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 flatten him, as it becomes as large as the heart of whoever hit it.
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]] 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 tells the gate Luigi did the exact opposite and Baby Mario hammers it.

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. Baby Mario picks the pancake plumber up, and the Star Gate opens.
==Trivia==
*The [[Save Block]]s in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series look like an Aurora Block with an "S" inside of them.
