Daisy's attributes has been modified to resemble Peach back in Melee. Thus, she is considered much stronger than her. She also regains the Beam Sword.
Despite being an Echo Fighter, Daisy does not retain Peach's Vibe Select or Perry. Instead, she automtically has the Rage vibe that plays identically to Kazuya's, replacing her flower effects with fire. As such, most of her moves deals fire damage. This is a reference to her role as the princess of Sarasaland in Super Mario Land, as the kingdom was inspired by Ancient Egypt.

Name
Description
Damage
Standard attack
Slaps the enemy twice with her leading arm: the first being an inward forehand slap, and the second being an outward backhand slap. It is similar to Peach's Super Slap attack in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
Extends her arm upward, creating a discharge of orange magic in the form of a heart. May be based on Peach's initial appearance in Melee's intro cutscene.
12% (blast), 10% (arm)
Down tilt
A low sweep kick.
12%
Dash attack
Creating magical sparks in her hands, Daisy strikes with both arms extended forward, then quickly spreads her arms out.
12% (clean), 8% (late)
Forward smash
Strikes with a bludgeon, depending on the angle of the attack: angling it upward uses a frying pan like Peach used in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, angling it downward uses the tennis racket from the Mario Tennis games, and no angling uses the golf club from the Mario Golf games. Each weapon has different properties—the frying pan has more vertical knockback (and the most damage), the golf club has more diagonal knockback (and the most range), and the tennis racket has more horizontal knockback and is a strong semi-spike.
19% (pan), 16.3% (club), 14.5% (racket)
Up smash
Raises her arm and twirls an orange ribbon. A flower appears at the tip of the ribbon, which is where the sweetspot is located.
Daisy does a clockwise spin on her left leg and utilizes the edge of her dress, slashing multiple times.

Standard special
Toad
Daisy covers her ears with a terrified expression and turns away as Toad appears in front of her, arms spread out. If hit, Toad will retaliate with a spray of spores, and Daisy will wince. If attacked from behind, Daisy and Toad switch places.

Side special
Daisy Bomber
Lunges her body forward to deliver a powerful bash with her rear. Upon impact, she rebounds away from the victim, allowing for hit-and-run tactics. Deals considerable shield damage. Smash-inputting the move has her travel further.
16%
Up special
Daisy Parasol
Jumps upward and then opens her parasol similar to Peach's, jabbing those above her in the process. It can then be used as a directional glide but can also be opened or closed at will.
Plucks a Super Mario Bros. 2 Vegetable from the ground. She can then throw it as a projectile item. Its face determines how much damage it will do; the rarer the expression, the stronger the turnip. Along with turnips, Daisy can rarely pull out Mr. Saturns and Bob-ombs. She cannot use this in mid-air.
Varies
Final Smash
Daisy Blossom
Daisy performs a dance, causing all of her enemies to fall asleep. The closer they are to her when she activates it, the more damage they will take and the longer they will slumber. Three giant flowers appear, healing 20%. This Final Smash fails to affect anyone outside the range of the screen borders.
