Princess Daisy, Adventure in sarasaland

So i decided to make a game idea, where princess daisy has to reclaim sarasaland from tatanga. so allow me to explain every details i would've given to this game if i were to make it and what features it would've had and reference.

and yes, i would've given daisy her nintendo 64 tan skin.
---

story

as daisy got back to her kingdom by plane, she witnessed that everyone were behaving strangely. she then spotted a pinopi wearing orange clothing that happens to be part of the royal council. he explain that tatanga took over all 4 kingdoms and princess daisy's palace. daisy decide to reclaim sarasaland as she was ready to get payback. the pinopi also explain that tatanga shattered the ancient flower pendants that are actually ancient relics of sarasaland, he suggest to collect them in order to restore them while daisy goes on her way. 

this pinopi becomes a sidekick throughout the adventure, where he sometimes appear and tosses random items at daisy.
---

gameplay and abilities?

something similar to how every character function in super mario 3d world, except daisy has the double jump from super mario run.

normal function.

a = jump
a+a = double jump.
b = super ball, fire ball and cat attacks exclusively.

as for the abilities, they'd be the following;

1. mushroom
2. super ball
3. fire flower
4. super star
5. cat suit

vehicles (exclusive in some levels)

1. marine pop
2. sky pop
---
2d or 3d game?

although it would be easy to make a 2d game. the best option i would say is 3d, mostly so players could experiment in making the different worlds in 3d and test the limits.
---

levels and worlds?

obviously have the original four levels from super mario land. as well as 3 new ones. each would have a hubworld where daisy can go to and find either items and clothes for the adventure. these hubworld are found at the beginning of each world. also that each levels fit in with the theme of the worlds. and that each world has a total of 10 levels. the daisy cruiser and the city section of daisy circuit appear in the muda kingdom as their own levels, while daisy's palace is based on the big structure found on daisy's circuit.

1. birabuto kingdom - desert 
2. muda kingdom - ocean
3. easton kingdom - grass and caves
4. chai kingdom - ancient Chinese villages, forest, temple and mountain
5. princess daisy's palace - garden and castle.
6. tatanga's space fortress - spaceship
7. ??? 
---

hubworlds

each hub world would be different, in terms of designs and actions. each would have a different minigame and a shop where you can get different clothes. as well as multiple npc. 
---

bosses

bringing back all 5 bosses from the original and include two more, each having a two phase battle. now all bosses except tatanga were hypnotized to obey tatanga's orderes, once you defeat these bosses, they can be found on their respective world's hubworld as NPC (except tatanga). also that the king of sarasaland is always wearing a fencing outfit and mask, just to leave us wonder what he looks like without the mask.

1. king totomesu - birabuto.
2. dragonzamasu - muda.
3. hiyoihoi - easton
4. biokinton - chai.
5. king of sarasaland - princess daisy's palace.
6. armored tatanga - tatanga's flying fortress (fake final boss)
7. final boss - ??? (true final boss)
---

collectibles

for each levels of each world, daisy has to find and collect a hidden petal in order to make a flower gem that actually grant powers to keep sarasaland safe. for each kingdom, they will have a different flower. also, that you need to collect all of them in order to get the best ending.

1. birabuto - yellow lotus. wanted a flower to reflect egypt, so i went with a lotus. but i went with a yellow one so one could say it reflect with the sand and pyramid of the kingdom.

2. muda - blue hibiscus. since muda is highly reference on bermuda, i wen't with a tropical flower. and i went with a hibiscus painted blue so it could reflect the blue ocean of the kingdom.

3. Easton - green frangipani. now easton is based on easter island, and i decided to go with the frangipani flower. a flower that looks as if it's twirling when it blooms. it being green with gray pays homage to how grassy the easton kingdom can be.

4. chai - red dahlia. now unlike the rest, i decided to pick this flower as the color red and white is the highly used color in china. also to me, the red and white dahlia somehow reminds me of the red panda, which can sometimes be found in south of china.

5. princess daisy's palace - an orange yellow daisy. now by using the palace found in daisy's circuit as the basic. its coloration does match the flower and it reflect princess daisy herself. such as orange, yellow and white being her current dress colorations.

6. tatanga's flying fortress - purple with white petunia - i wanted a flower that matches tatanga's appearance, so i went with a purple with white petunia, as tatanga is mostly depicted in canon as a purple alien with big white eyes and teeth, not counting both his comic designs. ya could say that tatanga stole this sixth flower as it was the only one not to represent a region from sarasaland.
------------------------------------

alternate outfits.

like in super mario Odyssey. daisy should have alternate costumes. some are given to her after discovering the town hubworld after beating the fifth level on any world. the ones that are given after finding the hubworlds reflects with the tradition of world you're in, as well as the gemstone you're collecting from each world. while the ones that are bought in stores are callbacks to daisy's outfits from previous games.

depending on which outfit you wear, daisy will have 2 running animation, one holding her dress up like she does in super mario run. while the other is her running animation from mario party ds / 10

default dress.

obviously her current design. 

region dress.

1. birabuto kingdom dress = decided to go with a simple egyptian dress, rather than embroidering her with Egyptian jewelries and giving her a lion mane crown. i decided to go in the prince of egypt style, where they're given simple, yet elegant outfit. and since daisy is a princess and her father is alive, she's not ready to have that type of crown. so i gave her an egyptian diadem that has a yellow lotus. also, daisy's egyptian outfit is decorated with lotus flowers and wears a lotus arm cuff as if a flower was twirling around her arm, i originally wanted to give daisy a transparent cape also with yellow lotus, but i bet that would've been hard to animate so i decided not to include it.

2. muda kingdom dress = wanted to give her more of a vacation outfit when it came to this one. I originally wanted it to have straight white line, but since i was making it a blue dress, i decided to give it waves, similar to how her nes open golf tournament was painted blue and her skirt looked as if it had white waves, as well as having hibiscus. somehow, this is the only outfit that makes her barefoot. 

3. easton kingdom dress = i wanted the outfit to reflect more on nature when it came to this one, so i based the skirt section on the frangipani flower in how it goes around her, while the tanktop is simple. i also gave her some cuffs that are rapped around in vines, just to give it a more nature look. i also gave her a crown similar to how the easter island natives wear just to have another reference.

4. chai kingdom dress = this time i went with a more traditional wear of royalty. now since she must be seen running throughout the game, the bottom section mustn't be too long, so it's normal enough to fit the traditional look. i also gave her the long sleeves and i gave it the same pattern as the red dahlia flower's petals. as for her crown, i decided to keep it simple as well. 

5. princess daisy's palace = since we'er returning to sarasaland, it should be rewarding that daisy can be given her classic appearance. only one not to match the flower gem.

6. Tatanga's flying fortress = decided to go with a more retro space girl look for this one. this one is an outfit that is given to daisy by katsini, who claims that his female species wear these type of outfit when using the giant spacecraft, but since none of them like tatanga, they didn't joined the invasion. 

shop outfits.

these are found in any hubworld shops.

01. toadstool tour golf top with shorts - (gamecube)
02. world tour golf dress. (gamecube)
03. super rush golf dress. (switch)
04. winter outfit. (olympic games)
05. olympic swimsuit (olympic games)
06. super striker outfit. (gamecube)
07. orange striker charge outfit. (wii)
08. teal striker charge outfit. (wii)
09. biker outfit. (kart)
10. Dr outfit (dr mario world)
11. karate outfit (olympic games)
12. surf suit (olympic games)
13. equestrian outfit (olympic games)
14. fencing outfit (olympic games)
15. holiday outfit. (kart tour)
16. fairy outfit (kart tour)
17. swimwear (kart tour)
18. yukata outfit. (kart tour)

these are unlocked by tapping amiibos. now 3 of them can be unlocked by daisy, luigi, mario and peach. mostly cause these 3 are reference that marked a big impact on princess daisy's history. these outfit can be bought exclusively on tatanga's fortress if you don't have the 4 amiibos.

1. classic princess daisy's tennis wear - mostly a reference to the first time princess daisy could be played with mario, luigi and peach on mario tennis 64.
2. limited blue classic princess daisy golf outfit - mostly a reference to the first time daisy was seen with luigi and peach on the nes open golf tournament.
3. tiebreaker classic princess daisy tennis wear - same reason as the original. i originally wanted this to be the dress rewarded in tatanga's flying fortress, but decided to give daisy a retro space girl suit.

if you have the super mario daisy amiibo or the smash bros daisy amiibo, you would unlock the super smash bros outfit daisy wears, including the palette swap. only outfit fully exclusive to the amiibo.

You can also get Mario, Luigi, peach and rosalina’s outfits by tapping their amiibo. If you don’t have them, you can find them on the bonus games.
--------------------------------

fake ending.

if you didn't collect all petals from each world, the bad ending shows tatanga's ship fleeing into space as everyone cheers for the liberation. daisy can be seen waving at the crowd from her palace as the pinopi smile from the background. the camera focus him as his smile change to a sinister grin, revealing it's teeth as the player saw that tatanga was disguised as the pinopi that helped you.

the continuation, final boss and ending.

if you collect all petals from each world, the good ending shows tatanga's ship crashing to the ocean next to sarasaland. the 6 flower pendants appear and each shoot a beam at the disguised tatanga you thought was the sidekick pinopi, tatanga angrily jumps on his small spaceship and intends to escape with the pinopi as a hostage. daisy gets on the skypop and chase it down. 

phase one focus on daisy shooting the giant vessel tatanga is hiding on. mostly avoiding it's beam attacks, destroying the missiles it send out and damaging the ship so you can get inside and rescue the pinopi.

phase two focus on daisy flying through the inside of the ship as she must destroy the main engines in order to make the ship not escape. once so, the ship start to lose altitude as you're forced to go on foot. once you rescue pinopi, the ship crashes into the ocean, as the two of them fall from a collapsing floor, the 6 pendants stops daisy and pinopi from falling as it brought them safely on some debris of the ship.

phase three focus on tatanga emerges from the water with his ship, tired of being defeated by daisy, he prepares himself to fight daisy with his ship. but the 6 flower pendants you collected appear again and merges together, creating a magical scepter that is exclusive to this boss fight. forcing the gameplay to play differently. 

a = jump
a + a = double jump
a + b = floral tornado
b = floral swing
b charge = floral beam 
 
this battle is mostly dodging and  

phase four focus on tatanga getting off his ship as it exploded. he takes out a sword and begans to fight while also using a ray gun and having a jet pack. here, daisy function the same as phase 3, but the grand finally of this battle is button mashing as tatanga intends to slash his sword on daisy, but daisy defend herself with the magical scepter as she push him back. he take out his ray gun and intends to shoot as daisy feels the magic within the gems as she too releases a beam, forcing one to mash their button to make the beam bigger. once the beam weakens tatanga, daisy walkers towards him, say “bye bye” and punch him into the sky, sending tatanga into space, back to where he came.  (mostly a callback to when daisy slapped bowser into the sky)

the true ending.

back on one of the beach of sarasaland, everyone look from far, hoping that daisy was ok. but from far, they could see daisy and the pinopi row back to the kingdom. as they cheered, the screen changes to everyone in front of princess daisy's palace as she hold the scepter and releases it into the sky. the scepter split back into the 6 pendants as they release a beam of magic through the sky, forcing every flower on sarasaland to bloom. daisy runs towards the skypop as she flows to the sky as the credit rolls by, going through each kingdoms and the fortress, while pictures appear of daisy wearing each of the outfit you received from each kingdom and the pendant appearing beside the pictures. the credit ends with everyone, including the bosses cheering and waving at the player. with daisy saying "thanks for playing" while still wearing the outfit you last played as her.
