Candy Kong has blue eyes with three eyelashes on each, and blonde hair which is just beyond shoulder length.

She has light brown fur and pale skin similar to most of the other Kongs, however lacks the exposed belly section. Her physique is fairly similar to Tiny's, being more human-like. Candy is also quite tall, being among the tallest of the Kong family.

===Personality and traits===
===Personality and traits===
Candy Kong usually has a fairly easy going personality, and often uses affectionate terms to refer to the other Kongs, such as "Honey" and "Sugar", and is also seen blowing kisses in various appearances. Candy is also shown to have a keen interest in music and dance, as she owns a dance studio in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' remakes, and a music shop as well as wearing a pair of headphones and a cassette player in ''Donkey Kong 64''. Her profile on the German ''Donkey Kong 64'' website further reaffirms this, as well as suggesting that she puts a large amount of effort into her appearance and often trains at the fitness centre. She also is not above using her looks to her advantage, as demonstrated by her deliberately using her flirtatious nature on King K. Rool to distract him long enough for Funky Kong to deliver the coup de grace on the [[Kremling]] leader in the ending for ''Donkey Kong 64''. Her personality was completely changed for the animated series, however, as in this project she has a much shorter temper and a stubbornness not usually seen in the games.

*'''[[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]''': ''Combining her two chief loves—music and money—Candy offers to sell musical instruments to the Kongs. It’s too bad she doesn’t give them lessons. If they play on the right Music Pads, however, the Kongs can trigger something special, such as the opening of a hidden door. The music scares away groups of enemies, all for the price of just one Headphone. As an added bonus, Candy offers her chums upgrades including extra melons and more Music Energy.''<ref>{{cite|author=Bihldorff, Nate, et al.|title=''Donkey Kong 64'' [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]]|page=7|date=1999|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en}}</ref>

*'''German website''': ''Everything that [[Tiny Kong|Tiny]] dreams of has come true for Candy. With her long legs, her sweet pouting lips and her silky blond hair, she makes every ape heart beat faster. But she really puts a lot of effort into her beauty. Hours of training sessions in the fitness center are an integral part of her daily schedule. Apart from that she also has considerable musical talent. The Kongs can get various musical instruments from her. After short instruction by Candy they play these with such virtuosity that they literally knock over a Kremling once in a while.''<br>''Played on special boards, the instruments develop an even greater effect. Gates open, complex mechanisms are set in motion, and even the biggest sleepyhead is catapulted from dreamland. A visit with Candy is always worthwhile, because she always recharges the power of the musical instruments absolutely free of charge, and treats her visitors to an extension for the melon strip once in a while, too.''
