Orange

Oranges are fruits that 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 franchise[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

Oranges, or more descriptively Orange Grenades,^[1] 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, and one of the Training Barrel challenges is for Donkey Kong to throw five oranges. Only up to 20 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 orange without taking harm and then belches. However, throwing oranges at Klumps defeats them, while 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.^[2] This was fixed inherently with the Virtual Console release on the Wii U, because the system has a more consistent frame rate.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat[edit ]

A giant orange appears in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat as the goal at the end of Silver Snow Peak and Sky Garden in the Orange Kingdom.

Donkey Konga 3[edit ]

In the Freestyle Zone of Donkey Konga 3 , artwork of an orange from Donkey Kong 64 may appear as the player drums the DK Bongos.

DK: Jungle Climber[edit ]

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.

Donkey Kong Bananza[edit ]

In Donkey Kong Bananza , large, cubic oranges appear in the Resort Layer, alongside pears and strawberries. Donkey Kong can either tear off or punch their flesh to recover health, or hit a green button on top with a Dive Punch to cause the entire fruit to explode and reveal whatever is underneath.

Mario Party series[edit ]

Oranges have only minor roles in the 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.

Nintendo Land[edit ]

Oranges are one of the types of fruit which appear in the Yoshi's Fruit Cart attraction in Nintendo Land . An orange also appears as an unlockable prize at the Nintendo Land Plaza.

Yoshi franchise[edit ]

Yoshi's Woolly World[edit ]

Orange slices appear as collectibles in the Bonus Games of Yoshi's Woolly World , each being worth fifty beads, like most other collectible fruit.

Yoshi's Crafted World[edit ]

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