Video game character

This article is about the video game character. For other uses, see Princess Daisy (disambiguation).

Fictional character

Princess Daisy
Mario character
Promotional art by Shigehisa Nakaue (2021)
First game	Super Mario Land (1989)
Voiced by	Deanna Mustard (2003–2022) Giselle Fernandez (2023–present) Others Melissa Beckford (Super Mario Compact Disco) Kate Fleming (Mario Tennis) Jen Taylor (2000–2003) Noriko Hidaka (Japanese DVD dub of Super Mario Bros film) Maya Okamoto (Japanese Nippon TV dub of Super Mario Bros Film)
Portrayed by	Samantha Mathis (film)

Princess Daisy (Japanese: デイジー姫, Hepburn: Deijī-hime, pronounced [deːʑiː çime]) is a princess character in the Mario franchise. She debuted in the 1989 Game Boy launch game Super Mario Land as the ruler of Sarasaland where she was given the role of damsel in distress for Mario to rescue. Daisy has been presented as Luigi's love interest, similarly to Princess Peach being the love interest of Mario. She appears in Mario Tennis and has been a staple playable character in Mario spin-off games, including Mario Party and Mario Kart. She also appears as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Daisy has been primarily voiced by American voice actress Deanna Mustard from 2003 to 2022, who was succeeded by Giselle Fernandez starting with Super Mario Bros. Wonder. She is portrayed by Samantha Mathis in the live-action Super Mario Bros. film.

Princess Daisy's similarities and differences from Princess Peach had been discussed by critics, and has been a popular character for inclusion in games such as Mario Strikers: Battle League, where her absence was disappointing to fans and critics. She was eventually included as downloadable content. Her inclusion in Super Mario Bros. Wonder was also considered important by GamesRadar+.

Concept and creation

Princess Daisy was created as a damsel in distress for Mario to rescue in Super Mario Land. It was produced as a launch title for the Game Boy handheld game console by Gunpei Yokoi in partnership with Satoru Okada without the input of Shigeru Miyamoto. With the aim to create a scaled-down game based on the gameplay of the 1985 Super Mario Bros., it moved away from the usual setting of the Mushroom Kingdom. The development team created Sarasaland, named after a type of floral design, and made Daisy to match that concept.

Daisy was added to Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64 due to the developer Camelot Software Planning wanting someone whose body shape was appropriate for real-life sports. Daisy's appearance in Super Mario Bros. Wonder came about due to the game's director, Shiro Mouri, noticing that his two daughters often fought over who got to play as Princess Peach, so he wanted to resolve that and also please Mario fans. In various Mario games, she has been voiced by a variety of different individuals, including Deanna Mustard from 2003 to 2022 and Giselle Fernandez since 2023.

Appearances

In video games

First appearing in 1989's Super Mario Land, Daisy is the princess of Sarasaland, a world outside of the series' usual setting of the Mushroom Kingdom, and is rescued by Mario from the alien Tatanga. In 1991, she had a smaller appearance in NES Open Tournament Golf as Luigi's caddie. In 2000, Daisy appeared as a playable character in Mario Tennis. Since then, Daisy is regularly a playable character in Mario sports games, usually wearing a sleeveless shirt and shorts in the colors of her princess gown.

In 2001, she was introduced as a playable character in the Mario Party series beginning with Mario Party 3. She is also playable in Mario Kart games, first appearing in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, where her course is known as Daisy Cruiser. Other playable appearances have included Super Mario Run, Fortune Street, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. She was added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a playable character, after previously appearing as a trophy. Her gameplay in Ultimate is largely identical to that of Princess Peach.

Daisy appears as a skin in multiple video games, including Super Mario Maker and Minecraft. Daisy's Amiibo figurine for the Super Mario franchise was released on November 4, 2016, to coincide with the release of Mario Party: Star Rush. Meanwhile, her Amiibo figurine related to the Super Smash Bros. franchise was released on February 13, 2019. Daisy was added to Dr. Mario World in a post-launch update in 2019. In 2022, she was also added as a post-launch downloadable character to Mario Strikers: Battle League.

In other media

Daisy is one of the main characters of 1993's Super Mario Bros. film, loosely based on the games, portrayed by Samantha Mathis. She is a student of archaeology at New York University with whom Luigi falls in love. Daisy is kidnapped by two henchmen of President Koopa, the dictator of Dinohattan, who wants to merge his world and the human world, necessitating Mario and Luigi to save her. Universal Studios Japan and Universal Studios Hollywood's immersive Super Nintendo World areas include interactive "Power-Up Bands" featuring a design based on her dress.

Reception

Daisy has received generally positive reception. Critics noted the similarities between Peach and Daisy, such as Destructoid writer Chad Concelmo and Siliconera writer Jenni Lada. Lada felt that Mario Tennis Aces successfully gave Daisy a distinctive personality, stating that while Peach was reserved and stylish, Daisy was more energetic. She felt that Daisy's characterisation was an improvement on Peach due to being more athletic and emotional.

Daisy's inclusion as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was highly anticipated by CJ Andriessen of Destructoid, who described her as the "best princess" and considered her to be one of the most requested characters for the Smash roster. Syfy writer Mason Brady considered Daisy's introduction in the Super Smash Bros. series disappointing due to being a near copy of Peach, describing it as a "blatant lack of originality".

When the base roster for Mario Strikers: Battle League was revealed, several fans expressed disappointment and anger that Daisy was excluded. Neal Ronaghan of Nintendo World Report felt that she was a beloved character in the Strikers series, bemoaning her absence. VentureBeat considered starting a Change.org petition for her to be included, commenting that she had stood out in Super Mario Strikers for her "sassy attitude" and celebration pose that involves turning her back to the camera. Ari Notis of Kotaku echoed fan excitement when she was added to the game in a DLC update and thought that her exclusion had been indicative of a wider problem with the game's limited content. Hope Bellingham writing for GamesRadar+ expressed excitement that Daisy was finally getting recognition from Nintendo by making her a playable character in Super Mario Bros. Wonder and noted that although it was not technically the first time she had been playable, it was a "momentous occasion" for fans.
