Candy Kong first appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', where she ran a series of save stations (in the original version) or dance studios (in the GBA remake) across [[Donkey Kong Island]]. In the GBA version, Candy gave dancing lessons to DK and [[Diddy Kong]] whenever they stopped by, to give them a break from their adventure. Additionally in the GBA version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', Candy acted as [[Swanky Kong|Swanky Kong's]] assistant in his series of Bonus Bonanza minigames as they toured [[Crocodile Isle]]. Candy also briefly appeared in the GBA remake of  ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie's Double Trouble]]'', where she was being held hostage along with most of the other Kongs until Dixie and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] saved them in one of [[Funky Kong|Funky's]] missions.

Candy played a larger role in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', where she ran a series of music stores around Donkey Kong Island. She sold instruments to each of the Kongs when they visited, and later sold them upgrades for the instruments. Candy also played a role in the game's finale, where she distracted [[K. Rool]] with flirtatious poses so that Funky could sneak up on him and send him flying.

Her appearances since then have been scarce. In ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', she was only seen in crowd scenes. In ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', she was seen accompanying the other Kongs in their vacation to [[Sun Sun Island]] and also ran a Challenge mode. In ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', she similarly ran a challenge mode called Candy's Challenges.
