Daisy is a playable newcomer character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. She was revealed as a newcomer alongside Inkling and Ridley from Nintendo's 2018 E3 press conference, on June 12th, 2018. She is a Echo Fighter of Peach. Deanna Mustard reprises her role as Daisy from previous Mario games.
Differences from Peach
Aesthetics
- Daisy has different taunts and victory animations. Her intro is different as well.
- Daisy has a more energetic idle stance, with her arms held up by her side.
- Daisy uses a Blue Toad instead of a red one.
- Daisy has flower and petal effects for her attacks instead of hearts.
- During her neutral special, Daisy looks towards the Blue Toad attacking her opponent instead of closing her eyes.
- Daisy's right arm is bent during her parasol descent, whilst Peach's arm is straight and Daisy's mouth is closed whilst Peach's mouth is open.
- Daisy's forward air has a white trail instead of a gold one and Daisy smiles performing it while Peach is serious.
- While running, Daisy's mouth is open while Peach's is closed.
Attributes
- Daisy is slightly shorter than Peach, as she is in most Mario series games. This gives her a smaller hurtbox whilst her range is identical.
Special Moves
- Daisy's variant of Peach Bomber is faster in the air.

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 red 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 is also the only newcomer clone character to not even appear alongside another newcomer in their promotional illustration. Dark Pit and Lucina appeared alongside Palutena and Robin in their promotional illustrations, respectively.
- Daisy is one of only two newcomers introduced in Ultimate to not have splash art, the other being Inkling.
