{{dablink|This article is about the ''Mario'' character. For the ''[[Portal: Pokémon|Pokémon]]'' character, see [[Daisy Oak]].}}

'''Princess Daisy''' is a supporting character from the ''[[Portal: Mario|Super Mario]]'' series who has primarily appeared in the sports and party spin-offs of the ''Mario'' series over the years. She originally appeared in ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', which was her only appearance in the main series until 2016's ''[[Super Mario Run]]''.

=Background=

Daisy hailed from and ruled over [[Sarasaland]], which was described as a 'world' containing four kingdoms. The space conqueror [[Tatanga]] came to Sarasaland in ''Super Mario Land'' and hypnotized the inhabitants into doing his bidding. He them kidnapped Daisy and even set up fakes of her at the end of each of the four kingdoms, guarded by his strongest of minions. [[Mario]] rescued Daisy after a long quest and the two took off in a rocket ship that had presumably belonged to the defeated Tatanga.

She later made a brief appearance in ''[[NES Open Tournament Golf]]'' as Luigi's caddie, and at that point there was a long gap in her appearances until she returned as a playable character in ''[[Mario Tennis 64]]''. From then on, she has acted as a constant presence in the spin-off games. She's played golf, tennis, basketball, soccer, kart races, and taken part in the myriad of Mario Parties. Not much has been learned about Daisy, although she has been shown to own her own cruise ship, as seen in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', and she has sometimes been described as being tomboyish. She has been constantly partnered with [[Peach]] (and a sometimes [[Luigi]]) as her double. It has occasionally been implied that she and Luigi possibly have a romantic interest. She has also been shown to have an infant counterpart, named Baby Daisy, who has solely appeared in the spin-off games after being introduced in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.

Daisy later made a full reappearance in adventure games with ''[[Super Mario Run]]''. She appeared within the mode known as Remix 10, where she had gotten lost and needed to be rescued by Mario. To rescue her, all 30 courses of Remix 10 had to be cleared. After being rescued, Daisy was unlocked as a playable character. She was shown to possess a double jump as her unique ability. In ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'', Daisy and Baby Daisy both appeared as playable doctors who could be unlocked at random through the game's Staffing feature. Dr. Daisy was added to the game in August 2019, and Dr. Baby Daisy was added in the following month.

Daisy was also playable in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' and ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]''. Her crown could also be seen in the Locker Room of the Marion Clubhouse in ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'', although it was mistranslated as [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]]'s Crown.

Daisy also made cameo appearances in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]''.

===Mario Party===

Daisy has become a regularly playable character in the ''Mario Party'' series, starting in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', where she was not playable in Story Mode. Afterwards, she has also been playable in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', ''[[Mario Party-e]]'', ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''.

In the Story Mode of ''Mario Party 3'', Daisy appeared after the Courage Star Stamp was won by the player to claim the Beauty Star Stamp. She nearly convinced the [[Millennium Star]] to give it to her without a test by using her charms, but the player character objected to it. This resulted in a Duel Match between the two for the Beauty stamp at Backtrack. Daisy lost the match and then ran away.

==Cameos and Non-Storyline Roles===

*In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', Daisy appeared as one of the costumes that Mario can transform into with the [[Mystery Mushroom]]. Her costume was unlocked by by completing the event course called "Adventure in Sarasaland".
*In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World|Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', a [[Yoshi]] design based on Daisy's appearance could be unlocked by scanning her amiibo.
*If the player scans a Daisy amiibo in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', [[Uncle Amiibo]] will mention that Daisy is off looking for [[Power Moon]] locations.
*In ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]'', Daisy could be seen on a poster for ''Mario Strikers Charged''.

=Other Appearances=

==Video Games==

*Daisy has made several indirect appearances throughout the ''[[Portal: Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series until joining the playable cast in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. From Peach's first appearance as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' until ''Ultimate'', Peach had a color swap which matched the color of Daisy's hair and clothing, even including her flower brooch. Daisy's Crown (which includes her hair) was also made available as headgear for [[Mii|Mii Fighters]] in the 3DS/Wii U game and ''Ultimate''. In ''Ultimate'', she  could be unlocked as a playable fighter  and was designated as an Echo Fighter of Peach. Thus she was nearly identical to Peach in terms of gameplay, with only a few variations such as her Final Smash producing flowers instead of peaches and her using a blue [[Toad (species)|Toad]] instead of a red Toad.
**In ''Ultimate'', she was an unlockable character who could be unlocked through the game's variable-based system of unlocking characters or by awakening her in Adventure Mode (where she was found at the Dracula's Castle area). Daisy's personal Classic Mode route was called "Sarasaland Represent!" and pitted Daisy against other characters who were princesses.
**Throughout the series, Daisy has also appeared as a trophy in ''Melee'', a trophy (of Striker Daisy, from ''Super Mario Strikers'') and two stickers (from ''Super Mario Strikers'' and one with Peach from ''Mario Party 7'') in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'', a trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'', two more trophies (of her baseball outfit and of Baby Daisy) and a Smash Tour Item (in her baseball outfit, allowing a player to automatically catch thrown items) in the Wii U game and a Fighter [[Spirit]] in ''Ultimate''.
*In ''[[Yakuman DS]]'', Daisy appears as an opponent and unlockable character, being the Rank 10 opponent in Ranking Mode.
*Daisy has made playable appearances in the board game-themed crossover games ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'' and ''[[Fortune Street]]''.
*Daisy's dress is available as a costume for Bayonetta in the Wiii U versions of ''Bayonetta'' and ''Bayonetta 2''. This is a shortened version of her dress that is adorned with Luigi's dolls, similar to Peach's dress in the same games.
*Daisy is available as a playable skin in Nintendo releases of ''Minecraft'' as part of the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack.
*In ''[[Miitopia]]'', a Daisy costume can be unlocked by scanning her [[amiibo]].

==Other Media==

*In the ''Super Mario Bros.'' movie, the name 'Daisy' was used for the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, who acted as the female lead of the film. She was sent to Brooklyn while she was still in her egg (with the movie having the denizens of the kingdom descended from reptiles) and raised there as an ordinary girl, until she was kidnapped and brought to Dinohatten as part of Koopa's schemes. Daisy had a romantic subplot with Luigi and was played by Samantha Mathis.
*She appeared in several issues of the Nintendo Comics System that were based on ''Super Mario Land''.
*Daisy has made occasional appearances in the ''Super Mario-Kun'' manga.

=Trivia=

*She is named after the flower, which ties into Sarasaland being named after a type of floral pattern. She is also shown to have an affinity to flowers and sports flower-related accessories.
*It was Nintendo who suggested using Daisy for ''Mario Tennis'', as Camelot wanted more human-shaped characters for the sport, and Nintendo had vetoed Camelot's first suggestion of Wario-like counterpart for Peach.
*Her trophy in ''Melee'' is known for having several errors. The trophy has a third eye on the back of Daisy's head, behind her hair (seen by zooming in with the camera close enough), and her description erroneously says that her reappearance was in ''[[Mario Golf 64|Mario Golf]]'', which she did not appear in.
*In ''Mario Party 3'', she mentions her father and claims that she never lost a game against him.
