### Powers and Abilities

After Mario rescued Daisy, she was capable of her powers and abilities. Daisy can perform different physical activities without tiring herself; this gives Daisy better chances of winning. However, Daisy cannot control herself after somebody brainwashes her. Despite these potential flaws, Daisy has supernatural powers that help her survive (i.e. resist falling from extreme heights, resisting hazards).

Daisy uses magic when she performs powerful moves. Daisy can summon flowers and daisies. In *Mario Power Tennis*, Daisy can perform the Flowerbed Return and Wonder Flower. When Daisy performs Flowerbed Return, she summons flowerbeds when she leaps. When Daisy performs Flower Power, white petals surround her racket and she hits the ball; whoever hits the ball is pushed away. Daisy can perform Bloom Blast in *Mario Tennis Aces*. Daisy walks on a trail of summoned daisy petals before hitting the ball. Daisy can summon flowers by performing the Flower Shot in *Mario Hoops 3-on-3*. When Daisy performs this move, flowers follow the ball's trail. Daisy uses the Flower Ball in *Mario Superstar Baseball* and *Mario Super Sluggers*. Her special ball summons scattered flowers; it confuses the opponents with the ball's location. In *Super Sluggers*, Daisy can perform the Flower Swing. When Daisy performs the move, a flower garden grows where the ball will land. In *Mario Sports Mix*, Daisy can perform a special shot: a fenced flower garden surrounds the opponents making the target easier to accurately hit. In *Mario Golf: World Tour*, Daisy victoriously summons flowers after she made an *Eagle* or *Birdie*. In *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*, Daisy's move set is like Peach's, but she summons daisies or flowers instead of hearts.

Daisy can summon rainbows. Only in *Super Smash Bros.* series, Daisy summoned two rainbows with her hands, inflicting damage to aerial opponents.

In *Super Smash Bros.* series, when Daisy is launched into the air, she lands hard to the ground. Daisy getting up or attacking while on floor, proving her extreme heights resistance. Despite Daisy touching hazards (i.e. lava, toxic river), she somewhat recovered from them. In Bomb Barge, Daisy is more likely to be pushed into the toxic rivers, but survive. When Bowser breathed fire on Daisy, she immediately reacted, saving her life.

Daisy can double jump in *Super Mario Run* and *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*. She can also temporarily float in the air.

Daisy can perform different physical activities in any condition. Daisy can play tennis, golf, soccer, baseball and perform in Olympic events. As a tennis player, Daisy rarely misses hitting the ball when playing near the net. Daisy possesses superior technique with her racket.

## Trivia

* Daisy is the first major Mario character to not be created by Shigeru Miyamoto.
* It has been known that Daisy has a tomboyish personality.
	+ This is shown by Daisy and Yoshi's tag team name in *Mario Party 8* being Tomboy Trouble.
	+ Most of her game descriptions or official websites refer her as a "tomboy".
	+ But Daisy is not a total tomboy, as she wears a dress and has flower earrings with no shame, and is quite fond of her looks.
* In *Mario is Missing!*, there is a woman that provides the help information who has a strong resemblance to Princess Daisy in terms of appearance. However, it is not confirmed as to whether this character is Daisy or not.
* Daisy was played by Samantha Matthis in the live-action movie *Super Mario Bros.*, only she was a blonde, dinosaur/human hybrid and the princess of an alternate dimension called Dinohattan.
* She was also in a series of comic books just titled "Gameboy Comics" which featured Tatanga escaping the Gameboy world and trying to take over the real world. In that, Daisy was his captive but didn't exactly show restraint. Instead of complaining of being a prisoner, she instead spent most of the issues just trying to politely talk Tatanga out of his conquest, since he was in love with her so she thought she could persuade him.
* Daisy is the only *Mario Kart: Double Dash!!* newcomer to appear as a playable character in every subsequent *Mario Kart* title. Only she and Waluigi appeared in *Mario Kart DS*, while Waluigi was absent in *Mario Kart 7*, (though he was supposed to be in the game as a playable character).
* Along with Waluigi, Daisy appears in every *Mario Party* game since *Mario Party 3* as a playable character except *Mario Party Advance*.
* Daisy never physically appeared in the Game Boy Advance title.
* Daisy was revived because some game developers have made an evil version of Peach named *WaluPeachie*, but Miyamoto rejected this idea.
* In *Super Smash Bros. Melee*, one of Peach's alternate costumes is based on Daisy's outfit and it even changes her appearance to closely resemble Daisy, while in *Super Smash Bros. Brawl* and *Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U*, it only became a recoloring of her appearance.
	+ Peach no longer has the Daisy alternate costume after Daisy appears as a fighter in *Ultimate*.
* In *Luigi's Mansion*, a picture of Daisy's model from *Mario Tennis* can be seen in a file, it was speculated that she was going to be the damsel in distress of the game because of this, but the plan got rejected and Mario has to get rescued instead.
