The '''Candy Clone''' is a robotic double of [[Candy Kong]] in the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'']] animated series. She appears in three episodes and is under the command of [[King K. Rool]]. Despite her robotic voice, her appearance is identical to Candy Kong, so much so that even Candy Kong's friends, [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]], did not notice anything different.
