Eye color | Blue |
Debut | Donkey Kong Country |
Candy is the girlfriend of Donkey Kong and a music enthuiast. Unlike most girlfriends of heroes, she does not resort to the role of the damsel in distress.
Background
Candy Kong first appeared in Donkey Kong Country, where she ran a series of dance studios across Donkey Kong Island. Candy gave dancing lessons to DK and Diddy Kong whenever they stopped by, to give them a break from their adventure. Additionally in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Candy acted as Swanky Kong's assisstant in his series of Bonus Bonanza minigames as they toured Crocodile Island. Candy also briefly appeared in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie's Double Trouble, where she was being held hostage along with most of the other Kongs until Dixie and Kiddy saved them in one of Funky's missions.
Candy played a larger role in Donkey Kong 64. She ran a series of music stores around Donkey Kong Island. She sold instruments to each of the Kongs when they visited, and later sold them upgrades to the instruments. Candy also played a role in the game's climax, when she distracted K. Rool so that Funky could send him flying.
Candy has not been seen since, except for being seen in several crowd scenes in DK: King of Swing.
Trivia
- Donkey Kong and Candy's relationship isn't mentioned much in the games, but at least they are definitively shown as a couple unlike Mario and Peach or Link and Zelda.
- She is not in the original versions of Donkey Kong Country 2 or 3, and was only added in for the Game Boy Advance remakes.
- Despite having official artwork of her in King of Swing, she has no real purpose in the actual game.
