Sprites of the three letters

There is a total of three Letter Blocks that spell out "TOY," considerably similar to the K-O-N-G Letters from the Donkey Kong Country series, and they appear only in the Mini-Mario levels before the boss fight of each world, replacing the presents from the other levels. 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 points, and when all three are collected in the level, the toy box can be unlocked to complete the level.
