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.

[[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.

In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', oranges are among the objects that players can catch without losing in the minigame [[Honeycomb Havoc]]. They also appear in the minigame's later renditions in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''.

In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', oranges appear in the [[Bowser]] minigame [[Fruits of Doom]] as one of the potential fruits on Bowser's list.

In ''[[Donkey Konga 3 JP]]'', the ''Donkey Kong 64'' artwork of an orange appears briefly in Freestyle Zone as one of the images that appear onscreen as the player freely drums on the [[Nintendo GameCube#DK Bongos|DK Bongos]].

===''DK: Jungle Climber''===

In ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', oranges appear in the minigame [[Orange Picker]], where the objective is for [[Donkey Kong]] to climb from oranges to earn points.

In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', orange slices appear in [[Bonus Game (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Bonus Games]] as collectibles. Like most other collectable fruit in a Bonus Game, each orange slice is worth 50 [[bead]]s.

 

In ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', five orange papier-mâché [[List of crafts in Yoshi's Crafted World|crafts]] appear on the flip side of [[Jungle Tour Challenge]]. They are one of the souvenir hunt requests from the [[Rumble Jungle]] [[Blockafeller]].
