Daisy and Peach have been portrayedon to be bestgood friendsterms since Daisy's big comeback appearance in ''Mario Tennis'' for the Nintendo 64. If something involves partners in the ''Mario'' spin-offs, the two will usually be a team, from various sports games to ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''. By contrast, they face off as rivals in the ''Strikers'' games and are also depicted as having a friendly rivalry in the ''Super Mario'' manga series. ''Mario Super Sluggers'' is the first game to show the two sharing dialog, wherein Peach reveals that she has a lot of concern for Daisy's welfare. Nintendo's ''Mario Power Tennis'' website says that Daisy is Peach's "sister in arms", a term used to describe a close friendship or bond, and while the Prima guides for ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' and ''Mario Kart Wii'' say they are cousins, no known first-party material has confirmed or denied this. Prior to Daisy's comeback appearance in the games and by extension the establishment of their being best friendsrelationship, however, a 4 Koma segment of the ''Super Mario Kun'' manga depicted Peach as being jealous of Daisy getting attention from Mario to the extent that she threw a mushroom at the latter in anger.
