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 [[Mario]], [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] has enough courage to pass the gate's test easily, Luigi is not as fortunate. The star gate gives them three options:  go home and eat some pasta, continue without Luigi, or find the Aurora Block.

The team chooses the third option and sets off to find the Block. They discover it quite easily, but Luigi is unable to hit it, with the block moving out of the way whenever he tries. The gate then asks Luigi a trick question that he can't answer and is rude to Luigi afterwards, causing him to cry. Mario then stands up for Luigi.

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. 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.


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.
