| '''Oranges''' have functional purposes in a number of games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. In some of these games, the player can collect them or interact with them otherwise to earn [[point]]s, such as in [[minigame]]s. In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', oranges have an explosive property and are used as weapons by both the player characters and enemies.

| Oranges appear in ''Donkey Kong 64'' as an explosive [[fruit]] and collectible weapon that appears in every [[level]]. Oranges in this game look like regular oranges but have a grenade pin on top of each; owing to their appearance and function, the game's official strategy guide refers to them as '''Orange Grenades''',<ref>{{cite|publisher=Bradygames|date=1999|isbn=1-56686-909-9|language=en-us|author=Bogenn, Tim, and Ken Schmidt|title=''Donkey Kong 64'' Official Strategy Guide|page=4}}</ref> though in-game text simply renders them as "oranges." The active [[Kong]] can throw oranges if the player presses {{button|n64|Cright}} while holding {{button|n64|Z}}, including while in midair. Oranges first appear in one of the [[Training Barrel]]s, to teach the player on how to throw oranges. By default, the Kongs can carry up to only 20 oranges, but after the Kongs purchase ammo belt upgrades at [[Funky's Store]], the limit slightly increases to 25, and then another time to 30. Oranges can defeat most enemies and knock down certain fragile walls and fences. | | '''Oranges''' are explosive fruit and collectible weapons that appear in every level of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''.

| [[Klump]]s, [[Mechanical Zinger]]s, and some [[Zinger]]s attack with green oranges; Klumps throw them, while the Zingers drop them overhead. Klumps are sometimes seen eating oranges from afar, which they are shown to be unaffected by, because after swallowing an orange, a Klump belches. The Kong can defeat Klumps and [[Robokremling]]s only by throwing an orange at them.

| Oranges also appear as a weapon in the Multiplayer mode, where they create an identical shockwave attack to that of a [[Kasplat]]'s. [[Krusha]] also uses oranges as ammo for his [[orange grenade launcher]].

|
| The explosion from oranges causes the game to lag, which is compensated by speeding up the Kong. The lag can be abused to bypass the collision detection of certain walls, such as the one blocking the entrance to the [[Angry Aztec]] lobby. This is ineffective in the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console]] release, which has a more consistent frame rate.
