Luigi and Princess Daisy: A Relationship Profile and Biography
Unlike the constantly-in-peril dynamic of Mario and Peach, the relationship between Luigi and Daisy is often portrayed as more stable, energetic, and mutually supportive. Daisy's tomboyish, headstrong personality offers a perfect counterbalance to Luigi's shy, often-anxious demeanor.- Luigi (The Green Machine)
- Full Name: Luigi Mario
- First Appearance: *Mario Bros.* (1983)
- Role: Younger, taller fraternal twin brother of Mario; co-owner of Mario Bros. Plumbing; recurring hero of the *Mushroom Kingdom* and star of the *Luigi's Mansion* series.
- Defining Traits: Timid, kind-hearted, loyal, surprisingly agile, known for his signature high jump and ghost-busting skills.
- Love Interest Status: Heavily implied to be Princess Daisy.
- Princess Daisy (The Sarasaland Sovereign)
- Full Name: Princess Daisy
- First Appearance: *Super Mario Land* (1989)
- Role: The energetic, tomboyish ruler of *Sarasaland*, a kingdom distinct from the *Mushroom Kingdom*. She was Mario's original damsel-in-distress before becoming a staple in spin-off titles.
- Defining Traits: Outgoing, athletic, competitive, known for her powerful "Hi, I'm Daisy!" catchphrase and her love of sports games.
- Love Interest Status: Heavily implied to be Luigi.
- The Pairing's Origin: The pairing was solidified in *NES Open Tournament Golf* (1991), where Daisy served as Luigi's caddie, mirroring Peach caddying for Mario. This dynamic was later formally cemented in *Mario Tennis 64* (1999), where a developer explicitly stated that Luigi "needed a girlfriend," leading to Daisy being chosen as his partner.
The Definitive In-Game Evidence: Why Nintendo Keeps Dropping Hints
The primary argument for Luigi and Daisy being a confirmed couple stems from a long, consistent history of subtle—and sometimes not-so-subtle—visual and contextual clues embedded within the games. These hints are too numerous and specific to be accidental, suggesting a deliberate narrative choice by the developers.1. The Iconic Mario Kart Wii Statue
Perhaps the most famous piece of evidence is the giant bronze statue featured in the *Mario Kart Wii* track, Daisy Circuit. The statue depicts Luigi and Daisy holding hands, dancing, and gazing into each other's eyes. This is a massive, permanent landmark within Daisy's own circuit, a clear parallel to the statue of Mario and Peach that also appears on a different track. The inclusion of this statue is widely considered the closest thing to an official confirmation that exists in the *Super Mario* video game canon. It’s a public, romantic display of affection in a place of honor.2. Consistent Pairing in Spin-Off Titles
Since their solid pairing in *Mario Tennis 64*, Luigi and Daisy are consistently grouped together as a default romantic duo in many spin-off titles, particularly those that require character pairings. This includes their default partnership in doubles matches across the *Mario Party* and *Mario Strikers* franchises. While these games are not always considered "canon" to the main platformers, this consistent, decades-long pairing reinforces the narrative that they are a unit, just as Mario and Peach are.3. The 'Luigi's Girlfriend' Developer Commentary
The story behind *Mario Tennis 64* is crucial. When asked about Daisy's return and pairing with Luigi, developers reportedly explained that Luigi needed a love interest to parallel Mario, and Daisy was the perfect fit. This behind-the-scenes decision by the creators established the relationship's foundation, even if the on-screen dialogue remains non-committal. This intentionality confirms the pairing is not just a fan creation, but a deliberate choice by the creative team.4. The "Luigi's Friend" Paradox and the Lack of Alternatives
While some official sources, such as trophy descriptions in *Super Smash Bros.* or character bios, may cautiously refer to Daisy as "Luigi's friend," this ambiguous language is seen as a way for Nintendo to maintain creative flexibility rather than a denial of the relationship. Crucially, neither character has ever been given another serious, long-term love interest in the main canon. While characters like *Rosalina* are sometimes shipped with Luigi by fans, the evidence for Daisy is overwhelming and consistently reinforced over 30 years.The Future of the Canon: Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 and Official Confirmation
The biggest potential game-changer for the Luigi and Daisy relationship is the upcoming sequel to the highly successful *The Super Mario Bros. Movie* from Illumination. The first film, released in 2023, firmly established Mario and Peach's budding relationship, setting the stage for Luigi to have his own romantic arc. Current, highly-circulated rumors and fan theories strongly suggest that *Princess Daisy* will be introduced in *The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2* and will be immediately established as *Luigi's* love interest. * The Narrative Need: Introducing Daisy as Luigi's love interest would provide a strong parallel to the Mario/Peach dynamic, giving Luigi character development and a personal stake in the movie's events. * Fan Demand: The massive, positive reaction to the first film has amplified fan demand for a canon Luigi/Daisy pairing, which the filmmakers are likely to capitalize on. * The Potential for Official Canon: Because the film is a major, global, non-game media property, an explicit romantic pairing in the movie would essentially serve as the *official canon confirmation* that has been missing from the video games for decades. This would finally put to rest the debate and solidify their status as the franchise's second power couple. The anticipation for the sequel is not just about the plot, but about finally witnessing the shy hero and the energetic princess share a definitive, on-screen romantic moment, officially cementing the relationship that has been an open secret in the *Super Mario* universe since the era of the Nintendo 64. Until then, fans can rest assured that while the word "dating" may not be officially stamped on their relationship, the evidence provided by *Mario Kart Wii*, *Mario Tennis*, and decades of developer intent makes the pairing virtually undeniable.
