Donkey Kong: Difference between revisions

[[Candy Kong]] is one of Donkey Kong's closest friends who others believe he will marry one day, although he is not ready to settle down in Candy Kong's opinion. The [[https://web.archive.org/web/20010420120315/http://www.rare.co.uk/recent/games/dkc/castlist/cast_candy.html DKC Trilogy Cast List|DKC Trilogy Cast List]] suggests that the two have known each other since childhood. According to ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the idea of Candy being DK's girlfriend is only a rumor, this may be due to the fact Donkey Kong seems to spontaneously show romantic interest in [[Pauline]]. In Rare-developed games, DK tends to keep a framed photograph of Candy in [[DK's Tree House|his home]]. To explain Candy Kong's absence in later games, one official review of ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' states that she broke up with Donkey Kong,<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) #50, page 52. "''You’d have thought that after retrieving his banana stash, Donkey Kong would be able to live out his days in peace and harmony with Candy Kong by his side. Unfortunately, she’s given him the push. And to make matters even worse, he’s been captured by those oh-so-pesky Kremlings!''"</ref> although the ''Donkey Kong 64'' manual suggests otherwise.<ref>''Donkey Kong 64'' instruction booklet, page 9. "''That darn Donkey has all the luck! His girl Candy waits around in her hut, always willing to offer her musical help to that undeserving son of mine and his fancy polygonal friends. Pah!''"</ref>
