Orange

Orange Grenades are basic weapons in Donkey Kong 64. Orange Grenades look like generic oranges with a pin similar to those found on real grenades at the top. There is also a green version that some enemies use, such as Klumps and Zingers. To throw an Orange Grenade, the player has to hold Z and press C-right. The Kongs can also throw Orange Grenades while in midair.

Orange Grenades are useful for getting through tough barriers and defeating certain enemies. Orange Grenades also appear in Multiplayer Mode. However, they can also be used to utilize an attack identical to the one that Kasplats use. Krusha also uses Orange Grenades as ammo for his Orange Grenade Launcher.

They are first obtained in one of Cranky Kong's training barrels, and are automatically set to a maximum limit of 20. After freeing a certain amount of Banana Fairies, the limit is upgraded to 25, then 30.
