Daisy (デイジー, Daisy) is a playable 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 an Echo Fighter of Peach, playing very similarly to Peach, but with some different characteristics in her moves. Her main attire - including her dress and gloves, have been completely redesigned to complement Peach's, but with several design and tailoring differences. Her proportions have also been tweaked to be more realistic and in line with the rest of the human cast, with a smaller head, but taller figure.
Deanna Mustard reprises her role as Daisy from previous Mario games.
Differences from Peach

NOTE: SmashWiki is not speculative. Please refrain from adding detailed data values derived from pre-release gameplay footage, such as the E3 demo. Such data (damage values, launch trajectories, frame data, etc.) are subject to change before the official release. |
Aesthetics
As with all Echo Fighters Daisy has different taunts and victory animations.- Daisy's entrance is different as well, with a unique animation, and flower petals surrounding her instead of hearts.
- 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 for her counter and throws.
- Daisy has flower and petal effects for her attacks, including her dash attack, instead of hearts.
- Daisy has different, more cheerful facial expressions for certain attacks.
Attributes
- Daisy appears to be slightly shorter than Peach, as she is in most Mario series games. This seems to give her a smaller hurtbox while apparently slightly reducing her vertical range.
Aerial Attacks
Daisy's forward aerial is not a magic attack, and appears to have a much shorter range than Peach's similar attack.
Special Moves
Daisy's airborne variant of Peach Bomber is showcased to have a much quicker startup, equivalent to it's grounded counterpart.- Daisy's Toad does not stall her whilst airborne.
- This likely means that Daisy is unable to use Toad to counter offstage aerial attacks.
- Daisy pulls Vegetables out of the ground faster, in a manner almost comparable to that of Peach in Melee and Brawl.

Trivia
- Despite utilizing one in her moveset, Daisy has almost no affiliation with Toads - blue or otherwise - in the Mario games. The only exception is in Mario Super Sluggers, where a red Toad guards her after she was petrified 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 one of only two newcomers introduced in Ultimate to not have splash art, the other being Inkling.
- Daisy's pose in the group artwork for Ultimate is based upon Peach's back throw animation from SSB4.
- Daisy was the first character to be shown on the new victory screen.
