A type of Power-Up that rewards you for collecting a number of letters to spell a word. Typically the letters do not have to be obtained in order, but will automatically move to their correct places on the status bar. This trope goes back to the "spot letter" targets found on many pinball games. Spelling a sequence of letters (such as A-B-C-D-E) or key words (such as T-R-O-P-E) yielded various bonuses. Compare Charged Attack, Every 10,000 Points, Set Bonus. Non-game media may invoke Boggles the Mind instead. |

Lunistice: Each act of each stage has the four letters of Hana's name scattered around it for her to collect. Collecting all four unlocks a secret bonus area near the goal, where the player can collect a key in the first act and a file in the second. This, of course, does not apply to guest characters and their bonus stages. | |

In the vector game based on The Empire Strikes Back, each of the four stages had a bonus goal (in addition to surviving the stage) which awarded a letter in J-E-D-I when completed. Completing the word awarded temporary invincibility at the start of the next stage. As each letter was specific to a stage, it could be worth it to deliberately avoid the bonus in the third stage the first time through so that, rather than waste the invincibility on the relatively easy first stage, it could instead be used on the punishingly difficult fourth stage of each level. | |

Donkey Kong Country: K-O-N-G appears in every level. Collect all four letters to win an extra life. In Donkey Kong Land, collecting K-O-N-G instead saves the game. Donkey Kong Country: The level Misty Mine has an interesting take on this; All four K-O-N-G letters are in a single bonus area. Also, the secret bonus-area-within-a-bonus-area requires you to hit the spinning letters in "DONKEY" in the correct order for a 1-Up, then do the same with "KONG" for a 2-Up, and finally with "COUNTRY" for a 3-up. Donkey Kong Country Returns: The K-O-N-G letters instead grant a token, and getting all the tokens from a single world opens up a Brutal Bonus Level. In some bonus rooms, letters appear in a circle. You have to touch the letters as they blink in order to get the animal token, life balloon or other bonus. |

Mega Man (Classic) Collecting the letters M-E-G-A-M-A-N-V from each stage in Mega Man 5 unlocked Beat as a weapon power. Beat came back in Mega Man 6, where you needed to collect B-E-A-T from four stages, which you got by finding a hidden boss room and beating the level that way. Mega Man 7: Collecting R-U-S-H in the first four Robot Masters' stages unlocks the Super Adapter, which allows a Double Jump and Rocket Punch, but disables sliding. |

Word Rescue: Predictably enough for an Edutainment Game centered around teaching words and their meanings, gives a 500 point bonus for collecting the letters for one of that level's vocabulary words, which is randomly chosen at the start of the level, but only if collected in the correct order. Individual letters in the wrong order don't yield any more points than the generic book collectibles. It also has the added bonus of completely filling the slime meter, giving the player more ammunition against enemy Gruzzles who force players to restart the level from the beginning upon contact. | |

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater has dozens of these, scattered across the games (mostly the early ones). The first few games had you collect the letters S-K-A-T-E. Later games would include collecting the letters C-O-M-B-O, but you had to get them all in one trick combination, meaning that if you stopped doing tricks while getting the letters, you would have to try again. |

In The Burkiss Way, the skit on Dracula has the innocent London lawyer Jonathan Harker receiving a mysterious series of letters from a possible client in Transylvania. The problem is that as he keeps meaning to install a bigger letter box but never quite gets round to it, he's literally receiving only one letter at a time. He and his wife try to decode them and decide they spell "Urgent documents to sing, Fats". They are initially put out that after all the effort, they've received mail meant for Fats Waller. | |

In addition some of these letters adds additional points to the End of Ball Bonus. The Final Castle Table gives the G-O-B-L-I-N letters an additional function at the final challenge... |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: When activated, "Destiny Board" remains on the field and allows the player to place one "Spirit Message" card each turn. When all five Spell Card Zones are occupied, spelling out D-E-A-T-H (or F-I-N-A-L in the English release), the player instantly wins the game. It's somewhat difficult to pull off, both because the effect forces you to avoid using your Spell Card Zones for anything else, and because destroying one letter destroys all of them. "Hero Flash!!" (formerly "HERO Flash!!") is an Elemental Hero support card activated by banishing four other Elemental Hero support cards from your Graveyard - "H - Heated Heart", "E - Emergency Call", "R - Righteous Justice" and "O - Oversoul". |

Bubble Bobble: If a player pops enough bubbles to spell E-X-T-E-N-D (there are two E's in different colors), they win an extra life and the game automatically advances to the next stage. Other Taito games did this as well, most notably The NewZealand Story (except in the Nintendo Entertainment System version, which had 1-Up items instead). That one also gave you an extra life for ten of the same letter. The NES version of Rainbow Islands had a variation. The original arcade version displayed the actual rainbow gems that are collected in the game. The NES version turns it into this kind of bonus, with the word being "RAINBOW" (although the items themselves are still gems). |

Inverted in the Fighting Fantasy book Temple of Terror. Your objective is to find five artifacts hidden within the titular temple; however, the Big Bad sends an assassin known only as the Messenger of Death after you. The Messenger hides each letter of the word "DEATH" in random locations throughout the temple; if you see all five letters, then you die instantly (each individual letter also has a penalty to your SKILL and STAMINA scores if you see it). | |
