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.

| '''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.
