Toy boxes[1][2] are objects in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series.
History[edit]
Mario vs. Donkey Kong[edit]
Toy boxes are objects first appearing in Mario vs. Donkey Kong and its Nintendo Switch remake. They appear in every Mini-Mario level. When the player starts a Mini-Mario level, two Toads appear, carrying a toy box. They then both throw it in the sky, and it drops to the ground in an area of the Mini-Mario level. When Mario successfully retrieves all the Mini-Marios in the level, he must lure all of them into the toy box. After this, Mario has to first close and lock the toy box by jumping on top of it, and then the player must press 
(
in the remake) to carry it up high as they complete the level.
In the remake, the toy box closes on its own after all surviving Mini-Marios are put into the toy box. Otherwise, the player can still close the toy box on its own by standing on it, and can also complete the level prematurely by picking it up if at least one Mini-Mario is in the toy box. In multiplayer, the toy box will be chained with a silver lock much like the ones on locked doors in this mode, requiring a silver flying key to unchain it before it can be opened and used.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem![edit]
Toy boxes are objects appearing in the minigame levels of Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!. In odd-numbered attractions, there are two types of toy boxes: score boxes[3] have a red border, yellow sides, and a star on the front, while Minus Boxes[3] have a grey border, black sides, and a red X symbol on the front. Dropping a Mini of any character into a score box earns points according to the multiplier below the score box, which is applied to the number of points that the Mini type is worth. Dropping Minis into a Minus Box instead subtracts points according to the Minus Box's multiplier. In even-numbered attractions, toy boxes instead feature a Mini's face on them, and dropping a Mini of a certain character into its corresponding toy box earns 100 points, while dropping a Mini into the incorrect toy box does not earn or subtract any points.
