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, thus being classified as fighter #13ε.
Deanna Mustard's portrayals of Daisy in the Mario games, mainly Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8, were repurposed for Ultimate.
How to unlock
Complete one of the following:
- Play VS. matches, with Daisy being the 28th character to be unlocked.
- Clear Classic Mode with Fox or anyone in his unlock tree, being the fifth character unlocked after Falco.
- Have Daisy join the player's party in World of Light.
With the exception of the third method, Daisy must then be defeated on Figure-8 Circuit.
Differences from Peach
As with certain other Echo Fighters, Daisy is functionally nearly identical to Peach, with her sole gameplay difference being slightly different animations that affect her size of her hurtbox. Alongside Richter, Daisy is arguably one of the most identical clones not only in Ultimate, but the entire Super Smash Bros. series as a whole, as she has no genuine gameplay differences beyond her hurtbox-altering animations and all of her other differences are purely aesthetic.
Aesthetics
As with all other Echo Fighters, Daisy has different taunts and victory animations.- Daisy has a more energetic idle stance, with her arms held up by her side. However, she reverts to Peach's idle animation when picking up light items.
- Daisy has a different running animation similar to her running animation from Mario Party 10, though her initial dash animation is identical.
- A few other animations, such as her entrance, are different.
- Daisy only has two unique idle animations, compared to Peach's four.
- Daisy uses a Blue Toad instead of using Toad for her counter and throws.
- Daisy has flower and petal effects for several of her attacks, including her dash attack, back aerial, up tilt, up smash and side special, instead of hearts.
- The tennis racket used in Daisy's forward smash has a different design, matching the one she uses in the Mario Tennis games.
- Daisy has different facial expressions, including winking, for many attacks.
- Daisy's Final Smash, Daisy Blossom, is functionally identical to Peach's Final Smash, Peach Blossom, except that it summons edible daisies instead of peaches, and is themed around herself.
Attributes
Daisy crouches slightly during her idle animation. This makes her harder to hit vertically.
However Daisy's idle having arms held up by her side expand her hurtbox making her easier to hit sideways.
- Daisy's hurtbox is wider when she runs and when she reverses her running animation.
- Daisy has a smaller hurtbox while floating, due to a slightly altered animation.
Classic Mode: Sarasaland Represent!
Daisy's opponents are princesses in their respective franchise.

Role in World of Light
Although Daisy does not appear in the World of Light opening cutscene, she was vaporized and later imprisoned alongside the rest of the fighters (sans Kirby) when Galeem unleashed his beams of light.
Daisy was one of the many fighters that fell under Dharkon's control upon Galeem's first defeat. She is found in the Dracula's Castle sub-area where she is guarded by a ghost; the nearby Dry Bowser spirit must be freed to access the cannon able to destroy the ghost.

Trivia
- As an Echo Fighter of Peach with an identical moveset, Daisy utilizes several abilities exclusive to Peach that she never uses in the Mario series, such as floating, the use of a frying pan, and putting people to sleep.
- Despite utilizing a Toad in her neutral special, grabs, and throws, Daisy has no affiliation with them in the Mario games. However, in Mario Strikers Charged, Daisy uses Blue Toad sidekicks, like in Ultimate.. Also, in Super Mario Run, if she defeats Bowser she rescues toad as a reward.
- Aside from a unique color scheme for the Peach Parasol glider in Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (which is shared with Baby Daisy in the latter two games), Daisy has never been shown using a parasol similar to Peach's.
- Many of Daisy's animations and artwork reference the Mario series:
- Daisy's victory animations reference her victory celebrations in Mario Golf: World Tour, Mario Tennis Aces, and Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games.
- Daisy's running animation references the Mario Party series, specifically Mario Party DS and 10.
- 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.
