"Hi I'm Daisy!"
—Princess Daisy

Princess Daisy, (デイジー姫 Deijī-hime?, Princess Daisy) or simply Daisy, is the princess of Sarasaland and a recurring Mario character. She debuted in Super Mario Land after she was kidnapped by the evil alien Tatanga after he had taken over the kingdom of Sarasaland and wanted to marry her and make her his queen; however, she was eventually rescued by Mario. Although she rules Sarasaland, she resided in the Mushroom Kingdom with Princess Peach after her resurgence in Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64.[2] Daisy is described as a close friend of Peach, Luigi, and Toadette. Daisy is an energetic tomboy who participates in various sporting events.

Daisy was created to be the damsel-in-distress in Super Mario Land. When the Mario Tennis developers created an evil version of Peach, Shigeru Miyamoto rejected the idea, so the game developers decided to bring Daisy back in action, so then Waluigi was created due to Wario not having a proper tennis partner. Daisy and Waluigi have gone on to appear in most spinoffs together.

Profile[]

Physical description[]

Mario Tennis 64

Daisy's former appearance.

Daisy is a woman with fair skin, vivid blue eyes, round, plump cheeks, and medium-length brown-orange hair that goes down to her shoulders and points upward.[2]

Standard appearance[]

In her early days, between Super Mario Land to Mario Party 3, Daisy had long titian brown hair that went down to her hips, making a more resembling of Peach. She wore a floor length dress in amber yellow and white. She also wore red crown with a daisy marking on it along with white short evening gloves and two blue earrings that are shaped like daisies.

Since Mario Party 4, Daisy wears a mixed yellow-orange dress with two bottom orange petal-shaped layers, a green centered daisy brooch, orange heels, white petal-shaped openings and collar, and earrings with emerald green gems. Her crown changes to old gold, but it has red and green crystal with daisies on it.

Sports dress[]

In NES Open Tournament Golf, she wore a short sundress with ballet flats, but did not keep a crown on her head. In-game, however, she was depicted as wearing a blue dress as well as blonde hair, presumably due to hardware limitations.

In Mario Tennis, she wore a short dress in amber yellow and white with a bottom white petal-shaped top, a green centered daisy brooch, white petal-shaped openings, knee-high white socks with orange sneakers, and earrings with blue gems, but doesn't keep her crown on her head. In Short Game mode, her Player 2 palette had a lavender and indigo dress, while the shoes were indigo as well.

In Mario Sports Mix, Daisy wore a short dress compared to her overall appearance that was first introduced in Mario Party 4. It draws similarity to Peach's look in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, but the mini-skirt has two stripes instead of one. This appearance would also be shown in Mario Tennis Open and Mario Golf: World Tour.

Athletic uniform[]

In Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, Daisy wears a two-piece athletic uniform consisting a yellow sleeveless top, orange shorts, and orange shoes with mid-height white socks. This form would eventually carry over to other sports games, including Mario Power Tennis, Mario Superstar Baseball, Mario Hoops 3-on-3, and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.

In Mario Tennis Aces, Daisy wears the same uniform that was first seen in Toadstool Tour, but her footwear has been replaced with orange cross-trainer hard shoes with white short ankle socks. In addition, she wears an orange wrist band on her right wrist.

Striker uniform[]

In Super Mario Strikers, Daisy wore a two-piece soccer uniform with white high-top shoes and knee high orange socks.

In Mario Strikers Charged, Daisy's soccer uniform was overlapped with pieces of armor set due to the intensity of the safety regulations. Her home uniform is orange while her road uniform is emerald green.

Biker suit[]

In Mario Kart Wii, Daisy wore a biker suit in white as the primary color with yellow as a secondary color. It includes a yellow scarf and a yellow heart graphic on the back. It features white-rimmed yellow elbow-length gloves, and matching knee-high boots in yellow with white trim and soles and keeps her crown on her head, earrings and brooch. Daisy mans this suit while riding bikes. She also mans this outfit while riding ATVs in Mario Kart 8.

Winter outfit[]

In Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, Daisy wore an outfit more suitable for colder weather. This outfit consists of a yellow minidress and orange leggings with vertical white stripes on both sides. White gloves and ankle boots with a yellow bottom are included and keeps her crown on her head, earrings and brooch.

Swimming leotard[]

In Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, Daisy wore a yellow leotard with orange lining on either side that also functions as a swimsuit, which was used specifically for gymnastic and water-based events.

Holiday cheer[]

In Mario Kart Tour, Daisy is seen with alternate forms as events came and went time after time. Her first alternate form was first introduced during the London Tour on December 3, 2019, which was her Holiday Cheer outfit. In her Holiday Cheer form, she wears a scarlet red trenchcoat with white buttons attached. The hat she wears is scarlet red and has some mistletoe attached to it. The rest of the form features her wearing vast white gloves, black leggings, and cherry red ankle boots.

Fairy[]

Her Fairy form, which was first introduced during the Flower Tour on May 5, 2020 in Mario Kart Tour. In her Fairy form, she wears a yellow fairy dress with butterfly wings attached to the rear. Green plant straps along with flowers in white and pink are attached to the dress. She also wears a round fairy crown with white pedals attached to it. She has no footwear in her Fairy form.

Sailor[]

On July 26, 2022, during the Ocean Tour, Daisy was introduced with a Sailor outfit, where she wore a sailor uniform. The shirt is white with an orange handkerchief attached to it. The hat is white with an orange stripe attached to it. The shorts are bright orange with silver buttons attached. She also wears the same shoes she wore with her sports uniform in the Sailor form.

Golfing outfit[]

In Mario Golf: Super Rush, Daisy wore a new type of outfit to suit the future properly, especially when it comes to golfing. The outfit consists of a yellow polo shirt with a white collar and rings at the end of the sleeves. The skirt is vast white with an orange belt and two Daisy badges attached to it. Her footwear consists of white hard-trainer shoes with spikes attached underneath and bright orange high socks with a yellow stripe at the top.

Philosophy[]

SSBU Daisy

Daisy taunting in Ultimate.

Daisy was originally portrayed very similarly to Princess Peach; a sweet, innocent damsel-in-distress, even having the same voice actress as Peach. However, Daisy's personality was later realigned to be of a sassy, spunky, feisty, and energetic tomboy. Daisy likes shopping and dining at restaurants. During party and sporting events, Daisy does not like to lose. As Daisy is a passionate sports girl, meaning she is very sporty and is very good at them.

Daisy is tough and hard-headed; she tries to get what she wants. Daisy attempted to claim the Beauty Stamp, but she ran off crying after she did not receive it. Daisy was disappointed in Wario and Waluigi when they did not "learn anything" after Mario defeated Lucien.

Daisy is also sensitive and rarely non-confident. Daisy was concerned for Luigi who fell upon Lucien's power. She thought that her team may not defeat Lucien.

Daisy will use her charms and tough temper to get what she wants. In Mario Party 3, she flirts with the Millennium Star to get the Beauty Stamp, and she swats Bowser into the sky when he gets in her way.

In Super Mario Strikers and Mario Strikers Charged, Daisy's 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 hide her injuries, and she crosses her arms and taps her foot disapprovingly at her teammates, who cower in response to her wrath.

Even though Daisy has been described as a tomboy and thickheaded competitor during gameplay due to her nature and animations, her philosophy on the outtakes has been described as very loyal and more intelligent, especially for enjoying various activities in daily life.

Powers and abilities[]

After Mario rescued Daisy, she was capable of her powers and abilities. Daisy can perform different physical activities without tiring herself; this gives Daisy better chances of winning. However, Daisy cannot control herself after somebody brainwashes her. Despite these potential flaws, Daisy has supernatural powers that help her survive (i.e. resist falling from extreme heights, resisting hazards).

Daisy uses magic when she performs powerful moves. Daisy can summon flowers and daisies. In Mario Power Tennis, Daisy can perform the Flowerbed Return and Wonder Flower. When Daisy performs Flowerbed Return, she summons flowerbeds when she leaps. When Daisy performs Flower Power, white petals surround her racket and she hits the ball; whoever hits the ball is pushed away. Daisy can perform Bloom Blast in Mario Tennis Aces. Daisy walks on a trail of summoned daisy petals before hitting the ball. Daisy can summon flowers by performing the Flower Shot in Mario Hoops 3-on-3. When Daisy performs this move, flowers follow the ball's trail. Daisy uses the Flower Ball in Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Super Sluggers. Her special ball summons scattered flowers; it confuses the opponents with the ball's location. In Mario Super Sluggers, Daisy can perform the Flower Swing. When Daisy performs the move, a flower garden grows where the ball will land. In Mario Sports Mix, Daisy can perform a special shot: a fenced flower garden surrounds the opponents making the target easier to accurately hit. In Mario Golf: World Tour, Daisy victoriously summons flowers after she made an Eagle or Birdie. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Daisy's move set is like Peach's, but she summons daisies or flowers instead of hearts.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Daisy can summon two rainbows with her hands, inflicting damage to aerial opponents.

In Super Smash Bros. series, when Daisy is launched into the air, she lands hard to the ground. Daisy getting up or attacking while on floor, proving her extreme heights resistance. Despite Daisy touching hazards (i.e. lava, toxic river), she somewhat recovered from them. In Bomb Barge, Daisy is more likely to be pushed into the toxic rivers, but survive. When Bowser breathed fire on Daisy, she immediately reacted, saving her life.

Daisy can Double Jump in Super Mario Run and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. She can also temporarily float in the air.

"She rarely misses when playing close to the net."
Mario Tennis instruction booklet, page 32

Flavor text[]

  • Instruction booklet: This is Princess Daisy's first foray onto the circuits. She's so cute she's become something of an idol.
  • Nintendo Player's Guide bio: Whoever said girls can't drive never met Daisy. She's fast, fearless, and not afraid to trade a little paint with anyone who tried to pass her.
  • Prima guide bio: "Hi, I'm Daisy!" Peach's cousin has always been louder, and less proper, but she's always thanked Mario, and her best friend, Luigi, for rescuing her from Tatanga the Mysterious Spaceman. Now she lives near Luigi, using his course to practice for the All Tour Cup she has her eye on.

  • Website bio: With similar skills to Mario, Daisy's plus points are her maneuverability and use of items. Her karts also have a tight turning circle, meaning that power-sliding around a corner is a cinch

  • Website: A sweet smile and a friendly face don't mean Daisy is a push-over when the racing gets tough. When the green light flashes, she leaves her friendships at the starting grid!
  • Prima guide: "Hi, I'm Daisy! Peach's cousin is louder and less proper, but she's always friendly to Mario and Luigi for saving her from Tatanga the Mysterious Spaceman."

  • North American website: Princess Peach's royal buddy is also a talented all-around kart racer. She even has her own track.
  • European website: Daisy is the tomboy princess who’s always one of the first out of the blocks thanks to her outstanding acceleration.
  • Prima guide: Daisy wasn't about to sit by while her friends had all the fun. Like Peach and Yoshi, Daisy balances relatively low speed with great acceleration.

    Behind the scenes[]

    Creation and development[]

    Gunpei Yokoi and his development team created a video game called Super Mario Land, a classic gameplay style of Super Mario Bros. where Mario explores Sarasaland to rescue Daisy from Tatanga.[8] During the development of Mario Tennis, Shigeru Miyamoto rejected the idea of evil version of Peach, WaluPeachie rom game developers; they revived Daisy. There are game descriptions that mention Daisy residing in Mushroom Kingdom.

    Portrayals[]

    Trivia[]

    Daisy in mario missing

    The Daisy lookalike in Mario is Missing!

    • It has been known that Daisy has a tomboyish personality.
      • This is shown by Daisy and Yoshi's tag team name in Mario Party 8 being Tomboy Trouble.
      • Most of her game descriptions or official websites refer her as a "tomboy".
      • But Daisy is not a total tomboy, as she wears a dress (with high heels) and has flower earrings with no shame, and is quite fond of her looks.
    • In Mario is Missing!, a woman who provides the help information bears a strong resemblance to Princess Daisy. However, it is not confirmed as to whether this character is Daisy or not.
    • Daisy was played by Samantha Matthis in the live-action movie Super Mario Bros., only she was a blonde, dinosaur/human hybrid and the princess of an alternate dimension called Dinohattan.
    • Daisy is the only Mario Kart: Double Dash!! newcomer to appear as a playable character in every subsequent Mario Kart title. Only she and Waluigi appeared in Mario Kart DS, while Waluigi was absent in Mario Kart 7, (though he was supposed to be in the game as a playable character).
    • Along with Waluigi, Daisy appears in every Mario Party game since Mario Party 3 as a playable character except Mario Party Advance.
    • Daisy never physically appeared in any Game Boy Advance game.
    • Daisy was revived because some game developers had made an evil version of Peach named WaruPichi, but Miyamoto rejected this idea.
    • In Super Smash Bros. Melee, one of Peach's alternate costumes is based on Daisy's outfit and it even changes her appearance to closely resemble Daisy, while in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, it only became a recoloring of her appearance.
      • Peach no longer has the Daisy alternate costume after Daisy appears as a fighter in Ultimate.
    • In Luigi's Mansion, there is an unused texture of Daisy's Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64) artwork. It was speculated that she was going to be the damsel in distress of the game because of this, but the texture could have just been a placeholder graphic.
