Candy Kong is usually mentioned in various official descriptions to be Donkey Kong's love interest, and often expresses this through the games by using affectionate terms to address him. The instruction booklet that came with ''Donkey Kong Country'', her first appearance, stated that she is presumed to marry Donkey Kong someday and that she is the "[[banana]] of Donkey Kong's eye", but she does not think he is ready to settle down yet. In ''Donkey Kong 64'', Candy has a big carpet with the form of a heart with Donkey Kong's face on it as well as a small picture of him, and in both ''Donkey Kong Country'' and ''Donkey Kong 64'', Donkey Kong has a picture of her with hearts in his house.
