Daisy, or formallyPrincess Daisy, is the princess ofSarasaland and a recurring character in theSuper Mario franchise. She is an energetic and tomboyish princess.Mario once saved her and her kingdom from the rule ofTatanga in1989'sSuper Mario Land on theGame Boy.[1] Daisy would not make a major appearance again untilMario Tennis on theNintendo 64 in2000, and she has since made relatively frequent appearances in games of various genres. She is alsoLuigi's love interest andPeach's best friend. Daisy's traits and abilities are often flower-based.
Creation
ForSuper Mario Land, the developers wanted the game to take place in a new setting, far away from theMushroom Kingdom, and Daisy was created to fill the damsel-in-distress role.[2] Sarasaland was named after a type of floral design, and Daisy was created with a matching flower motif.[3] Despite Daisy's role as the damsel-in-distress, she was prescribed the unique personality of being tomboyish and full of energy,[1] which has continued to be part of her defining traits in subsequent appearances.
After an early hiatus in the 1990s, Daisy was reintroduced inMario Tennis. During the development ofMario Tennis, the planning department atCamelot wanted more characters with bodies better suited for the real-life sport than what most characters of theSuper Mario franchise provided, and the game's assistant director, Yusuke Sugimoto, proposedWalpeach, aWario-like version of Peach. However, this character would be turned down byNintendo because the company thought it would not be cute.[4] Afterward, Nintendo suggested Daisy to fill in the role, and the development team found her to be a valuable addition. Since then, Daisy has made regular appearances as a playable character in most of theSuper Mario multiplayer games, includingMario Party,Mario Kart, andSuper Mariosports titles.
After many of Daisy's appearances being limited to spinoff titles, she was made playable in theSuper Mario series in the mobile titleSuper Mario Run withan update, unlockable after World 30 inRemix 10 is beaten. She was subsequently made playable in the console platformerSuper Mario Bros. Wonder, where she is available right from the start.
History
Super Mario series
Super Mario Land
Daisy makes her debut inSuper 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 Sarasaland's inhabitants, turning them into the game's enemies.Mario comes to rescue Daisy and bring peace to Sarasaland by traveling through each of its four kingdoms in pursuit of defeating Tatanga. The first three worlds, theBirabuto,Muda, andEaston Kingdoms, conclude with an enemy disguising themselves as Daisy to trick Mario, with aFly, aGunion, and aKumo posing as her, respectively.Chai Kingdom is where the actual Daisy is rescued, after Tatanga is defeated by Mario, and Daisy thanks Mario before they fly away in theSky Pop II.
Though her name is correctly "Princess Daisy" in the rest of the manual, Daisy is referred to as "Daisy Princess" on page thirteen. This is likely because of the Japanese styling for Daisy's name,Deiji-hime, placing the word for "Daisy" (Deiji) before the word for "Princess" (hime).
Super Mario Maker
Mario can transform into Daisy using aMystery Mushroom inSuper Mario Maker. Hercostume was made available with the release of theAdventure in Sarasaland event course on January 14, 2016. She is one of the few characters in the game whose costume unlock is incompatible with their respectiveamiibo,[5] and instead she can only be unlocked by completing the accompanyingSuper Mario Land event course; this is because her amiibo was not released until later in 2016. As with many other character transformations, Daisy's uses voice clips from previous games. Upon collecting the Mystery Mushroom, Daisy shouts, "Yippee!", while the normalSuper Mario Bros. power-up sound effect plays. Her "course clear" and "lose a life" jingles come fromSuper Mario Land, the latter sound also having a voice clip over it. The jumping and defeated sound effects are also replaced with voice clips; the former has her occasionally saying, "Woohoo!", and the latter has her screaming, "No!" Pressing
makes Daisy perform a taunt, grunting and facing the screen with her hands folded on her lap like her sprite's pose inSuper Mario Land.
Super Mario Run
Daisy is a playable character inSuper Mario Run, starting in the version 3.0.4 update. The update opens the Remix 10 pipe, andToad informs the player that Daisy is lost within the world, giving the player the objective of rescuing Daisy and returning her. Daisy is unlocked once the player clearsVS Bowser in Area 30. Daisy's unique ability is thedouble jump - which has her perform a shorter jump while in the air. This replaces theMidair Spin. If Daisy is used to completeBowser's Bob-ombing Run, she rescues Toad instead of Peach.
A statue of Daisy and a golden statue of Daisy arebuildings available in Kingdom Builder mode.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Daisy makes her first playable appearance in aSuper Mario platformer released on a Nintendo console inSuper Mario Bros. Wonder. Unlike inSuper Mario Run, Daisy is available right from the start. In gameplay, Daisy shares the same abilities as the other characters (aside from theYoshis andNabbit). This game marks the first time Daisy can be seen using power-ups other than the Super Mushroom or Super Star. With the corresponding items, she can transform intoFire Daisy,Elephant Daisy,Bubble Daisy, andDrill Daisy.
The game's director,Shiro Mouri, revealed in an interview that Daisy was added as a playable character in part to resolve a conflict between his two daughters, who would often fight over whom would play as Peach in various games of theSuper Mario franchise.[6]
Additionally,Giselle Fernandez makes their debut as Daisy's new voice actor in this game, replacing longtime Daisy voice actressDeanna Mustard after over two decades.
Super Mario Kodansha manga
The first volume of theSuper Mario Kodansha manga anthology takes from the plot ofSuper Mario Land. Daisy andPeach are friends until they become rivals after Daisy falls in love withMario.Tatanga captures Daisy and Peach follows Mario's rescue of her while disguised as a robot to make sure Mario does not have an affair with Daisy. Daisy later makes small appearances in future volumes that portray her rivalry with Peach.
In theMario Open Golf story, Daisy plays golf with Mario, Luigi, and Peach. A disguisedKing Koopa shows up to trick them into playing a high-stakes golf tournament with pro-golfersTony andBilly. There are signs of Daisy becoming interested in Luigi as he is a much better golfer than Mario, who has to resort to cheating.
In theSuper Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins story,Wario captures Daisy. Mario and Peach's rescue efforts are often frustrated by theWitch, who plays tricks on them such as transforming into Daisy. Wario manipulates Daisy into becoming「ワルデイジー」(Warudeijī, "Waldaisy"),[7] which Tatanga believes would make her want to marry him, but she instead brainwashes the natives of his planet into serving Wario, though he seems oblivious to her intentions. Daisy seduces Luigi into becoming「ワルイージ」(Waruīji, "Waluigi")[8] and even uses evil energy to turn Peach into「ワルピーチ」(Warupīchi, "Walpeach"), but overestimates Peach's capacity for evil as she lacks badness in her heart.[9] The spell is broken when Mario kisses Daisy, and she joins the heroes in defeating Wario. Later, when Wario attempts to destroyMario's castle, she arrives with the reformed Tatanga and throws her earrings at Mario and Luigi, turning them intoFire Mario and Fire Luigi.
In theSuper 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 byCaptain Syrup. She first shows up after Wario's rowboat capsizes, appearing as a mermaid known as the "spirit of the seas," giving Wario the threePower Up Pots. 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.
Daisy later reappears onKitchen 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 inStove Canyon. However, Debidebi Daiō falls in love with Daisy, sending theGenie to kidnap her. While kidnapped, Daisy receives a vision from Peach, who reveals that Daisy is in fact, analter 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 afour-cell gag strip at the end of the second volume of theYoshi'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 authenticity of this event is unclear.

Super Mario Land Kessen Meiro
InSuper Mario Land Kessen Meiro, Daisy is only seen in the first and last page of the puzzle manga: first in an icon shown with Tatanga as his hostage, then trapped in the pagoda castle on top of Chai Kingdom's mountain, guarded by twoNyololin.

Daisy next makes a cameo appearance involume 3, stage 11, "Bowser's Castle Rush!!! Defeat the Rivals!!" Daisy sends Mario a package in the form of theMarine Pop, although it is broken.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
- SmashWiki article:Daisy (SSBU)
Daisy is a playable character inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. She was first announced during theE3 2018Nintendo Direct alongside fellow newcomersInkling andRidley. Daisy is aclone of Peach (and one of seven clones specifically labeled as "Echo Fighters"), meaning that herattacks and animations are generally derived from Peach's; in practice however, she is functionally completely identical gameplay-wise to Peach. Daisy still has different animations for standing anddashing, along with some aesthetic differences, such as the use of aBlue Toad instead ofToad himself, or orange/yellow flower petal effects replacing Peach's pink heart effects on various attacks. Daisy can use Peach'sfloating ability with identical functionality. Daisy uses aBlue Toad for all of hergrabs, as well as herneutral special move,Toad. Like Peach, she plucksVegetables from the ground for herdown special move, which have varyingdamage outputs depending on their faces; there is a small chance of Daisy plucking aBob-omb orMr. Saturn instead. Daisy'sup special move isDaisy Parasol, marking the first time she has been seen using a parasol similar toPeach's own. HerFinal Smash isDaisy Blossom; it is functionally identical to Peach Blossom, but summons giant flowers instead of giant peaches, and it is themed after Daisy. Daisy is lighter thanMarth,Diddy Kong, andLucina but heavier than YoungLink,Greninja, andIsabelle, while having the same weight as Peach. Daisy's voice clips are reused fromMario Kart Wii,Mario Kart 8,Super Mario Run,Mario Super Sluggers, andMario Party 10. Daisy's Mii wig from the previous game returns, and is now available from the start.
InAdventure Mode: World of Light, she is recruited atDracula's Castle after herpuppet fighter is defeated.
Daisy is one of the twonewcomers without an introduction tagline, similarly toDark Pit inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS /Wii U), with the other being Inkling. She is also the only newcomer in this game without a dedicated reveal video, as she was simply shown coinciding with the introduction of the term "Echo Fighter", and the explanation that both Dark Pit andLucina would be classified as such in the E3 2018 Nintendo Direct.[10]

In the cinematic shown after defeating Bowser, Daisy celebrates with the crew before marching toward the entrance of the Baseball Kingdom, looking towards the sunset, and the lights come on at night. In the last cinematic, Daisy unknowingly escorts Bowser and his son to the Daisy Cruiser. As the characters have some desserts and beverages, Daisy stands at one table between Yoshi and Red Toad before a display of fireworks storm the night sky, surprising the witnesses. Daisy and the other characters retreat to Mario Stadium to witness a show ofBob-omb Derby.
Daisy is both a playable character and a team captain. Her baby counterpart,Baby Daisy, is also playable. Daisy shares chemistry withBirdo, in addition to retaining hers with Peach and Luigi.

In Exhibition Mode, Daisy is the Team Captain for the Daisy Flowers. The icon for this team includes Daisy's crown, along with a floral wreath used as the border around it. Finally, herMario Super Sluggers baseball card lists her Rookie Year as 1990, but her debut appearance,Super Mario Land, was released in 1989; 1990 instead refers to its PAL releases.

Yo, this is Princess Daisy
You're listening to Super Mario Compact Disco
Kick it
Daisy was also mentioned in the songsSuper Mario Land,Radio Compact Disco 4,Super Mario USA, andSix Golden Coins.

On the Japanese release, the song was titledDaisy's Mix, but on the United Kingdom release it was titledDaisy's Breakdown. On thesoundtrack for Super Mario Land released only in Japan, Daisy had her own song titledOh! Daisy (Princess Daisy Theme).
General information
Physical description
Daisy is a young[24] woman with large blue eyes and deep orange hair[25]. She has an average height compared to otherSuper Mario characters, being shorter than Peach[26] but generally depicted as taller than Luigi except inSuper Mario Bros. Wonder; due to her similar body shape to Peach's, she is usually classified in the middle of weight classes in theMario Kart series. She has shoulder-length, flipped hair with big parted bangs, round cheeks, thin light-colored lips, two thick black lashes on each eye and long eyebrows.
Daisy usually wears a yellow, floor-length dress similar to Peach's, but with white and orange accents. It has puffy sleeves with white, petal-shaped openings, a matching collar, orange panniers at the waist, and two rows of orange frills at the base; in some games, there is a white petticoat underneath the dress, and her bodice sports princess seams inMario Kart World. She wears short, white gloves with petal-shaped openings and dark orange high heels. Her jewelry consists of white, flower-shaped earrings and brooch with round green gems, and a gold crown with red jewels on the sides.
Daisy's appearance has been varied and revised over time. Especially throughout her early appearances, details of her design differed and varied until being set to a more common standard as of a redesign introduced with the release ofMario Party 4 on the Nintendo GameCube in 2002. InSuper 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. InNES Open Tournament Golf, she had blue eyes and jewels. FromMario Tennis toMario Party 3, Daisy was given darker hair and skin, her crown had a yellow jewel on the front and blue jewels on the sides, and she was shown wearing orange heels. With the graphical changes from the Nintendo 64 to the GameCube, starting withMario Party 4, Daisy's appearance changed further and established a more consistent design for her. The design reprised Daisy's original lighter skin and hair color and cut the hair to a shoulder-length style; also new were the gold crown and the main dress with orange accents, which made her design more consistently aligned with Peach's. Beginning with the Nintendo Switch era, some games, such asMario Golf: Super Rush, have Daisy's skin tone seeming slightly darker than Peach's or have a distinct orange undertone.
Alternate outfits
InNES Open Tournament Golf, she wears a sundress that is similar overall to her usual dress, although shorter, yellow ballet flats, and she lacked a crown. In-game, however, she was depicted having blonde hair and wearing a blue dress, presumably due to graphic limitations.
For Daisy's official breakthrough into theSuper Mario franchise overall inMario Tennis for theNintendo 64, Daisy wears a dress similar to the one she wore inNES Open Tournament Golf, where the primary colors are amber yellow and the polka dots and linings are white. In addition, she wore orange shoes with white high socks to suits the sports theme properly. She also had an alternative color palette in Short Game mode, where her dress was lavender and indigo, while the shoes were colored indigo as well.
When the GameCubeSuper Mario sports installments came around, her current sports attire started to make their debut appearance as well. Daisy's primary athletic wear is a two-piece uniform, which was first introduced inMario Golf: Toadstool Tour. It includes a sleeveless yellow top with her flower brooch, orange shorts, and tennis shoes with mid-height white socks. Daisy appears in this outfit more often than any other outfit, including her usual gown. She also has an athletic minidress, which was first introduced inMario Hoops 3-on-3. It is a short yellow dress with two orange frills at the bottom resembling the ruffles on her usual gown. This outfit was first an unlockable alternative to her two-piece athletic uniform and was later used as her primary athletic wear inMario Tennis Open andMario Golf: World Tour.
InMario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, she wears a new outfit similar to her regular athletic outfit; the top is a crop with white accents on the sides, while the shorts are a bit darker and longer and come with yellow linings on the sides. This outfit receives some minor additions depending on the sport, such as a brown harness belt in the Sport Climbing and Archery events, or burnt orange knee-high socks in Football and Rugby Sevens.
InSuper Mario Strikers, Daisy wears a soccer uniform with a crop. Both the jersey and shorts are orange with emerald green linings on the sides. Also included are emerald green high tops with orange high socks. InMario Strikers Charged, she wears the same uniform, but with pieces of armor overlapping it due to the game's intensity. It is available in two colors: the first is orange while the alternate is emerald green. Daisy's soccer number can be found on the back of her chest-plate. Daisy appears in this outfit for her trophy inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl. InMario Strikers: Battle League, her soccer uniform is a standard soccer jersey and shorts that can now be worn with or without armor.
InMario Kart Wii andMario Kart 8/Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Daisy wears a special biker suit when ridingmotorbikes instead ofkarts, and also onATVs in the latter two titles. Daisy's jumpsuit is white with yellow as a secondary color. It includes a yellow scarf and a yellow heart graphic on the back. It features yellow elbow-length gloves with white accents, similar to Princess Peach's regular gloves, matching knee-high yellow boots with white trims and soles, and a matching belt with a silver buckle. InMario Kart 8, the white on her jumpsuit is now a yellowish-white color. InMario Kart World, this outfit appears as one of her costumes, with the difference of her hair being held in a side ponytail on her left.
InMario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, Daisy wears an outfit more suited for cold weather, consisting of a yellow mini-dress with long orange sleeves and orange leggings with vertical white stripes on both sides. She also wears white gloves and boots with yellow laces.
InMario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games andMario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Daisy wears a yellow leotard with orange lining on either side that also functions as a swimsuit; she is seen wearing this for the Rhythmic Gymnastics and Aquatics events in these installments.
InMario Golf: Super Rush, Daisy wears a new outfit that suits the golfing theme more. This outfit consists of a yellow polo shirt, a white skirt with an orange belt and two flower badges attached to the left center. The footwear is similar to what she wore inMario Tennis Aces, although a set of spike cleats are attached to the soles, and she wears orange high socks with a yellow stripe at the near top.
InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, Daisy's standard dress was modified to a greater level of detail. Her crown has embossed patterns added on its surface. Embroidered details have been added to her collar, sleeve openings, and gloves. Seams were added on her torso that segment it into sections. A detailed white centerpiece was added in her midsection. An additional skirt layer was added that is split down the center and tipped with a tatted, white frill. Detailed plant-like patterns were added to her gown in various locations, including some akin to her original dress pattern. The two ruffles on the bottom of her dress were raised to display a yellow opening. The orange ruffles themselves were also covered in greater levels of detail. Her heels were made a matching orange color to her dress accents, and the red crown jewels are much pinker. The petticoat sometimes seen beneath Daisy's gown is absent in place of a deeply shaded void. Her dress comes in eight different color palettes.
InMario Kart Tour, Daisy is seen in alternative forms. In her Holiday Cheer form, Daisy wears a red coat with white trimmings and buttons. The build also features a red beret with holly leaves, and she has black leggings with white-and-red colored ankle boots, befitting the Christmas aspect of the London Tour. In her Fairy form, Daisy wears a yellow flower dress with green leaf straps, a belt of green leaves with pink and white flowers, a daisy wreath and yellow butterfly wings similar to common depictions of fairies. In her Yukata form, the yukata is colored orange with white streaks and scale designs, a blue sash, and a Cheep-Cheep mask. In her Swimwear form, Daisy wears a yellow and orange swimdress, with the frills resembling flower petals and orange shorts underneath, a yellow and orange striped thin hairbow and matching flip-flops, with buckles resembling her flower brooch. In her Farmer form, she wears an orange-yellow long-sleeve shirt with blue overalls, similar to Peach's inSuper Mario Odyssey, but instead of wearing a straw hat, she wears a headband similar to the one she wears in her Swimwear variant but without the stripes. In Her Thai Dress form, she wears a green and orangesabai, a golden crown with a round red gem, and silver heels. In her Sailor form, she wears a white and orange sailor shirt and hat with orange shorts and golden buttons, as well as the same orange shoes that she usually wears with her athletic uniform in theMario Sports games.
InSuper Mario Bros. Wonder, Daisy is seen with several power-up forms. With aFire Flower, her dress turns white while the orange parts remain the same and her collar becomes orange. With aDrill Mushroom, Daisy wears a drill hat, while the dress is colored onyx black with light grey stripes forming a spiral around it, similar to Peach's version of the same power-up, while the orange parts and white openings remain the same. With theElephant Fruit, Daisy turns into an orange elephant, her dress is largely the same as her regular dress except she has visible bloomers underneath. With aBubble Flower, Daisy's dress turns purple with the orange accents becoming yellow.
Personality
Daisy is portrayed as a tomboy with an extroverted personality and a tough demeanor. She can be described as spunky, energetic, loud, cheerful, and confident. In the songSave Me With Your Charm, she was shown to speak with a British accent, although in later appearances, when speaking, she uses American slang and has a twang to her voice. She also has a sassy side, often regarded for her wittiness and attitude. Unlike Peach, Daisy is not as proper or poised as she would be based on her appearance and status as royalty; such as standing with her hands on her hips, exhibiting hotheadedness in defeat, and showing off in victory or to get her way. It has been suggested her choice of colors could reflect her personality,[27] with orange being her favorite.[28] She likes to go shopping and dine at fine restaurants, but gladly passes up such enjoyments to train instead.
Daisy is also portrayed as a champion. InMario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, she seems to be an expert on skating sports; at the point, she was the only one who managed to beatLakitu's missions. InMario Strikers Charged, she won the Brick Wall Award for four consecutive years, and five after beating her challenge. InMario Party 3, she said that she had never lost before, not even toher father.
Daisy has claimed to be clumsy. She fell off stage while receiving her trophy inMario Tennis, needs help after getting lost in the Remix 10 pipe inSuper Mario Run, and admits to being absentminded while waiting for her turn inFortune Street.
Daisy will use her charms and tough temper to get what she wants. InMario Party 3, she flirts with theMillennium Star to get the Beauty Stamp, and she swatsBowser into the sky when he gets in her way.
InSuper Mario Strikers andMario Strikers Charged, her personality is heightened. She celebrates scoring by showboating; throwing herself on the ground as she pumps her arms, brushing her shoulders off, and making a sizzling sound as she presses a finger to her backside. She responds to opponents scoring by trying to conceal her injuries, and she crosses her arms and taps her foot disapprovingly at her teammates, who cower in response to her wrath. InMario Tennis Aces, she largely has the same personality traits as before, although she does show some lack of confidence after witnessing Lucien's possessingWario,Waluigi, andLuigi, even believing they may not even be able to beat Lucien due to its powers. She also showed some common sense, as she immediately suspected Toad knew more than he let on about Lucien and demanded he tell the truth, and later became disappointed in Wario and Waluigi for even considering getting Lucien again after Mario beat Bowcien, especially after what happened to them earlier.
InFortune Street, Daisy's personality is more heavily explored with the robust amount of dialogue among characters. She is shown to be impulsive and excitable, eager to take on big challenges and try new things; like scaling theColossus and riding the flying train at theObservatory. She considers becoming a professional athlete when tasked to pick a new trade-inAlltrades Abbey, and she repeatedly remarks on wanting to take home cute creatures likeYoshi andSlime to have as pets. Daisy is shown to be domineering and direct to others, teasing and bossing Luigi around when his shops are not large enough. She also talks down to enemies like Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser, refusing to congratulate their success and criticizing their shops, believing they would commit foul play. The same game also shows she's not above pitching a fit or forcing others to pay up to allow her to get an expensive item at her request, based on some of her comments. She also implies that she has a bit of a ruthless side, as she makes clear that she's willing to "fight dirty" despite her status as a princess when warning others to not underestimate her. It is also hinted in her bio forMario Party 3 as well as her comments to Birdo that she is a bit vain regarding her appearance.
Daisy's love for flowers is one of her most notable traits. In addition to having flower accessories/patterns on the majority of her outfits, her presents' room inMario Party 4 notes Daisy likes to pick up flowers herself. InFortune Street, Daisy says she would like to be gifted a flower bouquet rather than being gifted a victory. In the story mode ofMario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, Daisy is ecstatic to see the flowers aChao took care of for her and proceeds to kick off aKiki who wants to damage them. According to theSuper Game BoyPlayer's Guide, Daisy enjoys working in her castle's rose garden.[29]
Powers and abilities
In the mainline platformer games, like otherSuper Mario characters, Daisy canpunch,kick,jump,wall kick, andground pound, as well being able tojump in midair inSuper Mario Run. Daisy is also capable of using power-ups such as theFire Flower among others, as shown for the first time inSuper Mario Bros. Wonder.
In the sports-based games, Daisy is usually an all-around or technique character, overall. InMario Superstar Baseball, she is a Balance type player who leans more towards Technique, and inMario Power Tennis, she is a purely Technical player.Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games was the first time Daisy was classified as a Speed player, but even then, her rounded technique still qualified her for a balanced range of event handicaps. She has also been occasionally shown to have a strong swing, having the longest non-star drive of any human player inMario Golf: Toadstool Tour.
Most of Daisy'sabilities and powers use some sort of flower-related effect, either as a visual side-effect or an active part of the technique. These often take the form of making petals appear, ranging from herFlower Ball abilities inMario Superstar Baseball, which use petals to obscure the ball from the opponents' view, to her offensiveMario Power Tennis moveWonder Flower, giving her hits special powers determined by the color of the petals surrounding her racket, to the simple visual flair they bring to her special moveFlower Shot inMario Hoops 3-on-3 andMario Sports Mix. InMario Golf: World Tour, one of her victory animations even features her changing from her tennis outfit into her standard appearance in a flurry of petals. In other games, she can summon entire flowers from the ground, such as a garden fence and a patch of daisies to block other players from catching the ball hit with her Flower Swing inMario Super Sluggers andMario Sports Mix, or the bed of daisies appearing beneath her during her defensiveMario Power TennisFlowerbed Return.
InSuper Mario Strikers, Daisy is an offensive team captain. Her Super Strike is called theTorpedo Strike, and once more involves flower visuals behind her. However, in the sequel,Mario Strikers Charged, Daisy is a defensive team captain instead and is uniquely associated with crystal summoning abilities, having them erupt from the playing field for herCrystal Smash!Super Ability, and encasing her fist in them to punch the ball towards the goal during her Crystallized DaisyMega Strike.
InMario Party 3, she was shown to have enough physical strength to effortlessly send Bowser flying into the sky with just a single slap.
Relationships
Friends
One of Daisy's closest relations is withLuigi. InNES Open Tournament Golf, Daisy is seen as Luigi'scaddie andMario Golf: Toadstool Tour shows Luigi and Daisy golfing alongside Peach and Mario. The first hint to a romantic spark in their relationship is shown in theSuper Mario Kodansha manga, in theNES Open Tournament Golf adaptation: after seeing how good Luigi is at golf, Daisy gives him a kiss on the cheek and is touched by how he bravely protected her from a hurricane. In herMario Power Tennis victory scene, Daisy says, "Hey, sweetie!" to Luigi, and he gawks at her skating prowess. Also, in theSuper Mario Stadium series, Luigi and Daisy share good chemistry. One of the most known references to their relationship occurs inMario Kart Wii, where there is a giant, golden statue on Daisy Circuit that shows the two holding hands and dancing together, along with another of them as babies. InSuper 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". Their team names from the Mario Party series include, "Steady Sweeties" and "Tango Tanglers". InFortune Street, Daisy expresses disappointment upon landing on his cheap shop, telling him that "[he] could make this shop so much bigger!" Daisy and Luigi are seen walking together inMario Party: Island Tour's opening cutscene. The sixth page of the officialMario Party 4 guide states that Luigi has a crush on Daisy. InMario Tennis Aces, Daisy is shown to be worried for Luigi when he disappears withWario andWaluigi after being corrupted byLucien, telling Mario to "[p]lease... just bring Luigi back safely!" InMario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, Daisy has a unique finishing animation with Luigi duringFigure Skating Pairs, something only four potential pairs in the event have.
Peach is Daisy's other closest friend. Daisy is often partnered with Peach by default in spin-off installments for theSuper Mario franchise. The two share a team orb, theFlower Orb, inMario Party 7 and share a team item, theHeart, inMario Kart: Double Dash!!. Daisy and Peach share good chemistry in theSuper Mario Stadium series, and Daisy is also on Peach's team in the Challenge Mode ofMario Super Sluggers. InFortune Street, Daisy is encouraging Peach when she's going to win, saying, "I'm lovin' the girl power, Peach! Win this one for the ladies!"Mario Power Tennis's website says that Daisy is Peach's "sister in arms". Her bio from the Wii U version ofMario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games says she makes plans to go shopping with Peach in her downtime. ThePrima guides forMario Kart: Double Dash!! andMario Kart Wii, in addition to erroneously suggesting that Luigi was involved inSuper Mario Land, refer to Daisy as Peach's cousin,[30][31] a claim that has not been confirmed or denied by Nintendo. Before her official return inMario Tennis and by extension, the start of Peach and Daisy's friendship, a 4-Koma segment of the mangaSuper Mario-kun depicted Daisy as being a rival of Peach, with the latter being jealous enough of Mario giving Daisy constant attention that she threw a mushroom at him in frustration.
Daisy andMario are also shown to be on friendly terms. Early supplemental material forSuper Mario Land such as theSuper Game BoyPlayer's Guide indicates that Mario once had romantic feelings for Daisy,[29] and the Kodansha manga depicts Daisy and Peach as longtime love rivals infatuated with Mario, until she directs her attention to Luigi, to the point of even bullying Mario for his terrible golf skills and even telling Peach that their rivalry ends there (though she would keep showing friendly affection towards Mario later in the series). However, outside of a heart that appears between them after Mario rescues Daisy from Tatanga, Mario and Daisy have not even shown any particularly friendly interactions in subsequent games untilMario Tennis Aces. InMario Party 6, Mario and Daisy are given the team name "Nice Couple" when paired together, while they have neutral player chemistry inMario Superstar Baseball or itssequel. InMario Tennis Aces, she offered to come with Mario to help him save Luigi and also was the first to tell them about the flyer. Also, she made clear that Mario defeated Lucien anyway, despite the racket's fearsome powers when reminding Waluigi and Wario about how the greedy duo caused disaster from the last time they tried to obtain Lucien.
Birdo appears to be a good friend of Daisy. InFortune Street Daisy shares a friendly joke with Birdo when the latter is close to victory or Daisy swaps shops with her: "I'd give you a blue ribbon for first place, Birdo, but somehow I think you'd prefer a pink ribbon! Hee hee!". They show good chemistry inSuper Mario Sluggers, and inMario Party 8 their team name is "Gallopin' Gal Pals". InMario Tennis, Birdo is Daisy's Doubles Partner. She also was seen partnering up withRosalina for the tennis bout inMario Sports Superstars, hinting at good ties between them.Toadette also appears to be in good terms with Daisy. InSuper Mario Bros. Wonder, they are seen having a conversation while waiting for Prince Florian to show up. Later on when Bowser merges with the Flower Castle, causing a sequence of tremors, Daisy stops Toadette from falling over.
Daisy is also shown to be great friends withAmy Rose andBlaze the Cat from theSonic the Hedgehog franchise. She and Peach are seen next to them in the opening ofMario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games with she and Blaze bonding in Ultimate Figure Skating. InMario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, she and Amy are often seen hanging out together as close friends.
Enemies
Daisy andWaluigi have been portrayed as having a bad relationship, with several games depicting Daisy's interactions with Waluigi as negative. In the officialMario Party 4 guide, it says that Waluigi has a crush on Daisy, and their team name inMario Party 5 andMario Party 6 is "Awkward Date". In theSuper Mario Stadium series, Daisy and Waluigi have bad chemistry. InMario Strikers Charged, Waluigi is her opponent in Challenges mode. InMario Kart 8, Waluigi is Daisy's rival when playing in the Grand Prix. InFortune Street, Daisy seems to think lowly of Waluigi. If she lands on one of Waluigi's low-priced shops, she says that the shop is disappointing, and she is not surprised that the shop belongs to him,[32] while when she lands on an average shop, she asks why she needs to stop here and she feels disgusted.[33] InMario Tennis Aces, she felt that Waluigi and Wario were more suspicious than usual,[34] and also condemned them when they implied wanting to use Lucien again so they would become strong tennis players, especially when Mario already defeated Lucien, despite its ferocious abilities anyway.[35]
InSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS andSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U,Wendy O. Koopa's trophy states that she sees Peach and Daisy as her rivals. InMario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Wendy calls Daisy a "poser" as well as "lame". InMario Kart 8 Deluxe, Wendy has Daisy as one of her rivals.
Daisy, like anyone affiliated with Mario, has an antagonistic relationship with Bowser. With a surprising amount of strength, she smacks the Koopa King into the sky inMario Party 3, and refers to him as a misfit inMario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games after he andDr. Eggman are defeated in the Adventure Tours mode. She also has bad chemistry with Bowser in theSuper Mario Stadium series. In the final cinematic ofMario Super Sluggers, Daisy escorted Bowser and his son Bowser Jr. to the Daisy Cruiser during the night, showing she can be civil with him on occasions, although she still gives them both small portions of dessert compared to everyone else. InFortune Street, Daisy sees no threat or significance in Bowser.[36] If Bowser is about to win the game, Daisy says she refuses to congratulate Bowser "no matter how awesome he did". Bowser, likewise, denigrates Daisy's efforts, seeing her as lower than Peach inFortune Street. InMario Tennis Aces, she indicates that one of the biggest reasons she loathes Bowser is because of his willingness to cause conflicts or even worsen them just to settle his arch-rivalry with Mario, especially when Bowser tries empowering himself by stealing Lucien and the Power Stones while she, Peach, and Mario were dealing with the possessed Wario, Waluigi, and Luigi. After witnessing Lucien possess them, as well as learning its possible origin, she was shown to be very disturbed by the racket and was somewhat shaken even after its ultimate destruction. Despite this,Mario Party Superstars has her look visibly frightened of Bowser's presence if she lands on aBowser Space.
Daisy andPetey Piranha have negative chemistry inMario Superstar Baseball, though this is no longer the case in its sequel, while multiple specimens live in her garden in bothMario Hoops 3-on-3 andMario Sports Mix, suggesting that they had a change of heart.

Then one day, that terrible tyrant, Tatanga, burst into the princess’ happy garden and took her away to live in his dark and dreary kingdom. When Mario heard of this heinous act, he set off to rescue his longtime love. Now, he must survive the minions of Tatanga’s evil army to save his beloved from a rose-less life of despair.
