Toy boxes[1][2] are objects in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series.
History
Mario vs. Donkey Kong
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 
to carry it up high as they complete the level.
In the remake, Mario simply needs to lure the Mini-Marios into the toy box then press 
to obtain it, as it will close on its own after the Mini-Marios are led into the toy box itself. They will also appear chained with a silver lock in multiplayer, which requires a silver flying key to unlock before it can be used.
