Candy Kong (Donkey Kong Country TV series)

Candy Kong is a character of the Donkey Kong series created by Rare and owned by Nintendo. She is the first female character seen in the series while Dixie was the first playable one in the series as of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest. She is also mh:greatcharacters:Donkey Kong's girlfriend. Sadly, she wasn't that great, was flanderized, and really bad in the Donkey Kong Country TV show series. She was voiced by Joy Tanner

Why She's Not Our Candy Kong
Note: This doesn't apply to her video game counterpart whatsoever.
 * 1) To start off the point of this character, her design looks nothing like her video game counterpart, she looks more like an African-American than her in-game design.
 * 2) She constantly gets mad at Donkey Kong when it's not his fault. For example: Bluster Kong threw a cake at her and she blames Donkey Kong for it. For another example: Diddy slammed a cake in her face because he thought she was the Candy clone, but when he realizes that she was the real Candy, he runs away scot-free and DK gets the blame and gets the cake slammed in the face by Candy.
 * 3) * She once accused Donkey Kong for taking a banana cake without any evidence for it. (Though she wouldn't believe in him anyway because DK started to blame it on Diddy Kong.)
 * 4) This version of Candy also showed off a very quick temper.
 * 5) She sometimes gets no comeuppances for her actions.
 * 6) Candy is so bad that even the show's most prolific writer, Erika Strobel hates her.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) She is sometimes nice to Donkey Kong.
 * 2) Joy Tanner did an okay job voicing her.
 * 3) Similar to Dixie Kong, she was a much better character in the Mario and Donkey Kong games.
 * 4) She can be admittedly actually funny and likable at times.

Trivia

 * Since Candy's hair is drastically different to its appearances in the games and the cartoon, it's speculated that Candy's hair isn't real and that she wears wigs.
