History

Donkey Kong Country

The first appearance of Candy Kong was in the game Donkey Kong Country. Here, she managed Candy's Save Point where Donkey and Diddy can save their progress.

In the Game Boy Color remake of Donkey Kong Country, Candy instead, manages the game's various mini-games and has had her place's name changed to Candy's Challenge. Here, Donkey and Diddy had to collect a Golden Banana Coin in each of the bonus mini-games with one being in each world, excluding Gangplank Galleon which is just a place where Donkey and Diddy fight King K. Rool. In the Game Boy Advance remake, Candy's occupation is once again changed and she runs her own dance studio and Donkey and Diddy had to copy one another and Candy's move.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

Aside from Donkey Kong Country, Candy did not appear in any other games in the Donkey Kong Country series, though she does appear in the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest as a cameo on being Swanky's assistant of Swanky's Bonus Bonanza

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

Candy briefly appears in one of Funky's mini-games in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble and Dixie and Kiddy had to save her, along with the other members of the Kong Family, from the Kremlings.

In Donkey Kong 64 Candy reappears running Candy's Music Shop, which is found in every area after Jungle Japes except Hideout Helm. Here, Candy sells the Kongs powerful musical instruments which can defeat foes and cause certain events to occur if used on a Music Pad. Candy will also give the Kongs an extra watermelon on occasion, increasing the amount of damage the Kongs can sustain.

Donkey Kong Country (TV series)

Candy was also a regular on the Donkey Kong Country animated series as well. She was voiced by Joy Tanner. However, she looked completely different from the pink-clad blonde seen in the games. Also, on the show, she worked at the barrel factory run by Bluster Kong, her boss, who constantly hit on her. Candy sometimes had a goal of buying the factory. Time to time, she had lunch with Donkey Kong. This version of Candy also showed off a very quick temper and is slightly tomboyish.

Diddy Kong Pilot

As seen in the YouTube video of the 2001 build of Diddy Kong Pilot posted by Transparentjinjo, Candy is shown to be a playable character in the game, but is blocked by Redneck Kong, meaning the color character select screen had not been edited yet; Cranky Kong's pose is different as well. She is not implemented in the September 7, 2001 build. She also appeared on the main menu, in the "Dog Fights" animated icon and battle mode portrait.
