Toads have multiple lives.
You know throughout the Mario games, the Toads have been shown to have multiple lives and be playable characters themselves. People say that Mario kills the Toads every time he smashes a block.
What's to say something like this can't happen?
Mario jumps up and hits a block smashing it. Suddenly a Toad appeared a short distance in front of him.
"Uh….hi." Mario said.
"Hello, I'm the block you just smashed. I had another life."
"Uhh…sorry?"
"Ah…don't worry about it. I was bored of being a block. Thanks for freeing me!"
"No problem!" Mario smiled.
