After the "Super Mario Bros. Movie" was released, more story backgrounds about the characters of the Mario series were made public. Although fans have played "Mario" games for decades, many players are getting to know them for the first time. It turned out that the two Italian plumbers even had parents. The director of the film also explained the principle of the bricks suspended in the air in the film.
For gamers, it is no stranger to see bricks floating in the air in the Mario series of games, but for viewers who are new to the series, a reasonable explanation is needed.
Super Mario Bros. Movie director Aaron Horvath talked about this in an interview with Variety.

This natural mineral produced in the Mushroom Kingdom is mined by the Tonobios and used in various buildings.
