The '''Star Gate''' is a character in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. It is the gateway to the [[Star Shrine]], and only allows the pure of heart to pass. Those who are deemed unworthy, or without purpose will not be allowed to pass. The [[Mario Bros.]] and [[Baby Mario Bros.]] had to go to the Star Shrine, as the Star Sprite told them that there is a [[Cobalt Star|Cobalt Star Shard]]. However, the path was blocked by the Star Gate. It told the four that they must be deemed worthy to pass. It read [[Mario|Mario's]] heart, and stated that Mario is a brave, honorable hero, and that he cares for his brother very much. Although it recommended Mario watch his diet. It then reads [[Luigi|Luigi's]] heart, and all it said was "Good Luck out there". Luigi did not like the sounds of this, and wanted to hear more. But, the Star Gate said that if it was to tell Luigi his secrets, then everyone will hear. Luigi then decided not to be told out loud. The Star Gate did not have to read the Babies' heart, as it knows that they are already pure. But the Star Gate claims Luigi was cowardly and therefore denied entry. Nevertheless, it offered them three choices to make up for his ignobleness: (1) go home to a healthy bowl of Puttanesca (2) leave Luigi behind or (3) find an ancient artifact called the [[Aurora Block]]. The group had no choice but to choose the third option. Once they found the Aurora Block, Luigi was told to hit, but it kept moving away from him (it is rumored that the gate itself made this happen). The Star Gate then told Luigi to stand before him and asked who was responsible for the accomplishment:

However, the Star Temple gate claims [[Luigi]] is not pure enough and therefore denies the group entry.

It forgot to tell Luigi that the Aurora Block takes on the size of the heart of the one who hit it. It then turns giant, squashing Luigi.

Star Temple gate, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time

The Star Temple gate,[1] or Stargate,[1] is a character in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, being the gateway to the Star Shrine. The Mario Bros. (both younger and older counterparts) go to the Star Shrine to search for one of the Cobalt Star shards. However, the path is blocked by the Star Temple gate, which tells them that they must be worthy enough to pass through—Mario's heart is read and classified pure, while the Star Temple gate did not have to read Baby Mario and Baby Luigi's hearts, as it knows that they are already pure as well. However, the Star Temple gate claims Luigi is not pure enough and therefore denies the group entry. Nevertheless, the gate tells them to find the Aurora Block, which can tell how pure one's heart is by hitting it. After they find the block, Luigi is told to hit it, but it keeps moving away when he tries. After this, the Star Temple gate asks who is responsible, the three options being:

  • "1. Mario!"
  • "2. The babies!"
  • "3. Me, me, ME!"

After choosing all three of them in any order, but to no avail, the Star Temple gate angrily roars out that it was "4. Everyone!", and wrongfully accuses Luigi of lying after the latter claims there were only three answers. The door then continues to insult Luigi until he breaks into tears, at which point an angered Mario objects and Baby Mario hammers the gate. After this, the Star Temple gate dubs them "the best siblings ever" and confesses that he was actually testing them to see how strong their brotherly bond is. He finally allows Luigi to hit the Aurora Block and it flattens him. The Star Temple gate deems all four brothers worthy to enter the Star Shrine, including Luigi.
