==Concept and creation==

However, later games mention that she now resides in the Mushroom Kingdom,<ref>{{cite video game|title=]|developer=Hudson Soft|publisher=Nintendo|quote= "Peach missed female companionship until this girl with the orange hair moved into the Mushroom Kingdom."}}</ref> and Sarasaland is only hinted in Daisy's quotes and biographies for subsequent games. Her early design looked more similar to ], except with orange-brown, ] hair instead of yellow hair, a yellow dress with short puffy sleeves, white frills, orange high heels, a daisy-shaped brooch, crown and earrings, and wrist-length white evening gloves. In 2000's ''Mario Tennis'', she appeared in game artwork with long hair like Pauline, and retained her flower brooch and earrings. She also had a slightly darker skin tone. This design endured until ]'s '']'', in which she was given her current design which distinguished Daisy further from Peach by depicting her with different physical traits, such as a flip hairstyle and light skin, yet with her dress design and crown color being more consistent with Peach's. In her first appearance, Daisy was described as a ],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/dmg/mla/chara/index.html|title=Characters|publisher=Nintendo Japan|accessdate=September 25, 2016}}</ref> a trait which has maintained throughout the games, with Daisy being depicted as a more cheerful and boastful character than Peach. In ], she wears more athletic outfits instead of her usual dress, her color scheme normally being yellow and orange. Her special abilities are often based around flowers, with the ] being her namesake.

==Appearances==
===In video games===
{{As of|2018}}, Daisy has appeared in 73 games, in most of which she is a playable character. Her first appearance in the ''Mario'' series is in '']'', released in ] for the ]. Daisy is the princess of Sarasaland, a world outside of the series' usual setting of the Mushroom Kingdom, who is kidnapped by the tyrannical ], Tatanga,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://au.stars.ign.com/objects/963/963167.html|title=Princess Daisy|publisher=IGN|author=Stars|accessdate=25 September 2016}}</ref> who intends to marry her in order to gain control of her realm. ] must traverse the four kingdoms of Sarasaland in order to track down Tatanga and rescue Daisy. She next made a small appearance in '']'' in ] as ]'s ]. She did not appear in another game for nine years until 2000's '']'' by ] on the ], in order to introduce more human characters into the game.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.camelot.co.jp/gimon/gimon13.html|title=Mario Tennis Website|publisher=Nintendo|accessdate=25 September 2016}}</ref> Daisy is regularly a ] in the ''Mario'' ]. She appears in all of the '']'' series since '']'' except '']'', and all of the '']'' games since '']'' except for the first two installments of the '']'' series, and all five games in '']''. She also appears in the ] game '']''. On September 29, 2017, Daisy was added to the list of playable characters in '']''.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/23/16354232/nintendo-super-mario-run-update-daisy-new-mode-world-gaming-ios-android|title=Nintendo is updating Super Mario Run with a new character, mode, and world|work=The Verge|access-date=2017-12-04}}</ref>

Outside of the ''Mario'' game series, Princess Daisy was included as a skin in the '']'' Super Mario Mashup Pack, released on May 16, 2016.<ref>{{Citation|last=GameXplain|title=All 40 Mario Skins in Minecraft Wii U Edition (Koopalings, Rosalina, Daisy, Toadette, etc)|date=2016-05-18|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhRP7jbWDOM|accessdate=2016-06-10}}</ref> Additionally, Daisy has been alluded in various games. For example, in every '']'' title released since '']'', in addition to Daisy's appearance as trophies, one of Peach's reoccurring alternate skins represents Daisy's color scheme. She has a third eye in the back of her head of her trophy in earlier versions, which was later removed in the later copies. In ''Melee'', there is an error in her trophy description. It says she appeared in '']'' for the ] and ], although she actually appeared in ''Mario Tennis'' for the same consoles. She appears in '']'' as another trophy with her attire from '']''. She appears in two stickers: one with her in '']'', and one with her and ] in '']''. Again, her description has an error. It says her iconic dress color is yellow and white, but now she wears an iconic yellow and orange dress. She reappears in '']'' as both a palette for Peach and an unlockable trophy with Daisy in her tennis attire. In '']'', she appears not in one trophy, but three trophies, one with her in her dress, one with her in her baseball attire, and her baby counterpart. Her Peach palette appears in a picture in Peach’s clear movie for beating Classic Mode as Peach. She is a newcomer in '']'', as ]'s echo fighter. In the ] and ] versions of '']'' and '']'', one of ]'s Nintendo outfits is based on Daisy's dress design.

Daisy's ] was released on November 4, 2016 to coincide with the release of '']''.

===In other media===
Daisy was one of the main characters of ]'s '']'' film, loosely based on the games, in which she was portrayed by ]. In the film, Daisy is a student of archaeology at ] whom Luigi falls in love with. While digging for dinosaur bones under the ], Daisy is kidnapped by two henchmen of ], the dictator of an alternate world in which dinosaurs rule, of which Daisy is actually the princess. Luigi and Mario give chase in order to rescue her. Daisy also appeared once again as the prisoner of Tatanga in some episodes of the '']''.

==Reception==
Initially, Princess Daisy drew little comment. In her early appearances, she was so similar to Princess Peach that some journalists even assumed that "Princess Daisy" was simply a new ] of "Princess Peach" rather than a new character.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Super Mario RPG|journal=]|issue=12 |date=December 1995|pages=139–140|quote=Princess Peach (or Daisy as she was renamed in the West) ...}}</ref>

] listed Daisy at number eight in a top-ten list of ''Mario'' characters who deserve their own game.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/galleries/top-10-nintendo-characters-that-deserve-their-own-games/?page=2 |title=Top 10 Nintendo Characters That Deserve Their Own Games |publisher=GameDaily (via Internet Archive Wayback Machine) |accessdate=25 September 2016|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081019010116/http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/galleries/top-10-nintendo-characters-that-deserve-their-own-games/?page=2 |archivedate=October 19, 2008 }}</ref> GamerVision's "Coop" wrote an article entitled "Top Ten Reasons Daisy is Better Than Peach", giving reasons ranging from her having a "less-annoying voice" and having a "better attitude", to Daisy being a better ruler due to the fact that Sarasaland has only been invaded once, whilst Peach's ] is always being invaded.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gamervision.com/users/coop/articles/top_ten_reasons_daisy_is_better_than_peach|title=Top Ten Reasons Daisy is Better than Peach|author=Coop|publisher=GamerVision|accessdate=25 September 2016 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100407072950/http://www.gamervision.com/users/coop/articles/top_ten_reasons_daisy_is_better_than_peach |archivedate=7 April 2010 }}</ref> ]'s ''Gamer's Red Carpet'' called "her choice of a brave yellow and orange combo dress... as flattering as it is retro", and that her dress and accessories "work much better than Peach's", grading her a B+ overall.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.destructoid.com/the-gamer-s-red-carpet-super-mario-bros--171677.phtml|publisher=]|title=The Gamer's Red Carpet: Super Mario Bros.|first=Chad|last=Concelmo|accessdate=July 31, 2013|date=May 13, 2010}}</ref>

In 2010, Audrey Drake at ] listed Daisy as a potential ] for Mario, commenting that being his "]'s gal" made her a sort of "forbidden fruit", and that he had saved her during the events of ''Super Mario Land''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/121/1218684p1.html?RSSwhen2012-02-14_134200&RSSid=1218684|title=Who Should Be Mario's Valentine?|first=Audrey|last=Drake|publisher=IGN|accessdate=25 September 2016}}</ref> ]'s Henry Gilbert wrote that it became increasingly evident that Luigi also needs "his own princess" and Princess Daisy is the character he is closest to.<ref name=luigilife>{{cite web|url=http://www.gamesradar.com/life-shadows-luigi-biography/?page=3|title=Page 3 – Luigi: A life in the shadows|publisher=GamesRadar|first=Henry|last=Gilbert|accessdate=25 September 2016 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304071025/http://www.gamesradar.com/life-shadows-luigi-biography/?page=3 |archivedate=4 March 2016 }}</ref> The pairing of Daisy and Luigi was included in ]'s "Best EVER: Love Stories" video. She was also featured on Susanna Sheath's top 10 Mario characters as her number two choice.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.screwattack.com/shows/originals/best-ever/best-ever-love-story|title=The Best EVER: Love Story|publisher=Screw Attack|accessdate=25 September 2016 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120215105601/http://www.screwattack.com/shows/originals/best-ever/best-ever-love-story |archivedate=15 February 2012 }}</ref>

IGN reviewed Daisy negatively, giving her a 4 out of 10, whereas Princess Peach got an 8, ] a 7 and ] an 8, but said that the "spark between Daisy and ] still burns bright."<ref name=comparison>{{cite web|url=http://au.stars.ign.com/articles/834/834987p2.html|title=Mario's Ladies: The Princesses of Mario Galaxy|publisher=IGN|first=Phil|last=Pirrello|accessdate=25 September 2016}}</ref> ] of '']'' ranked Daisy number one on their list of top five annoying princesses in video games, stating she didn't really have a good reason why.<ref>{{cite web|author=Lisa Foiles |url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/top-5-with-lisa-foiles/9065-Top-5-Annoying-Princesses |title=Top 5 Annoying Princesses &#124; The Escapist |publisher=Escapistmagazine.com |accessdate=2014-06-19}}</ref> Daisy's infant counterpart, Baby Daisy, was listed by ] as one of the worst '']'' characters.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.1up.com/reviews/mario-kart-wii|publisher=1up.com|title=Mario Kart Wii Review|first=Shane|last=Bettenhausen|accessdate=25 September 2016|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20161104175314/http://www.1up.com/reviews/mario-kart-wii|archivedate=4 November 2016}}</ref>
