Daisy's personality shines through in her acting mini-game
As a gaming-loving little girl in the late 1990s, I was thrilled to see the addition of princesses to the roster of Nintendo 64 Mario titles. I've been playing Peach ever since the girl character, until Daisy came along with Mario Tennis in 2000. Suddenly there was a brunette tomboy that I could easily see myself in, and I let Peachy go without a second glance.
But who is Daisy? Googling “Princess Daisy” to double check that I had some Mario lore, one of the first page results was a Reddit thread asking, “Where is Princess Daisy from?” Introduced in Mario Tennis as another human character to balance out the non-human characters, in the Smash series as an alternate color for Peach until she became Shadow Fighter in Super Smash Bros Ultimate 2018, and only for Super Mario Bros. Wonder in 2023. stop arguing with the producer's daughter about who played the princess, always thinking of Daisy.

When Super Mario Bros. Wonder on October 10, it is the first game that Princess Daisy has been waiting for.
“Okay!” I agree: Daisy yells too much sometimes
Introduced in Super Mario Land in 1989 and running as a mostly unused bonus game, Daisy is easily the most popular of the Mario princesses. We've seen Peach as Mario's damsel in distress for decades, and she recently became the hero of her own story in Princess Peach: Showtime! Rosalina is the newest in the canon, entering the fold in star fashion in 2007's Super Mario Galaxy. Pauline was the original queen of the 1981 arcade cabinet game Donkey Kong. back on the platform and on the platform in Super Mario Odyssey 2017.
Nintendo doesn't always seem to know what to do with Daisy, however, as she's now 35 years old in the latest lore. So, if you only know her in 2024, you know Daisy for her distinctive voice. My friend and I have been playing Mario Party Superstars almost every week since we started dating two and a half years ago, and even though we've often had our characters and CPUs randomly play, he's almost never complained out loud if he's stuck. Daisy is in our mix. Both of us would totally spam Daisy with noise stickers during the game, and also tease her by constantly saying, “Woo! Okay! Let's go!” by echoing it in real life ourselves.
I think he was hoping when the Super Mario Party Jamboree came out that I would jump ship to Toadette. I played for him when we played Super Mario Bros. Wonder because I hate Daisy the Elephant, and I always screamed at her when she was selling stars in Mario Party Superstars, but even I wanted to be my little pink friend sometimes. , I hopped on Daisy's orange high heels before we pulled into Roll 'Em Raceway and the game began – quieter than we expected.
Of course, there are still options to raise it, especially for all Reactions (I especially like the “u-What!?'), but Daisy seems to have lost some weight this time. He's still got talent, though – each player has their own little musical twist when it's their turn, and his is an accordion tune.
Daisy's personality shines through in her acting mini-game
Daisy may not have her own board (still)but of the 22 characters in the Super Mario Jamboree Party roster, he is one of the ten that can be included in your game as a Jamboree Buddy. These are the latest upgrades to Allies, friends who shadow you for three turns and give you a unique bonus when they're plus one. The Daisy perk, which reduces the cost of all items on the board, is easily one of the most useful.
Not only does Jamboree Buddy's skills break, but because each Buddy gets by winning a unique mini-game that matches his character, you can enjoy the famous tomboy flavor of Daisy's Field. We are day. Daisy works through a variety of physical challenges, giving you four chances to collect cute medals with her signature flowers on them as you throw them across the board. Defeat your opponents in a series of stunts like jumping between poles that pop out of water, jumping across moving platforms, jumping over fences like a treadmill, and balancing. on a rotating cylindrical platform that can drop you into the water below.
Between softening the cheers and dabbling in popular sports, Daisy feels more like a real character at the Jamboree than just a list-maker like she used to be. He is still one of the most popular players, but at least the excitement of the game is only at seven or eight this time instead of jumping up to 11 as usual. With Super Mario Party Jamboree making Daisy more than just a two-way vocal player this time around, I'm hoping this soft update lays the groundwork for my daughter to earn her title. special honor on the next Switch.
