Background
Candy Kong first appeared in Donkey Kong Country, where she ran a series of save stations (in the original version) or dance studios (in the GBA remake) across Donkey Kong Island. In the GBA version, Candy gave dancing lessons to DK and Diddy Kong whenever they stopped by, to give them a break from their adventure. Additionally in the GBA version of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Candy acted as Swanky Kong's assistant in his series of Bonus Bonanza minigames as they toured Crocodile Isle. Candy also briefly appeared in the GBA remake of 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, where 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 for the instruments. Candy also played a role in the game's finale, where she distracted K. Rool with flirtatious poses so that Funky could sneak up on him and send him flying.
Her appearances since then have been scarce. In DK: King of Swing, she was only seen in crowd scenes. In DK: Jungle Climber, she was seen accompanying the other Kongs in their vacation to Sun Sun Island and also ran a Challenge mode. In Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, she similarly ran a challenge mode called Candy's Challenges.
Other Appearances
Other Media
- Candy Kong appeared as a supporting character in the computer-animated Donkey Kong Country show. She had a significantly altered appearance and was depicted as being Donkey Kong's impatient girlfriend, constantly getting mad at Donkey Kong for being late for their dates. She worked at a barrel factory in this incarnation, where her boss Bluster Kong made various passes at her.
Trivia
- 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.
- She also appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 3DS/Wii U. Her trophy description in the latter installment indicates that both Donkey Kong and Funky have crushes on her.
- In Super Mario Odyssey, New Donk City is filled with references to different Donkey Kong characters, including one establishment called Candy Cafe. It is unknown if the real Candy Kong is involved in it.
