Though she has been a non-playable character since her first appearance, she has her own action figure in Japan.

History
Donkey Kong Country series
The first appearance of Candy Kong is in the game Donkey Kong Country. Here, she manages Candy's Save Point where Donkey and Diddy Kong can save their progress. She appears in all worlds as well as the ending. The instruction booklet calls Candy Kong the "banana of Donkey Kong's eye" and mentions that everyone assumes they will marry one day, although it is Candy's opinion that he is not ready to settle down yet. She doesn't appear in another game until Donkey Kong 64.
In the Game Boy Color remake of Donkey Kong Country, she manages the game's various minigames where Donkey and Diddy have to collect a Golden Banana Coin in all of the worlds' minigames excluding Gangplank Galleon. The name also has been changed to Candy's Challenge. In the Game Boy Advance remake, Candy's occupation is once again changed. She now runs Candy's Dance Studio, where the Kongs can play a dancing minigame against Candy and one another, depending on the lead Kong.
Candy also makes a cameo appearance in the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest as Swanky's assistant in Swanky's Bonus Bonanza.
She also appears in the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! where she briefly appears in one of Funky Kong's minigames. In the minigame, she appears in the water along some other Kongs and Dixie and Kiddy Kong with help of their boat, have to save her, along with the other Kong Family member from being taken away by Kremlings.
Club Nintendo
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. Donkey and Diddy decided to tell her about their journey. Candy, instead of letting Donkey and Diddy Kong "save" their progress; she provided them with Squawks in order to make their journey easier. She is also briefly seen at the end of the comic "Donkey Kong in: Banana Day 24" from the same magazine, celebrating together with the other Kongs.
Donkey Kong Country television series
In 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. Candy and Donkey Kong were actively dating, much to the annoyance of her boss, Bluster Kong, who wanted Candy all to himself.
Donkey Kong 64
Candy's second appearance is in Donkey Kong 64 where she runs her own 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 also gives the Kongs an extra watermelon on occasion, increasing the amount of damage the Kongs can sustain. She also offers the Kongs music lessons with a Piano.
In the end after Chunky fights King K. Rool, Candy appears and distracts King K. Rool with her beauty, which is surprising considering how K. Rool hates apes. While she does this, Funky appears from behind and shoots him with a gun loaded with a big shoe, which sends him to where K. Lumsy is located. She also appears in the two endings where she is seen riding K. Lumsy, alongside all the Kongs, and in the second one she is seen eating outside of Donkey Kong's house. In the secret ending, she appears various times, and every time she appears she laughs.
DK series
DK: King of Swing
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 be seen cheering the player. She and Cranky Kong were the only Kongs not playable in this game.
DK: Jungle Climber
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.
Donkey Kong Barrel Blast
Her first appearance in the Wii console was in the game Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, and she is the only Kong that appears in this game who is not playable. In this game she has her own mode, Candy's Challenges, in this mode she gives Donkey different challenges he must complete in order to unlock certain characters. She appears in the cutscene seen when the cursor is passed over the Candy Challenges options.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
She had her own trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl which mentioned the rumor of her being Donkey Kong's girlfriend. Her trophy mentions Candy's last appearance as being Donkey Kong 64 instead of Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, it also mentions Candy's Music Shop from Donkey Kong 64 and Candy's Challenges from Donkey Kong Barrel Blast.
