Top 10 Reasons Why Princess Daisy is Better Than Princess Peach
Please consider my list thoughtfully. Princess Daisy, who is often underrated but incredibly important, is much better than the overrated and overly idealized Princess Peach. Here is why.
Princess Daisy may have a very annoying voice, but Princess Peach is by far the worst in any respect. She used to have a much better voice in Super Mario 64 (N64), Mario Kart 64, and Super Paper Mario, where Leslie Swan, the best voice actress for Princess Peach, voiced Princess Peach. But come on! Deanna Mustard ruined Princess Daisy's voice, but Princess Peach has such a miscast voice. When I first heard it in Mario Golf (for the N64), a classic N64 masterpiece, I got furious.
Guess what? Peach and Daisy are not best friends despite multiple promises! They are now arch-rivals whom they battle aggressively.
Sure, Daisy is hot, but don't bring Samus or Lara Croft into this! They're just as awesome as Daisy, but Daisy is bae.
Daisy is the strongest princess I've ever seen, while Peach is so weak and can't even protect herself. And yet, they still put Peach in Smash. That's just dumb. And tell me why there aren't any Black Mario humans.
Peach never helps! She just sits there and lets Bowser kidnap her! Daisy would punch him into space past Rosalina's observatory!
Peach does help Mario and saves him. After that, she gets kidnapped again. Daisy learns her lesson at least.
I feel like Daisy has more character and life than Peach. Plus, Peach is marketed everywhere, while Daisy is not as well-known. Peach has gotten so boring that I turned to Daisy and found the lively, energetic character I now love!
Peach is so bland and boring. I remember having her as my favorite character once, but after a while, I got fed up because she did not have a lot of character. Of course, I do not say this to my bestie, who is a passionate Peach fanatic. She's not the worst character, but compared to Daisy, Daisy has a much more fun attitude and smiles a lot more. Even in Island Tour, when she placed third, she didn't seem to mind too much. She was there to enjoy it. Peach, however, sighed. See the difference?
Orange can be liked by everyone, boy or girl. That's all that matters to me.
Orange is perfect for a tomboy like her, but pink is too girly for her.
I love blue. It's my favorite color. I like orange, but I tolerate pink.
That's true. I feel like a lot of video games construct terrible representations of women. I can't believe I ever liked the boring and overly emo Peach or the quiet, sad Rosalina in my life. In my opinion, the two are more like clones than Daisy ever was of Peach. In 3D World, the similarities only become more noticeable. Daisy is the only true tomboy. I know you will argue that Toadette is fun and Pauline too, but don't you see that Pauline wears makeup and Toadette is pink? Yes, Daisy likes flowers, but there's no reason why a tomboy can't like them. It's obvious with the other girls though.
Daisy is said to be a tomboy, of course. It's not that Daisy does what a boy actually does. It's that Daisy can be a bit sassy sometimes. Her voice in some games can be a bit boyish. Peach is already a girly girl, and Daisy is the tomboy. Some of you might think that Daisy is not really a tomboy, but I have seen some games that show that Daisy is a tomboy. Peach is too girly, and Daisy is the coolest princess in Mario. I love how Daisy is a princess who acts tomboyish and how she acts in some games.
Yup. I really don't see why the comments for many of these are so negative! All the Peach fans are so pissed off, I reckon.
But why would you even like such a slow, weak girl like Peach? She's terrible. She encourages women to be impossibly beautiful princesses who are swept away from peril by daring, loving men.
In Mario Strikers, she is by far the worst stat character - everyone says so on tier lists. Read them yourself, people! Her teammates just shake their heads when she tries to impress the cameras. She's only trying to cover up her lack of sports skills, and they know it.
Peach fans just say that she is strong because they don't want to admit that their least favorite princess is actually better than she is. You all say she's stronger because you've seen more of Peach in battle.
If Nintendo didn't hate on Daisy so much, you fans would be scratching your heads for a counterargument when you see her in battle.
Yes, all the way! Daisy is kind, sassy, and energetic, and shows girls all over the world that being a tomboy isn't a bad thing. Her confidence brims with positivity, and it's nice to have a female character who isn't girly or pink.
Again, Daisy is not a tomboy. She is just less girly than Peach. If you ask me, Peach is a better role model in the first two Paper Mario games by showing that you don't need amazing strength or athletic abilities to help people during hard times.
She teaches girls to be strong and to be themselves. Daisy isn't afraid to be herself, and other girls should be like her in that way.
Yeah, and I don't get why Luigi must always save Peach and waste time saving her. He can have Daisy.
Their relationship has been going strong since the Mario movie from the '90s.
The Newcomers
Hmmm... Maybe that's the reason she is stronger and more athletic than Peach.
Do I really need to explain this one?
Yeah, she did get captured once, but only once. Whenever Bowser comes near, she doesn't seem to have a problem. Peach, no matter how many times I try to see her as part of the playable roster, always reminds me of those damsel-in-distress days. Super Mario Run was in 2016. When I thought we'd been over the damsel-in-distress thing, Peach actually gets kidnapped in this era. Wow. Yes, Daisy has a predicament, but she only got lost. She didn't get snatched away.
Peach never helps! She just sits there and cries!
See, that's the reason why she's better than Peach. She can stand up for herself, and she is less bratty. The reason why Daisy is better is because she is stronger.
Ever heard of Super Princess Peach? Peach whacks Bowser at the end of the game.
It was a spin-off! And Peach had her own game and did it as well!
Princess Peach is blonde. What?! Princess Lemon Toadstool!
Princess Daisy has brown hair... wait, is it red? Oh, well, it's very fitting.
I like her hairstyle a lot! It's short and bouncy and a beautiful shade of red! Much better than Peach's crappy, Barbie-blonde, too-long hair.
Orange is my fave color, so Daisy is my fave too!
I have to agree with this one, though. I've always shipped the two because I can imagine a game where Daisy is a playable character in the Super Mario Bros. series and goes on adventures with Mario. They are both strong, confident, and short, and it just seems right.
Daisy and Mario are just alike. I mean, really, they're both strong and athletic.
Daisy and Mario would go on quests together!
Whilst Princess Peach loves pink and is very bad-tempered, Princess Daisy loves orange and yellow and can handle anything. I'm surprised Princess Daisy is not a power-type athlete but generally a skill-type or speed-type (which is quite predictable, actually).
And this is why Princess Daisy is much more beautiful than Princess Peach.
I like daisies too. So, of course, I like her colors.
I think it's really cool. That means Daisy has a hidden ability with her third eye. I hope Nintendo makes it canon.
In Melee, this was the best glitch ever. In SSBU, they should make a new attack for Daisy called Third Eye. What's that? Peach did not have this glitch.
That was super funny. My parents say, "We have eyes in the back of our heads." Next time I'll just say, "No, Princess Daisy does."
I just love lists.
- She lives in another kingdom. How would she know if Peach got kidnapped or that they needed her help?
- Nintendo decided to make Daisy nothing more than an extra princess. It's not her fault she hasn't got a major role in the series.
- She was only kidnapped once, and that was a very long time ago. She has learned her lesson, it seems, for now she never gets kidnapped anymore.
Yup. She has Luigi, but Luigi has never needed to save her. She did get help from Mario once, but only once. She's very skilled in games without needing assistance from someone else, and when she gets a partner, it only improves her performance. Hence, she can stand on her own.
They should make Toad a playable character so he will stop seeing some very inappropriate things.
Sooo true... Come to think of it... Poor Toad. Toad has seen some stuff, man!
Yep, got to agree. She may have a short temper, but Peach probably gets mad at Bowser for being kidnapped.
Peach is more of a brat than Daisy.
People often see negative connotations in a tomboy, but personally, I think it's great to be one! It means you aren't following the media and trying to impress guys by following impossible beauty standards. I used to be girly, but honestly, who really wants to be a sweet and polite princess who looks like she's old-fashioned and only gets saved for her looks?
She is the only princess who isn't all girly. Peach is the girly girl, and Daisy is the tomboy.
Peach just sits in Bowser's castle and waits for Mario to rescue her. Daisy would never let that happen.
She kicked Bowser into the sky, for goodness' sake! Peach would never dare to do anything like that.
Every reason on this list is perfect!
Peach is completely awful!
Daisy is cool with nice, short red hair, unlike Peach's Barbie hair!
