DKC - Candy and Dixie
Now this is probably going to sound unfair and sexist, but my only two 
problems with the DKC show are the only two female characters, Candy 
and Dixie. Now don't get me wrong, Dixie is one of my favourite 
characters out of all the DK games, and I missed Candy when she wasn't 
in DKC2 or 3, it's just that TV doesn't do them justice.

One thing different about both of them is their hair - it's too short! 
Dixies long blond ponytail was her trademark, she just isn't Dixie 
without it! Candy's short hair is more acceptable, and I suppose it 
suits her better with the way she does her make up now-a-days, but I 
prefer the way she looked in DK64. I understand that animation of 
flowing objects such as hair, tails and baggy clothes is more difficult 
than the way they do arm and leg movements and stuff like opening 
doors, but that's not a good enough excuse for what they did to Dixie!

Of course looks aren't everything, it's important how they get along 
with others on the island. In DKC, Candy was always kind and helpful, 
providing the most vital assistance - saving your game - for free. In 
the DKC TV show however, she seems to get irritated really easily, and 
it sometimes appears that she only goes out with DK because he is the 
future ruler of the island. Dixie is not like this thankfully, but she 
seems a lot different personality wise to how she was in DKC2 and 3. In 
the game she had a real adventurous spirit, embarking apon an epic 
quest with Diddy, her boyfriend. The two exploreduncharted regions of 
Crocodile Isle on their way to defeating K. Rool and rescuing Donkey 
Kong. Since then Dixie has lost some of her spunk, as in the show she 
is often depicted as a loner, with only her crustacean pets (which she 
often loses) to keep her company. As this suggests, Diddy pays less 
attention to her and it barely ever seems like they are 
boyfriend/girlfriend anymore. They made such a cute couple too :,(

All in all I'm really glad that Candy and Dixie were included in the 
show, and Donkey Kong Country would certainly not have been the same if 
they weren't, but I can't help but think that their appearance and 
attitudes have changed too much.
