| | '''Letters'''<ref>''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' instruction manual, page 27</ref> are collectibles that appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''. They function similarly to the [[KONG Letters]] from the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'']] series, but there are a total of three of them that spell out "TOY" and they only appear in the [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]] levels that are before the boss fight of each world, replacing the [[Present (Mario vs. Donkey Kong)|presents]] from the other levels. However, they do not appear in any of the plus levels in the game, despite Mini Marios appearing there. Only Mini Marios are able to collect letters, as [[Mario]] himself will simply pass through them. Each letter is worth 500 points, and when all three are collected in the level, the player will be able to unlock the [[Toy box (object)|toy box]] to complete the level. |

| '''Letter Blocks''', originally known as '''letters''',<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=2004|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' North American instruction booklet|page=27}}</ref> are collectibles that appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' and [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. In the original version, they appear as green blocks with striped red letters. There is a total of three Letter Blocks that spell out "TOY," considerably similar to the [[KONG Letters|K-O-N-G Letters]] from the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'']] series, and they appear only in the [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini-Mario]] levels before the boss fight of each world, replacing the [[present (Mario vs. Donkey Kong)|present]]s from the other [[level]]s. | |

| Letter Blocks do not appear in any of the plus levels. Letter Blocks can be collected only by Mini-Marios, and [[Mario]] passes through a Letter Block if he tries to collect it. Each Letter Block is worth 500 [[point]]s, and when all three are collected in the level, the [[Toy box (object)|toy box]] can be unlocked to complete the level. In the [[Nintendo Switch]] remake, the Letter Blocks' appearance have been changed to white-and-blue tiles with orange letters in the modern ''Super Mario'' [[List of fonts|typeface]], and they no longer give points when collected.
