[[Klump]]s can throw green oranges to attack, and [[Mechanical Zinger]]s and some [[Zinger]]s can drop them overhead to attack. In one of Klump's animations while being a distance away, it eats an oranges without taking harm and then belches. However, throwing oranges at Klumps defeats them, whilst regular physical moves do not, like with [[Robokremling]]s. In the Multiplayer mode, [[Krusha]]'s weapon is the [[orange grenade launcher]], but it shoots oranges that do not function like grenades but cause an identical shockwave attack to a [[Kasplat]]'s instead.
| | '''Oranges''', also known as '''Orange Grenades'''<ref>Bogenn, Tim, and Ken Schmidt. ''Donkey Kong 64'' Official Strategy Guide. Page 4.</ref>, are explosive fruit and collectible weapons that appear in every level of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. They look like regular oranges but have a grenade pin on top. The active [[Kong]] can throw oranges if the player presses {{button|n64|Cright}} while holding {{button|n64|Z}}, including while in mid-air. Oranges first appear in one of the [[Training Barrel]]s, to teach the player on how to throw oranges. By default, the Kongs can only carry up to 20 oranges, but by purchasing 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. |

| The game experiences slowdown while an orange explodes, though this can be exploited to bypass the collision detection of certain walls, such as the one blocking the entrance to the [[Angry Aztec]] lobby.<ref>{{cite|title=Lag|author=Balaam|date=August 4, 2018|publisher=YouTube|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=c20scWL3xIE|language=en|accessdate=November 11, 2024}}</ref> This was fixed inherently with the [[Virtual Console]] release on [[Wii U]], because the system has a more consistent frame rate.
| | [[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 the orange, the Klump belches. The Kong can only defeat Klumps and [[Robokremling]]s by throwing an orange at them. |

| | Oranges also appear as a weapon in 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]] weapon. |

In [[Fruits of Doom]] of ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', they are a potential fruit on Bowser's list. | |

| | *The explosion from oranges cause 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 framerate. |
