'''Oranges''' have functional purposes in a number of games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]], most commonly in the form of obtainable items.

Oranges can defeat most enemies and knock down fragile fences. An orange can be thrown by pressing {{button|n64|Cright}} while holding {{button|n64|Z}},<ref name=squawks/> and one of the [[Training Barrel]] challenges is for Donkey Kong to throw five oranges.<ref name=squawks/> Only up to twenty oranges can be carried at first, but there are two purchasable ammo belt upgrades at [[Funky's Store]] that increase the maximum capacity to 25 and 30, respectively. [[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.

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.

Oranges have only minor roles in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], indistinct from other fruits in the minigames they appear in. In [[Honeycomb Havoc]] of ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' (also returning in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''), they are one of the fruits to catch. In [[Fruits of Doom]] of ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', they are a potential fruit on Bowser's list.

===''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''===

A giant orange appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'' as the goal at the end of [[Silver Snow Peak]] and [[Sky Garden (level)|Sky Garden]] in the [[Orange Kingdom]].

In the Freestyle Zone of ''[[Donkey Konga 3 JP]]'', artwork of an orange from ''Donkey Kong 64'' may appear as the player drums the [[Nintendo GameCube#DK Bongos|DK Bongos]].

Oranges appear in ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'' as the main feature of the [[Orange Picker]] minigame, where [[Donkey Kong]] has to climb from them to earn points.

Orange slices appear as collectibles in the [[Bonus Game (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Bonus Games]] of ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', each being worth fifty [[bead]]s, like most other collectible fruit.

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