TheMariogames usually revolve around the titular character, as well as Princess Peach, Bowser, and, perhaps, Luigi. But there is a litany of games under the Mario banner, and they can’t all be carried by those four characters. This is why the likes of Yoshi and Toad are important to the series, too.

The same can be said for Daisy. She is the Princess of another kingdom, who originally debuted in the 1989 game, Super Mario Land. However, she didn’t become playable until years later. Since then, several games have allowed you to play as her. This is all of them.

Mario Tennis Aces
2018
Daisy’s first-ever appearance as a playable character came in Mario Tennis for the Nintendo 64. Since then, she has been a regular in the series.
As the name of these titles suggests, they’re a series of tennis games that pit Mario characters against one another. Daisy typically serves as either a technique character or an all-around player.

Mario Party Superstars
2021
Mario Party is the series Daisy is most associated with since she features a bunch of those games. She missed out on the first two entries, but since Mario Party 3, she’s appeared in all the main instalments.
Each of these titles provides a board-game-like experience where you roll dice and move around a board. Usually, the goal is to earn more stars than everyone else. Characters are effectively your playing pieces.

Mario Golf: Super Rush
Mario characters tackle the sport of golf in the aptly titled Mario Golf series. It isn’t mini-golf either - they compete on large courses against one another. Daisy appears as a playable character in three of the games.
Typically, she is among the most powerful players - albeit not usuallythe overall best golfer. Not only can she hit further than most others, but she can also get the ball higher in the air.

She is typically a medium-weight character, meaning she has decent speed, acceleration, and strength. Some titles also include a baby version of Daisy, who is naturally lighter.
11Mario Superstar Baseball (2005) And Mario Super Sluggers (2008)
The Mario crew plays some baseball in both Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Super Sluggers. In both games, Daisy is particularly adept at pitching, but she’s better at fielding in Sluggers.
Her default team is the Peach Monarchs, which is named after the captain Princess Peach. Yet, when Daisy is selected as captain, the team name changes to something related to her. For example, in Sluggers, they’re called Daisy Flowers.
Mario Strikers: Battle League
2022
The Mario Strikers series sees the Mario characters play football, aka soccer. Daisy is a major part of these games as she serves as the captain for team nine.
In the first game, she serves as an offensive player, but in Mario Strikers Charged, she’s more defensive. For Mario Strikers: Battle League, she wasn’t initially part of the game, butshe has since been added.
9Mario Hoops 3-on-3 (2006)
The Mario gang hasn’t played as much basketball as they have football, golf, or tennis. But they take to the court in the Nintendo DS game Mario Hoops 3-on-3. As the title suggests, there are only three players on each team, and one of them can be Daisy.
She is considered a technical player, meaning she is talented at shooting but is not particularly quick or strong. Her special shot is called the Flower Shot.
8Itadaki Street DS (2007) And Fortune Street (2011)
The Japanese Itadaki Street games are very much like virtual versions of Monopoly. In them, you advance around the board depending on your dice roll. Along the way, you earn money and purchase properties. The goal is to achieve as much wealth as possible.
Itadaki Street DS and Fortune Street (a North American entry) feature characters from Mario and Dragon Quest, including Princess Daisy.
2009
Mario & Sonic At The Olympic Games Toyko 2020
These Mario And Sonic crossover games allow characters from either series to compete in various Olympic events. So, you can lead Daisy to gold in things like swimming, skating, and karate.
In each of the games, she is considered a speed character, which obviously means she’s fast.
6Mario Sports Mix (2010)
Instead of focusing on one sport, Mario Sports Mix contains several. It offers basketball, dodgeball, volleyball, and hockey. Daisy and the rest of the main Mario crew can participate in all four sports.
Like with several of the other Mario games, Daisy is a technical character. Therefore, her power and speed are average, but her technique is among the best. And if that’s not enough, she can use a flower bed to slow other players down.
