The revelation that bricks and evil plants are actually Toads makes some sense. You are Mario! It's up to you to save the Mushroom People from the black magic of the Koopa!

Mario, the hero of this story (maybe), hears about the Mushroom People's plight and sets out on a quest to free the Mushroom Princess from the evil Koopa and restore the fallen kingdom of the Mushroom People. Unfortunately, she is presently in the hands of the great Koopa turtle king. The only one who can undo the magic spell on the Mushroom People and return them to their normal selves is the Princess Toadstool, the daughter of the Mushroom King. The quiet, peace-loving Mushroom People were turned into mere stones, bricks, and even field horse-hair plants, and the Mushroom Kingdom fell into ruin. One day, the kingdom of the peaceful mushroom people was invaded by the Koopa, a tribe of turtles famous for their black magic.

This is taken directly from the manual for Super Mario Bros.: The real backstory for Mario and Mushroom Kingdom is actually pretty dark. His was the only audition tape that they sent back to Nintendo headquarters, and he's voiced our favorite plumber from that point on. He says, "I started talking and didn't stop talking until the tape ran out." It turns out it was good that he showed up. Initially, Martinet intended to go with a stereotypical rough New Yorker accent but changed to a lighter approach as he figured that would be a more friendly character for the children he might be interacting with. His job would be speaking to people of all ages as they passed by. So, make up a voice, make up a video game, and start talking, and when you stop, that's your audition." They further explained that they'd be using this real-time animation system where he'd have points glued to his face to make a cartoon Mario face on the tradeshow floor respond to his own facial movements. They explained, "you're an Italian plumber from Brooklyn, a character in a video game for Nintendo called Mario. Fortunately, they still allowed him to try out the role. When Martinet showed up, the audition crew had already starting to put away their gear. It's all thanks to a friend who urged him to go to an audition at a Las Vegas tradeshow that he had not been invited to.
