'''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."

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 have functional purposes in a number of games of the Super Mario franchise, most commonly in the form of obtainable items.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong 64[edit]

“Squawk! Pick up the oranges and hold Z Button, then press Right C Button to throw them.”
Squawks, Donkey Kong 64
An Orange in Donkey Kong 64.

Oranges,[1][2] or more descriptively Orange Grenades,[3] appear in Donkey Kong 64 as throwable explosives that resemble regular oranges but have a grenade pin on top. Oranges can defeat most enemies and knock down fragile fences. An orange can be thrown by pressing Right C Button while holding Z Button,[2] and one of the Training Barrel challenges is for Donkey Kong to throw five oranges.[2] 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. Klumps can throw green oranges to attack, and Mechanical Zingers and some Zingers 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 Robokremlings. 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.[4] This was fixed inherently with the Virtual Console release on Wii U, because the system has a more consistent frame rate.

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