car, which takes the young woman straight to King Koopa’s Tower.

| When Daisy arrives, King Koopa reveals to her that she is the princess of the dinosaur world. King Koopa states that the meteor that supposedly wiped out the dinosaurs actually sent the reptiles to an alternate dimension, where they eventually evolved into humanoids (just as had happened on [[Earth]], albeit Earthlings evolved from primates). Her mother and father, King Bowser, were the king of this dimension, until King Koopa turned her father into a fungus. Her mother fled to the dinosaur's original dimension, using a crystal recovered from the meteor that caused the dimensional rift, and, as previously mentioned, entrusted her daughter’s life to a group of nuns.

|
| |
| After revealing this to Daisy, King Koopa states that he has long harbored an ambition to take over the real world (his former home), but cannot send his entire army there without the crystal. As such, he sent Iggy and Spike to find her and with her, the meteorite piece. However, Daisy does not have the crystal, Luigi does. When this is revealed to King Koopa, he locks Daisy up in his tower.
| |
|
| |
| While imprisoned, Daisy forms a friendship with King Koopa's pet, [[Yoshi]]. King Koopa’s mistress, [[Lena]], grows to hate Daisy, suspecting that King Koopa has a crush on her. Eventually, this hatred drives her insane, and Lena attempted to kill Daisy. Yoshi saves the princess at the last minute, and they both escape from the tower together. She is then kidnapped by a Goomba (who, in fact, used to an anti-King Koopa street musician named [[Toad]]). Ironically, it is Iggy and Spike, who had recently had there brains enlarged, that save Daisy from her new prison. She then meets up again with Mario and Luigi. Mario goes to save the "princesses" that Spike and Iggy kidnapped while searching for Daisy, while Luigi and Daisy go to stop the invasion.
| |
|
| |
| Finally, Daisy seals the breach between the dimensions and decides to stay in Dinohattan an take her rightful place as ruler. The end of the movie shows Daisy, geared for war, appears at Mario's apartment, telling them that they have to come back to Dinohattan, because a new threat had emerged. This was an attempt at setting up a sequel, which never came.
| |
|
| |
| The novelization of the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (movie)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' live-action movie, which is set outside the game universe, states that Daisy's father is named, King Bowser; this is likely a mistake as King Bowser isn't even depicted as her father in the movie.
