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!. In Donkey Kong Country 2, Candy cameos as Swanky Kong's assistant in on his quiz show. Candy briefly appears in one of Funky Kong's mini-games in Donkey Kong Country 3.
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 him, while Funky appears from behind him and shoots him a big shoe, which sends him to were K. Lumsy is.
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. Her next appearence was in the DS game DK Jungle Climber.

In this game she has her own mode, Candy Challenges, in this mode she gives Donkey different challenges he must complete in order to unlock certain characters.
Other Appearences

Appearances in Other Media
On the Donkey Kong Country cartoon, Candy was drastically changed, more so than any other character. On the show, Candy had a completely different personality.
On the show, Candy had somewhat of a temper, she was also apparently, the sole employee at Kongo Bongo Island's (as Donkey Kong Island was called on the show) barrel factory. Like in the games, Candy was Donkey Kong's girlfriend, much to the annoyance of her boss, Bluster Kong, who wanted Candy all to himself.
She also made a brief appearance in the Club Nintendo comic "Donkey Kong Country". Like in the game of the same name, she was found at her Save Point; however, instead of letting Donkey and Diddy Kong "save" their progress, she provided them with Squawks the Parrot.
