A 4-Bros. Random Block[1] is a special variety of Random Block in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. It is a yellow ? Block with a circle of light orbiting it. It requires a piggyback jump to hit. When struck, the block spawns two red and two green blocks, with the letters A, B, X, and Y on them. Each member of the Mario quartet stands under his appropriate block. The circle of light goes in a random block, and that Mario Bro. must jump to produce ten coins. The circle then moves to another brother's block, and the process continues, eventually getting faster and faster until a brother fails to hit the block.

It is possible to strike the block up to 50 times before it automatically stops, but it will stop earlier if a brother takes too long to hit his block or the wrong brother strikes his own block.
