Then Smithy must have put the blocks in his own castle. BTW, I still havn't had a chance to play through the whole game.

Well, spoiler:
He's in another dimension, and would have no reason to, so I seriously doubt it.

Maybe Smithy Uses Power ups or just like Bowser he practically wants Mario to get to him armed

Doubt it, considering that Smithy could care less for a challenge. He just wants to destroy all who oppose him.

So then maybe they were supposed to be for his soldiers

Doubt that too, since
A) I doubt a robot could use most of the items in the blocks, and
B) It'd be much more cost-effective to use one of the thousands of mass-produced ones in his factory if they broke down.

Then what is the reason

I explained it. There isn't one. They are just magic pockets that form with an excess.

Well, in the Zelda universe, Link finds hearts and arrows in grass, rocks, and even other people's pottery. It was explained by saying the Minish, a race of ant-sized people, put them there as a gift for the big people to find.
Maybe there's a similar undetectable race in the Marioverse, placing blocks and powerups around the land for people to use. Some of them are in suspiciously convenient locations, especially Save Blocks and Heart Blocks. It would also explain how the contents of blocks (and even the blocks themselves) reappear when Mario leaves the scene and later returns in some games (as well as other things like muffed-up puzzles).

Maybe Toads who have gotten mini mushrooms?

I never said they had to be tiny. Just somehow undetectable by most people. So they could be invisible, non-corporeal, or even flipped.

And how do they enter parallel dimensions long before Mario opens the portal to them?
Wait, come to think of it, how in the world did the Toad shopkeeper get in Smithy's factory anyway?

If you have the technology/magical ability to predict the future needs of a hero, you can probably travel around the entire Mushroom Universe.

Minish people? Nice idea. I was going for the ancient relics idea (since they always appear with the obviously built brick blocks), but this works too.

I like that idea about small or invisible people

They could come from Toad's Factory in Mario Kart Wii.

Maybe, but I doubt it. After all I never saw a question mark block manufacturing device on the track.

I think ? Blocks are much older than the factory is.

? mark blocks probably existed before Mario even got to the Mushroom Kingdom, so considering that we don't even know when Toad's Factory was started, ((Who gave Toad enough money to build a factory the size of a race course anyway)) we can't be sure about when Toad's Factory was created, but I doubt it was there during the time of Super Mario Bros.

WHAT!!! You say Super Mario Bros. 3 is better than Super Mario World!!! Why I oughta...
