L Blocks,[citation needed] also known as Luigi Blocks,[1] are a type of block exclusive to the Mario & Luigi series. They are very similar to the ? Blocks, though only Luigi or Baby Luigi can activate them. M Blocks are similar to these blocks; however, M Blocks can be activated only by Mario or Baby Mario. In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, L Blocks are often used to solve puzzles. In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, they can be found scattered through different places. In Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, they are mainly used for minigames to earn Attack Pieces. Both L Blocks and M Blocks contain items for the Mario Bros. to collect, and have been grouped together with ? Blocks as Treasure Blocks.[2]

Only a single L Block appears in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, where it is found behind the gate on Rumbla Island, where it must be reached by using Luigi Logic. Upon being activated by Luigi, the gate's reminding bars retract, allowing the Mario Bros. to progress. Additionally, there are various L Buttons throughout Concordia that can only be activated with Luigi's Hammer.

A similar block known as "Cap Block L," along with Cap Blocks M and W, was originally going to appear in Super Mario 64 DS and contained Luigi's cap, but the blocks were removed.[3] They can still be found in a test level.[4]
