''.]] Princess Daisy ( character who first appeared in '' Super Mario Land '' as the princess of Sarasaland. In that game she is captured by Tatanga and later rescued by Mario . HISTORY Games '' (GB).]] For a long period, Princess Daisy was considered one of the most obscure characters of the Mario franchise. Her debut, '' Super Mario Land '', was a game which featured a large cast of new characters that failed to catch on and have since been largely forgotten. After her debut on the Game Boy , Daisy did not appear in another Mario game for over ten years, with the exception of her role as Luigi 's caddy in '' NES Open Tournament Golf ''. In the SNES version of "Mario is Missing," the female behind the help desks looks very similar to Daisy as well. She was eventually brought back for the Nintendo 64 's '' Mario Tennis ''. She quickly became a regular character in the '' Mario Party '' series and the Mario sports titles, often appearing as a partner for Luigi or Peach . Although she has not appeared in a platform game since ''Super Mario Land'' or any of the Mario RPGs, she is now a standard character in the and '' Mario Party '' games, and has earned a place as a member of Mario's all-star crowd. She made her debut in the '''' as a partner to Princess Peach. She has also appeared in the recent '' Mario Kart DS '' as an unlockable player. Like Peach, Daisy is a lightweight character (in ''Mario Kart DS'' at least) that has good acceleration and handling, but a low top speed. In '' Mario Tennis '' for Nintendo 64 , she was voiced by Kate Flemming . Although Daisy is supposedly less girly than Peach, Daisy usually sounds very chipper and speaks in more contemporary-sounding slang than Peach does. Daisy's voice has been supplied by actress Deanna Mustard since '' Mario Party 3 ''. ''Super Mario Bros.'' movie This character is often wrongly applied to Princess Peach , in part because the '' Super Mario Bros. '' movie refers to the main princess-in-peril as "Princess Daisy" — not "Princess Toadstool", as Peach was then known in North America. Still, the movie also makes its Princess Daisy a love interest for Luigi, not Mario, but this is likely only because John Leguizamo 's younger, more open-minded character fit much better into the romance story, as opposed to Bob Hoskins ' more cynical, world-weary Mario. In the film, Daisy was portrayed by Samantha Mathis . Here, she has a piece of the meteorite that banished the dinosaurs to another dimension, and which King Koopa , played by Dennis Hopper , needs in order to conquer the humans' dimension. After Luigi becomes infatuated with her, Daisy is kidnapped by King Koopa's cousins, Iggy and Spike, and taken to Dinohattan. There, she learns that her father, the true king of Dinohattan, was turned into a fungus after being put in Bowser's de-evolutionary machine. Eventually, after the Mario Bros. defeat Koopa, Daisy stays behind in Dinohattan to help her now-restored father. The movie ends with Daisy showing up at Mario and Luigi's apartment to alert them that there's another problem going on, apparently setting up an eventual sequel, which never came. Other appearances
APPEARANCE '']] In most of the games, this princess can be distinguished from Peach by the color of her hair: Daisy has dress, while Peach's dress is Pink . Initially, in ''Super Mario Land'', Daisy looked exactly like Peach, but in a yellow dress and with Flower -shaped Earrings . Since then, however, Nintendo has slowly changed Daisy's appearance. In ''Mario Tennis'', her skin was more tanned, with a thinner face, but starting with '' Mario Party 4 '', her skin is pale as opposed to tan, has shorter hair, more plump cheeks, and a rounded pot belly (in some games such as Toadstool Tour). The look has remained in subsequent games. RELATIONSHIPS Despite Daisy's resemblance to Peach, Nintendo has never officially stated if the two are related. The bio for Daisy's trophy in '' Super Smash Bros. Melee '' states that Daisy is the tomboyish counterpart of Peach and that gossips suspect her of being Luigi's girlfriend. In '' Mario Party 6 '', if the player puts Daisy and Luigi on a team, the team will be called "Steady Sweeties." Also, in her tournament victory FMV in ''Mario Power Tennis'', she addresses Luigi as "sweetie". TRIVIA
