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+.
