“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.”

The Aurora Block is an object in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. This rainbow-colored block 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 the gate's test of worthiness.

When the four Mario Bros. find the block, Luigi is unable to hit it, with the block moving out of the way whenever he tries. The Star Temple 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 starts crying, Mario angrily objects and defends him, saying that Luigi was not lying. However, the Star Temple gate reveals that the task is just a test to measure their brotherly togetherness, and the gate 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 whoever hit it.
