Daisy is one of the more powerful characters in the game, having a greater shot Distance than most other characters. Her shot height is also high, making it easy to recover from traps and shoot over obstacles. It does, however, make her shots more affected by the wind. She also has a good Spin, and above-average Impact. Without proper adjustments, however, she tends to slice the ball due to her below-average Control. If the player gets a Nice Shot, Daisy's ball soars through the air in a burst of flower petals. | Daisy is one of the more powerful characters in the game, having a greater shot Distance than most other characters.

Daisy makes her shot third after Peach and Mario make theirs, and they rally in impression after Luigi's recent shot hits the flagpole of the hole. Later in the scene, Daisy and the rest of the quartet are seen strolling around in the wilderness with Bowser's Castle in the distance. Daisy covers her eyes after an explosion is seen in the distance, mainly due to the part where Mario's recent shot caused Bowser to fumble a Bob-omb. | ||

Daisy is billed as a "Technique" type character. She serves as Luigi's tennis partner, and [[Birdo]] serves as hers. She rarely misses when playing close to the net, and she's the most powerful "Technique" character in the game. She is seen in [[Nina (Mario Tennis series)|Nina]]'s ending, awarding her the trophy with Peach. | ||
During the opening scene, Daisy is seen walking in line with the other characters, giving greeting signs. As the competition unfolds, Daisy is seen losing to [[Yoshi]]. Later, Daisy is seen standing next to Peach, and is caught off guard when Wario and Waluigi appear. As Mario and Luigi quarrel with Wario and Waluigi, Daisy begins to feel doubtful. When Bowser appears, the turmoil cools down, and Daisy shares a brief laughter with Peach before jumping for joy. | |||
Daisy's dress is similar to what she wore in ''NES Open Tournament Golf'', although this time, she wears orange sports shoes and white high socks. | |||
In the [[Game Boy Color]] [[Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)|version]] of the game, Daisy appears as a supporting character during the game's "Exhibition Mode". Once the player is invited to "Mario World", Daisy compliments them. Daisy is shown to be close friends with Peach in this version, standing at her side in the throne room of [[Peach's Castle|her castle]] and at the [[Castle Court]]. | In the [[Game Boy Color]] [[Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)|version]] of the game, Daisy appears as a supporting character during the game's "Exhibition Mode".

Daisy's [[Offensive Power Shot]] (named the [[Wonder Flower]]) disorients opponents and knocks them back if the shot is returned. The color of the petals also determines the type of shot used on the ball. Her [[Defensive Power Shot]] (named the [[Flowerbed Return]]) allows her to fly over a growing flower-bed to return any reachable shots. Like all Technique types, she has great control on the ball. She also has the best serve of a Technique character, as well as good power, speed, and lunge stats. Her reach is average, resulting in limited net-play. | Daisy's [[Offensive Power Shot]] (named the [[Wonder Flower]]) disorients opponents and knocks them back if the shot is returned.

Daisy appears in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', where she is a Balanced player. Like in the previous golf and tennis installments, she wears her two-piece athletic uniform in this game. Daisy appears in Challenge Mode as the vice captain on Peach's team. Daisy shares good chemistry with both Peach and Luigi, while she shares bad chemistry with [[Waluigi]] and [[Petey Piranha]]. Daisy's Star Pitch, the [[Flower Ball]], allows her to throw a gust of flower petals that hide the ball from the batter when Daisy is pitching. | Daisy appears in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', where she is a Balanced player.

As a Star Swing, the Flower Ball flies at a higher distance than normal and is masked by flower petals. In the game's Challenge Mode, Daisy is able to use this move once the player has purchased the [[Pretty Flowers]] power-up. Daisy's special talents are the Quick Throw and Sliding Catch. Her best stat is pitching with decent batting and average fielding, but her speed is only mediocre. | As a Star Swing, the Flower Ball flies at a higher distance than normal and is masked by flower petals.

Daisy is available from the start overall; however, like the majority of initially unlocked characters, she still has to be added to the roster in Challenge Mode. In this mode, she is on Peach's team (the [[Peach Monarchs]]). To unlock her, the player needs to repair the fountain in [[Peach Ice Garden]] and replace Daisy, who was transformed into a statue by Bowser Jr., with a normal Toad statue. When she returns to normal, she thanks the player and tells them that she was taking a stroll in the garden's outskirts when Bowser Jr. cast a spell on her and that she did not remember anything afterward. She then joins the team. | Daisy is available from the start overall; however, like the majority of initially unlocked characters, she still has to be added to the roster in Challenge Mode.

In a cinematic after defeating Bowser, Daisy is seen celebrating with the other characters before the crew marches toward the entrance of the Baseball Kingdom, looking towards the binary sunset, and the lights come on at night. In the last cinematic, Daisy unknowingly escorts Bowser and his son to the Daisy Cruiser, much to everyone else's disapproval.

She along with the other characters retreat to Mario Stadium to witness a show of Bob-omb Derby. | ||
In Exhibition Mode, Daisy is the Team Captain for the Daisy Flowers. The icon for this team includes Daisy's crown, along with a floral wreath used as the border around it. Finally, her [[Mario Super Sluggers cards|''Mario Super Sluggers'' baseball card]] lists her Rookie Year as 1990, but her debut appearance, ''Super Mario Land'', was released in 1989; 1990 instead refers to its PAL releases. This set of cards doesn't refer to her as a princess, even if she actually is one. | In Exhibition Mode, Daisy is the Team Captain for the Daisy Flowers.

Daisy will use her charms and tough temper to get what she wants.

She celebrates scoring by showboating; throwing herself on the ground as she pumps her arms, brushing her shoulders off, and making a sizzling sound as she presses a finger to her backside. She responds to opponents scoring by trying to conceal her injuries, and she crosses her arms and taps her foot disapprovingly at her teammates, who cower in response to her wrath. In ''Mario Tennis Aces'', she largely has the same personality traits as before, although she does show some lack of confidence after witnessing Lucien's possessing Wario, Waluigi, and Luigi, even believing they may not even be able to beat Lucien due to its powers. She also showed some common sense, as she immediately suspected Toad knew more than he let on about Lucien and demanded he tell the truth, and later became disappointed in Wario and Waluigi for even considering getting Lucien again after Mario beat Bowcien, especially after what happened to them earlier. | ||
In ''Fortune Street'', Daisy's personality is more heavily explored with the robust amount of dialogue among characters. She is shown to be impulsive and excitable, eager to take on big challenges and try new things; like scaling the [[Colossus]] and riding the flying train at the [[Observatory]]. She considers becoming a professional athlete when tasked to pick a new trade-in [[Alltrades Abbey]], and she repeatedly remarks on wanting to take home cute creatures like [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] and [[Slime]] to have as pets. Daisy is shown to be domineering and direct to others, teasing and bossing [[Luigi]] around when his shops are not large enough. She also talks down to enemies like [[Wario]], [[Waluigi]], and [[Bowser]], refusing to congratulate their success and criticizing their shops, believing they would commit foul play. The same game also shows she's not above pitching a fit or forcing others to pay up to allow her to get an expensive item at her request, based on some of her comments. She also implies that she has a bit of a ruthless side, as she makes clear that she's willing to "fight dirty" despite her status as a princess when warning others to not underestimate her. It is also hinted in her bio for ''Mario Party 3'' as well as her comments to Birdo that she is a bit vain regarding her appearance. | In ''Fortune Street'', Daisy's personality is more heavily explored with the robust amount of dialogue among characters.

In ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', she is a | Overall, Daisy is usually an all-around or technique character in sports games. In ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', she is a Balance type player who leans more towards Technique, and in ''Mario Power Tennis'', she is a purely Technical player. ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games'' was the first time Daisy was classified as a Speed player, but even then, her rounded technique still qualified her for a balanced range of event handicaps. Like other ''Mario'' characters, Daisy can [[punch]], [[kick]], [[jump]], [[Wall Jump|wall kick]], and [[Ground Pound|ground pound]], as well being able to [[Double Jump (airborne)|jump in midair]] in ''Super Mario Run''. She has also been occasionally shown to have a strong swing, having the longest non-star drive of any human player in ''Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour''. | ||

Daisy, like any known being of Mario, has an antagonistic relationship with Bowser. With a surprising amount of strength, she smacks the Koopa King into the sky in ''Mario Party 3'', and refers to him as a misfit in ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'' after he and [[Dr. Eggman]] are defeated in the Adventure Tours mode. She also has bad chemistry with Bowser in the ''Mario baseball'' series.

In the final cinematic of ''Mario Super Sluggers'', Daisy escorted Bowser and his son Bowser Jr. to the Daisy Cruiser during the night, unaware of Bowser Jr.'s history of transforming Daisy into a statue during the events in Challenge Mode. In ''Fortune Street'', Daisy sees no threat or significance in Bowser.<ref>"I bet Bowser seriously thinks this goofy castle is totally intimidating. As if!" - Daisy, in ''Fortune Street''</ref> If Bowser is about to win the game, Daisy says she refuses to congratulate Bowser "no matter how awesome he did". Bowser, likewise, denigrates Daisy's efforts, seeing her as lower than Peach in ''Fortune Street''. In ''Mario Tennis Aces'', she indicates that one of the biggest reasons she loathes Bowser is because of his willingness to cause conflicts or even worsen them just to settle his arch-rivalry with Mario, especially when Bowser tries empowering himself by stealing Lucien and the Power Stones while she, Peach, and Mario were dealing with the possessed Wario, Waluigi, and Luigi. After witnessing Lucien possess them, as well as learning its possible origin, she was shown to be very disturbed by the racket and was somewhat shaken even after its ultimate destruction. | ||
