Aaron Horvath, one of the directors of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, explained in an interview that the floating blocks in the film are made of a mineral called "floatanium" that is mined by the Toads in the Mushroom Kingdom. While this explanation was not included in the film, it offers some insight into the mechanics of the Mario universe.
