Trivia
- 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 4th female Mario representative after Peach, Rosalina and Wendy.
- As Peach's orange color in Melee changed her dress, skin tone, gloves, brooches, and crown to match Daisy's (at the time), Daisy is technically the second character to be playable after appearing as an alternate color, following Dark Pit's appearance in SSB4.
- It's worth noting that Peach's orange color was changed to a more simplistic recolor in both Brawl and SSB4.
