The '''Aurora Block''' is a rainbow-colored block used in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. It has the ability to grow to match the size of the heart of the person who strikes it, and it is celebrated in the [[Star Realm]]. The [[Star Temple gate]] tasks [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]] to find the Aurora Block, due to Luigi not passing his test of worthiness.
During the events of ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'', [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]], and [[Baby Luigi]] find a talking gate at the [[Star Shrine]] who tells them that they cannot continue unless he "reads" them to see if they're worthy or not. Although courageous Mario passes the gate's test easily, chicken-hearted Luigi is not as fortunate. The star gate gives them three options:  go home and eat some pasta [[wikipedia:Spaghetti alla puttanesca|puttanesca]], continue without Luigi, or find the elusive Aurora Block.
 
The team quickly chooses the third option and sets off to find the ominous Block. The quartet discovers it quite easily, but Luigi finds himself unable to hit it, with the block moving out of the way whenever he tries. The gate then asks Luigi who did the work of finding it: Mario, the babies, or Luigi himself. Ironically, the correct answer was the whole team, which was not a choice. Luigi tries reasoning with the gate, but it talks back by calling Luigi a liar and continues to sass him until he starts crying. Mario then bluntly claims Luigi was telling the truth.

After that, the [[Star Gate]] finally comes clean and reveals that this was all just a test to measure their brotherly togetherness. He then gives them the titles of "best siblings ever" and tells them that they're all ready to proceed to the rest of the Star Shrine. Best of all, the gate lets the confused Luigi hit the Aurora Block, which he does hastily. However, it is then that the gate chooses to tell Luigi that the Aurora Block can grow to the size of the heart of the person who hit it, and, after he says this, the block turns gigantic and comically flattens Luigi (who now resembles Baby Luigi in [[Baby Cakes|Baby-cake]] form). Baby Mario picks the pancake plumber up, and the Star Gate opens.


When they find the block, Luigi is unable to hit it, with the block moving out of the way whenever he tries. The Star Gate thus asks Luigi who found the block: him, Mario or the babies. After three attempts to give an answer, the gate angrily says that the correct answer was the fourth, "Everyone!", then accuses Luigi of lying for pointing out the contradiction. After Luigi bursts into tears, Mario angrily objects and defends his brother, saying that he was not lying. However, the Star Gate reveals that the task is just a test to measure their brotherly togetherness, and he then allows Luigi to hit the block, causing it to turn gigantic and comically flatten him, as it becomes as large as the heart of whomever hit it.

The Aurora Block
M&LPiT Aurora Block Sprite.png
“It's a rare block. Its presence has long been celebrated by denizens of the Star Realm. That is an important thing, for if you are able to find the Aurora Block and strike it... I will acknowledge the green man of mustache's courage and cooperative spirit.”
—Star Temple gate, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

The Aurora Block is a rainbow-colored block used in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. It has the ability to grow to match the size of the heart of the person who strikes it, and it is celebrated in the Star Realm. The Star Temple gate tasks Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi to find the Aurora Block, due to Luigi not passing his test of worthiness.

When they find the block, Luigi is unable to hit it, with the block moving out of the way whenever he tries. The Star Gate thus asks Luigi who found the block: him, Mario or the babies. After three attempts to give an answer, the gate angrily says that the correct answer was the fourth, "Everyone!", then accuses Luigi of lying for pointing out the contradiction. After Luigi bursts into tears, Mario angrily objects and defends his brother, saying that he was not lying. However, the Star Gate reveals that the task is just a test to measure their brotherly togetherness, and he then allows Luigi to hit the block, causing it to turn gigantic and comically flatten him, as it becomes as large as the heart of whomever hit it.
