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

In Donkey Kong 64 Candy reappears running Candy's Music Shop, which is found in every area after Jungle Japes except Fungi Forest and 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. In the end after Chunky fight King K. Rool Candy appears and distracts King K. Rool, while Funky appears from behind him and shoots him a big shoe, which sends him to were K. Lumsy is.

In the Game Boy Color remake of Donkey Kong Country, she manages the game's various mini-games. In the Game Boy Advance remake, Candy's occupation is once again changed. She now runs a dance studio where the Kongs can play mini-games.

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

Vacations

Candy returns in the game DK: King of Swing, despite having official artwork for the game, Candy only briefly appears in the game itself, she can also be seen cheering the player. She, along Cranky Kong, were the only Kongs not playable in this game.

Her next appearance was in the DS game DK Jungle Climber. In this game she went with all the Kongs to vacations in Sun Sun Island. She appears in the opening cutscene where she is seen sitting with an umbrella, for protection against the sun rays of the island, while enjoying the sighting.

Candy's Challenges

Her first appearance in the Wii console was in the game Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, she is the only kong that appears in this game who is not playable.
