Her basic move set is the same as Peach's, but this princess has her own unique personality. She's known for being upbeat, energetic, and a bit of a tomboy.

Trivia

  • Despite utilizing one in her moveset, Daisy has almost no affiliation with Toads - blue or otherwise - in the Mario games. The only main exception is in Mario Super Sluggers, where a Toad guards her after being frozen by Bowser Jr.
  • Daisy is the only Ultimate newcomer revealed during E3 to not be playable in the demo.
  • One of Daisy's victory animations is reminiscent of her celebration animation from Mario Golf: World Tour.
  • Daisy's pose for one of her unique animations matches promotional artwork of her first used for Mario Kart 7. It is unclear whether this is a taunt or an idle.
  • Daisy was the second newcomer announced for Ultimate. This marks only the second time a new clone character for a Smash title had been announced before the game launched, with the last time being Lucina in SSB4.
  • Daisy is the first character to be cloned from a female, being Peach.
  • Daisy, along with Ridley, were absent when the panoramic artwork was shown in the Direct as they had not been revealed yet. On the actual art, Daisy appears behind Snake.
