  • Princess Daisy is a character with a lot of wasted potential in the Super Mario series. Where did she come from and why is she so underutilized? Let's take a look into her origins and find out where Princess Daisy is the ruler of and other parts of her backstory that aren't discussed as much. On this episode of Origin Oracle, we'll travel to the Empire of Sarasaland and also look at where Daisy became a tomboy?

    Daisy needs her own game where she travels the world dragging a reluctant Luigi behind her. The villain is Waluigi, who is so distracted by his happiness at being a main villain that he forgets to be a villain sometimes.
    It could be Nintendo's take on Uncharted-style action platforming.

    Daisy is one of those characters where the fanbase is responsible for most of their popularity.
    Nintendo underutilized her several times, only putting her in spin off titles. Sarasaland is her kingdom (Empire, technically), yet we know very little about it. Perhaps, in time, Nintendo or some brave yet based soul will make a Sarasaland game.

    While I can believe that Japanese preferences can be a factor in the poll results, I think that it's more likely that Daisy not being as liked as other characters might be due to the fact that she just isn't in front of people that often. Put her in other games than just sports and party titles. Make her a more prevalent character who is as essential as anyone else for 5-10 years and let's do the poll again.

    I think that Nintendo really misses out on opportunities to be creative with their properties. They’re phenomenal at coming up with new ideas, they crank em out left and right, but they usually don’t elaborate on what they make. They flesh them out for the purposes of a game or two, but so many elements of Nintendo games, in their vast array of series, show up once and are never seen again. When they DO repeat concepts, though, a lot of times they miss the point. They made like six NSMB games and didn’t really do anything terribly different in any of them except add new powerups. The amount of fanart that has been made depicting their characters and the worlds they inhabit going through new and creatively exciting things is limitless, but they never seem to want to capitalize on the ability they have to do it themselves. So yeah, I do think they should bring back Daisy. Make Sarasaland a location in SMO2, or make it the setting of a whole new game.

    According to an article I read on ShackNews, apparently Miyamoto rejected the idea of a Wa- counterpart for Peach because he thought she would be too much like Doronjo from Yatterman (A Tatsunoko anime series. You may recognize her amongst other characters from Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom.), despite Takahashi asserting that the concept that had for WaluPeachie was nothing like Doronjo. Ultimately, they decided against trying to convince Miyamoto any further, and went with Daisy.
    But here's the interesting thing: In a way, Peach already has a Wa- counterpart in Captain Syrup of the Wario Land series. Sure, she is not at all Wario's girlfriend, she's his archnemesis...but she's already more of an evil counterpart to Peach as Wario is to Mario. Plus, much like Daisy, Syrup was another character from the Super Mario Land series, but unlike Daisy, she had a more prominent role in the series as the main antagonist of Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land and Wario Land 2. You'd think she would be a good fit, but I guess Camelot didn't think of her before they went with Daisy. Oh well.

It kind of makes sense that she'd only show up to recreational events for sport and royal get-togethers if she's too busy being a girl boss in her regular life.

    She's basically the "redheaded stepchild" of the Nintendo ladies. (maybe literally if you consider orange/auburn as red hair.) Miyamoto has had some involvement in the concept and creation of Peach, Rosalina, and Pauline. But not Daisy, which could be why she isn't valued as much by Nintendo. Not to mention up until Smash Ultimate, most people only see her as an annoying "ghetto discount Peach."
    Nintendo's underuse and mistreatment of her is almost laughable if it wasn't so perplexing. Like for example: in the first Mario Strikers intro, she only appears to be instantly tripped by Peach. In Strikers Charged intro, we only see her back as she's then Banana Slamma'd by DK and blown away. And in Battle League's intro, she........oh wait. You see what I mean?
    If she never gets a mainline appearance, or star in her own game instead of remaining as a spin-off jobber, I won't lose sleep over it, as I think she serves her role with what little she's given. But still... you can't help but wonder if there's any chance her ignored potential will ever be fully utilized. Only time will tell.

    It took him years, but he got his "evil Peach" eventually.
    Granted, the demonic Queen of Darkness Peach isn't ugly and Warupeachi likely would have been.
    9:48 Wait, Daisy's Voice Actress is called Deanna Mustard? A person called _Mustard_ lends her voice to a character known for wearing predominantly _yellow_ clothes? Some "Nomen est Omen" is afoot here.
    12:53 Why Peach disguises as the robot is explained. She wanted to send the robot along with Mario to ensure both his safety and that there won't be any "romantic involvements" between Mario and Daisy. The robot wasn't ready for such an advanced mission yet though so she disguised herself as a robot. I honestly think that's solely for Mario to have someone to talk to. There is something very similar in the The Legend of Zelda Manga in which Link got a talking bird companion.
    13:09 I don't know where you can find traditionally translated versions of the Mangas, but gtv Japan has whole english retellings of several old Japan-only game-related Manga and Mario Land and sequel are among them.

    Regarding Daisy's presence in the '90s Super Mario Bros. movie, I get the impression a lot of younger (well, younger than me, at any rate) don't really understand that Peach simply wasn't known as Peach in English-speaking territories until well after the movie was released. She may have been namedropped in an obscure later SNES game (Yoshi's Safari, I think...?), but the first widely played Mario game to actually use the name "Peach" was Super Mario 64 (which I've always assumed was the reason the intro letter in that game is conspicuously signed "Princess Toadstool... Peach," as a way to ease American gamers into her Japanese name). Before that, she was universally referred to as either "Princess Toadstool" or simply "Princess" in all the games and spin-off media. Even if you were deeply invested in Mario lore, such as it was at the time, you didn't know who the heck "Peach" was unless you were reading Japanese and importing games from Asia.
    Which, of course, meant that the only princess character from the Mario franchise who actually had a proper name at the time the movie came out was Daisy. I very much doubt the screenwriters for the Mario movie were making a conscious decision to select Daisy instead of Peach (I mean, neither of them were anything more than interchangeable damsels in distress at that point based on the games and the unavailable-in-the-west manga): they just wanted the character to have a name and not just a title, and "Daisy" was the only choice that American gamers might have plausibly recognized.
    As a side note, I find it interesting that around the same time Nintendo of America standardized Princess Toadstool's name to the Japanese "Peach," they also pretty decisively switched from using "King Koopa" to "Bowser." It's a bit of a different situation, since "Bowser" had already been used in the Western localization (it had been invented there, even, in the manual for the original Super Mario Bros.), but it was far more common to hear "King Koopa" in things like the cartoons and the movie before that. And "Koopa" is closer to the name he's always had in Japanese. So they made it so that Peach had the same name in Japan and the US, while at the same time they made Bowser/Koopa have different names in the two regions. Go figure.

In other words, for the 1990s, Daisy suffered an identity crisis because many people got deceived by Daisy looking too similar to Peach in her earlier video game appearances.

    I think it's also worth noting that Daisy, since she was from a desert, was depicted with darker skin but was slowly whitewashed as the games went on but now she's slowly tanning up again. I think that's both funny and interesting.
    EDIT: It's true, she was depicted to be just as pale as peach in her first artwork. But I do think it is interesting that they made her skin tan in the N64 era of games and are tanning her back up again. This might just be a part of Daisy character where she's tan some of the times lol.

    • @cheddershredder

      Not really. In her original key art and in that earlier mario golf, she was as pale as Peach. In some following games I'm pretty sure she was only ever as tan as Mario and Luigi (tan relative to Peach, but not actually dark). In recent years they've been pretty inconsistent with her colouring but I'm pretty sure she's still never been darker than the mario bros.

    From anesthetic view, I'm really surprised that going based on the sprite work of Daisy in Super Mario Land, why they didn't give her a circlet style tiara instead of a crown. We don't see her wearing the crown and Super Mario Land but we know she's royalty, so it just would have made more sense and it would have further differentiated her model from Princess Peach, because sometimes they just look too damn similar with a simple palette swap for the hair and clothes

    If Nintendo wants to implement an anti-Peach they could utilize Captain Syrup. Peach is a kindhearted ruler while Captain Syrup is a ruthless pirate who uses her feminine wiles to rob men blind or her wit to outsmart Wario who is equally as greedy as her.

  • @jhmcd2
    @jhmcd2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    I think she should be in more content, and I am actually surprised she isn't considering the hyper active girl is a major trope in Japanese media. And while I know this is mainly an American trend, but it has been catching on in Japan, the more independent girl type has been exploding in popularity and Mario has one but doesn't use her that often. In fact that's probably why she has be surging in the spin off games. But I know why to, and its the same reason why Waluigi isn't. The guy who created Mario who heads up all the games has stated in the past that he doesn't want any characters which he didn't create in any of his games. As far as he is concerned she is a non-cannon character. That's probably also why elements from her game were scrapped for Odyssey. As far as whatever his name is (I know you say it, I am just lazy) its all non-cannon, which is odd how he has so much power and is so defensive. Even Akira Toriyama has incorporated elements of non-cannon DBZ stories into his cannon and he has far more creative control over than series than Mr. Mario (my new name for him) has over Mario. Nintendo can always overrule him at any point. They just don't. But my guess is, should he retire, or pass away, expect Daisy in a future installment.

    4:20 (lol) Being Portuguese myself, this is fascinating to hear ! I've only seen a single person mentioning Sarasa Land's Portuguese influence in its name, but they didn't really explain what that was all about. It's weird because the sarasa textile really isn't a part of our culture anymore - I can't find a single Porutguese source even mentioning it (which isn't helped by the fact that our online footprint is extremely small). It's cool because the way Daisy herself is portrayed in the 3D renders for the early 2000s N64 spin-offs, with her darker hair and skin, makes her plausibly look Portuguese. Thank you for the explanation !

      @@TheMentok You'd honestly be correct ! I myself know a few Japanese people in my Uni course, and they kind of confirmed this. There's a lot of Portuguese influence around the world, since we ourselves started the age of colonization - fortunately, however, we still had a lot of peaceful cultural exchanges (usually when we figured a region was far too powerful to exploit, destroy, and enslave). In Japan, for example, you'll find Portuguese custard tarts are a still a famous pastry (and in China too) - and, my favorite example, the word "arigatō", meaning "thank you", directly came from the Portuguese "obrigado" ("a-ri-ga-tō" / "o-bri-ga-do").

    A minor thing to note is how her skin tone seemed to vary earlier on (And I prefer her with dark skin, as many do)
    But yeah, she's been snubbed big time. Super Princess Peach was cool, but a game like that
    with Daisy would be a nice contrast. Also, the LINE thing didn't surprise at all. Japan is all about
