Toy Block Tower is set, as its name implies, on a toy block tower. It is a fairly easy level in the Topaz Passage.

Stage Specific Gimmicks[edit]

From left to the right: Triangle Block, Square Block, Cat Block, and the Block Gate.
  • Triangle Block and Block Gate: These will come in pairs. You shall pick up the yellow Triangle Block and try to fit it in the hole above the Block Gate. Doing so will make the gate open.
  • Square Block: These blue blocks cannot be destroyed or pushed. They will fall down if nothing is below. Wario will not be damaged by these blocks, but can simply crouch out.
  • Round Block: These red Round Blocks cannot be destroyed. Slamming them will push forward by a bit. Mainly used as stepping platforms.
  • Cat Block: While they act like common blocks, if you leave the room and come back, they will respawn at the same place. If there was a Square Block above, it will also reset.

Normal Version[edit]

  • Room 1: You will learn the physical spec of the special blocks. Use the Triangle Block to open Door A and enter.
  • Room A: Another Triangle Block. Use it to enter Door B. You will return from Door C on the right, then enter Door D above. Do not forget the Gems.
  • Room B: Here is the first Stone Chest. You will see the new enemy, the Mini-Wario in a car with sharp front, just stomp or slam from behind to defeat him. To the right is another Mini-Wario and a Round Block. Push the block into the hole in order to get 550 Gems above. Leave from Door C.
  • Room D: More Cat Blocks. Break all of them to reveal Door E on the right, and gain the access to the pipe to Bonus Room 2 on the left. You will return to Door F from basement, with a Mini-Wario. From here, go up, there are two shafts above. You shall take the left one by pushing the Round Block, for another Mini-Wario and 600 Gems, while the right shaft has nothing. There are two more Mini-Warios on the top. Leave from Door G.
  • Room E: Collect the Gems, break the floor to the lower portion for the second Stone Chest, then return to Room D via Door F.
  • Bonus Room 2: Go below the green switch, quickly headbutt it twice so that the two Square Blocks land on the lower trigger blocks. Then super charge to the left to break in the room with Heart Chest.
  • Room G: In order to claim the 350 Gems above, leave the middle Cat Block and break the other two, then climb from the right. Follow the Gems on the right to fall down, into Room 3.
  • Room 3: First, break all wooden blocks so that all Square Blocks are on the ground. Then, from the right end, super charge to the left to break the hard block, revealing a Big Diamond. Now run all the way to the right in front of Door H, turn around and run again, jump on the platform and run over the Cat Blocks before the Square Blocks close the way. Shall you have succeeded, you will be able to claim 540 Gems and a Heart at the balcony. Now enter Door H.
  • Room H: Take out the Mini-Wario and move to the right. Here, face right and catch fire from the Fire Statue, then keep running until you are full burnt, in order to clear the fire block. Now go to the right side and clear the Mini-Warios first, then return to the same Fire Statue, run to the right side and climb the platforms, in order to discover 190 Gems. Use the other Fire Statue on the right to discover the Triangle Block, and bring it to top floor to open Door I. Before leaving, run to the right to discover a hidden pipe to Bonus Room 4.
  • Bonus Room 4: Climb up and push the Round Block down the slope, so that you can gain enough height to break the hard block on the left. Then, super charge the hard block on the right, and push the Round Block to the hole below the Big Diamond. Now grab the goods.
  • Room I: Break both Cat Blocks on the left, and the upper one on the right, then climb up, and fall to the left, entering Door J.
  • Room J: You will find the third Stone Chest. Catch the fire and break the block on the left to fall below. There is an odd normal block among some Cat Blocks, so keep the lowest row of Cat Blocks, and break others to reveal Door K. Once you are back, take out the Mini-Wario on the right, and activate the Frog Switch. Hurry up! Now climb from the right and return to Room I.
  • Room K: A small room with 100 Gems and three Mini-Warios. Collect them all.
  • Room I (revisited): Break both Cat Blocks on the left, then climb up, claim the before trapped Key Ghost, and enter the pipe below to fall through Room H, into Room 5.
  • Room 5: You will land on the fourth Stone Chest. Use it to get 330 Gems on the left before opening it. Instead of falling down, go left and crouch-jump into the passage to Room 6.
  • Room 6: Jump to the upper platform and break both Cat Blocks to release the Square Block, then use it to reach the Big Diamond on the left. Now fall off this room or from Room 5, to reach Room 7 below.
  • Room 7: If you come from Room 5, clear the extra blocks. You will find Block Door L and a Round Block below. Ignore them first and move left, take out the Mini-Wario, and run through some blocks to find the Triangle Block. Carry it to the right, jump on the Round Block and fit the triangle to open Room L, revealing nothing but the CD Chest. Before leaving from the leftmost pipe, above the Triangle Block is two more Mini-Warios and some Gems, and a narrow passage to a portion with a Big Diamond.
  • Room E (revisited): You appear at the basement. Now go through Room D, A and Room 1 and escape.

Super Hard Version[edit]

Only the differences from hard version will be listed.

  • Room A: Two more Square Blocks are in the way.
  • Room B: No Stone Chest or Round Block, but the room is flooded with Mini-Warios.
  • Room D: The basement has two Mini-Warios, and there are more above. The Big Diamond in hard version does not appear.
  • Bonus Room 2: The left Square Block is removed. Instead of Heart Chest, you will find a Big Diamond.
  • Room G: The first Stone Chest is at the platform above. However, since there is a Square Block at the right end, you shall simply break all Cat Blocks to reach it.
  • Room 3: All Square Blocks on the left are removed, thus, you shall keep enough normal blocks to make a path. A Square Block on the right limits the running distance in order to get the second Stone Chest.
  • Room H: At the place where the Triangle Block was placed in normal mode, there is the third Stone Chest. More Mini-Warios are roaming.
  • Bonus Room 4: The Big Diamond is one block higher, thus, do not push the Round Block into the hole if you wish to get the diamond.
  • Room I: A Mini-Wario is trapped with Key Ghost. There is an odd Square Block on the right of Door J.
  • Room K: For some reason, the layout is same as in normal version.
  • Room 5: Two Mini-Warios are roaming.
  • Room 6: The Square Block is removed. In order to obtain the fourth Stone Chest, fall down to Room 7 to find a Malletape first.
  • Room 7: Two Malletapes and some Mini-Warios are roaming. The Round Block is at left corner and cannot be pushed, so that you must use the Mini-Warios to make Goomba-Jumps to reach Door L.
