Princess Daisy debuted in Super Mario Land as the princess of Sarasaland whom Mario must rescue from the alien Tatanga. She later became a recurring character in the Mario franchise, appearing prominently in the Mario Kart, Mario Party, and Mario sports game series as a playable character.

Super Mario Land features 12 levels spread across four worlds, each containing three stages. This makes it notably shorter than the original Super Mario Bros., reflecting the constraints of a Game Boy launch title and the limitations of the handheld's early development environment.
