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.

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. Daisy is classified as fighter #13ε.

Deanna Mustard's portrayals of Daisy in the Mario games were repurposed for Ultimate.

Differences from Peach

An icon used in notice templates. 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

  • Change As with all Echo Fighters, Daisy has different taunts and victory animations.
  • Change A few other animations, such as the entrance, and the defeated/No Contest animation are different.
  • Change Daisy has a different running animation similar to her running animation from Mario Party 10, though her initial dash animation appears to be unaltered.
  • Change Daisy only has three unique idle animations, compared to Peach's four.
  • Change Daisy has a more energetic idle stance, with her arms held up by her side.
  • Change Daisy uses a Blue Toad instead of using a Red Toad for her counter and throws.
  • Change Daisy has flower and petal effects for her attacks, including her dash attack and back aerial, instead of hearts.
  • Change Daisy has different, more cheerful facial expressions for many attacks and actions.
  • Change Daisy's Final Smash, Daisy Blossom, is similar to Peach's Final Smash, Peach Blossom, except that it summons edible daisies instead of peaches, and is themed around herself.
  • Change Daisy is visibly (but only slightly) shorter than Peach. Whether this has any impact on her hitboxes compared to Peach is currently unknown.

Role in World of Light

Daisy was absent in the World of Light trailer, though she presumably became a spirit alongside the rest of the galaxy (excluding Kirby) when Galeem unleashed its beams of light.

Trivia

  • As an Echo Fighter of Peach, Daisy utilizes several abilities that are otherwise exclusive to Peach in the Mario series, such as floating, the use of a frying pan, using a parasol (although Daisy has her own colored variant of the Peach Parasol glider in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8, which can be used by all characters in the game), summoning a Toad, picking up turnips from the floor (although this is an ability shared by all four playable characters in Super Mario Bros. 2, including Peach), and putting people to sleep.
  • Many of Daisy's animations and artwork reference the Mario series:
    • One of Daisy's victory animations is reminiscent to her victory animation from Mario Golf: World Tour, while another references her victory celebration in Mario Tennis Aces.
    • Daisy's running animation references the Mario Party (series), specifically her running animation from Mario Party 10 onward, as she had previously used Peach's running animation in earlier Mario Party games.
    • Daisy's pose in her official artwork resembles a piece of artwork from Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64, only mirrored.
    • Daisy's pose for one of her taunts matches promotional artwork of her first used for Mario Kart 7.
    • Daisy's pose in the group artwork for Ultimate is based on her back throw animation.
  • 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 first being Lucina in SSB4.
  • Daisy is one of only two newcomers and the only Echo Fighter introduced in Ultimate to not have splash art and an introduction tagline, the other being Inkling.
  • Daisy is the only Ultimate newcomer revealed during E3 to not be playable in the E3 demo.
  • Daisy is the only Echo Fighter to be featured on the full version of the box art.
  • Daisy and Dark Samus are the only Echo Fighters to be cloned from female characters.
  • Daisy was the first character to be shown on the new victory screen.
