'''Baby Daisy''' is a minor character in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise created to be the infant counterpart of [[Princess Daisy]]. Her first appearance is in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as an unlockable playable character, whose debut is similar to that of [[Toadette]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. Baby Daisy made her next playable appearance in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', along with other baby characters such as [[Baby Mario]], [[Baby Luigi]], [[Baby Peach]] and [[Baby Donkey Kong]], and has since continued making playable appearances in certain spin-offs.

Baby Daisy makes her first game appearance in the ''Super Mario'' franchise as a lightweight unlockable character in ''Mario Kart Wii''. Like Baby Mario, Baby Luigi and Baby Peach, Baby Daisy is the infant counterpart of her adult persona, Princess Daisy. She is added to the game's roster by obtaining at least one Star Rank for all 50cc Wii Grand Prix Cups or playing 1,950 races. Baby Daisy shares the same small-sized [[kart]]s as the others, but in her own personal style. In the [[Daisy Circuit]] level, there is a large golden statue of Baby Daisy with Baby Luigi holding her in mid-air. She is the staff [[Ghost (Mario Kart series)|ghost]] character for [[Moo Moo Meadows]]. Baby Daisy is given a decent speed bonus, weight bonus, and mini-turbo bonus, which makes vehicles like the [[Bullet Bike]] move faster than normal, perform slightly stronger mini-turbos after a drift, and weigh slightly more than usual.

Baby Daisy makes a reappearance as a playable racer in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. Unlike in ''Mario Kart Wii'', she appears as a default character. She is a lightweight character, in the group of characters that have the highest acceleration, handling, and grip but with the lowest speed and weight, alongside the other baby characters and [[Lemmy Koopa]]. When she uses the [[Peach Parasol (glider)|Peach Parasol]] as a glider, it becomes orange like her adult counterpart. This game also introduces a new emblem for Baby Daisy, being a daisy inside orange bonnet frills (previously, Baby Daisy's emblem was the same as that of her adult counterpart).

Baby Daisy appears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as a Normal character. Her special item is the [[Bubble]]. In the closed beta test, however, her special item was the [[Triple Mushrooms]]. Baby Daisy and Baby Luigi are the only babies that do not have an alternate variant, and is the only princess baby with this distinction.

Baby Daisy makes an appearance in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' as an unlockable participant. When she is on the batting side for the team she participates in, her bat is a large baby rattle, like Baby Peach's. However, Baby Daisy's rattle is a deep yellow rather than pink, as each of the two babies' rattles corresponds to their signature colors. Since Baby Daisy is considered to be a Team Player, she has no specific special move, but can use star powers to improve the ability of her batting or pitching. Baby Daisy has good [[chemistry]] with Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Donkey Kong and [[Yoshi]]. Her special move is the same as Daisy's and Shy Guy's, the [[Super Dive]], and she also shares the same batting and pitching as them, left and right.

If Yoshi returns without her rattle, a separate conversation can be seen hinting where the rattle is and that Lakitu can't further translate her speaking. After Wario uses his magnet to retrieve the rattle, a delighted Baby Daisy explains that her rattle is her bat.

Like her adult counterpart, Baby Daisy has pale skin, blue eyes with two eyelashes, and orange hair styled after Daisy's, albeit much shorter. She wears a crown similar to Daisy's, but much larger, a yellow baby dress with two overlapping orange frills, light yellow baby bottoms, white tights, and a pair of deep orange dress shoes. Like [[Baby Peach]] and [[Baby Rosalina]], she has rosy cheeks and a round pacifier; following her color scheme, hers is yellow.

In ''Dr. Mario World'', Baby Daisy's outfit has the same color scheme as her counterpart Dr. Daisy, with a white dress, yellow bottoms and a pale yellow lab coat; even though she retains her brooch, while Dr. Daisy lacks it.

*Baby Daisy and [[Baby Rosalina]] are the only baby versions of characters introduced in a ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' game. They also both have gold pacifiers (except in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' where Baby Rosalina had a blue one instead), unlike Baby Peach's, which is pink.
