Princess Daisy will finally be making her debut in Super Mario Maker, starting tomorrow. Now when level builders drop a Mystery Mushroom into their courses, there’s a chance it will transform the level’s players into the brunette princess.

Daisy is the second new character costume to appear in the game just this week. Yesterday, Nintendo added Yamamura. Never heard of Yamamura? Well, you’re not alone. Yamamura is a pigeon from the Super Mario Maker instructional comics. Some players felt that this was a snub to Daisy, who is one of the few female characters in the Mario world, and quite popular.

There are already a ton of costumes available (via the Mystery Mushroom system), featuring everyone from Captain Toad to Isabelle to a Wii Balance Board to Mario driving a Mercedes-Benz to Mario flying an old-timey airplane (officially sanctioned by Southwest Airlines).
