They say, "you mean it's just sounds?" thinking that for something to just be a sound is to be useless, whereas I love sounds just as they are, and I have no need for them to be anything more than what they are.
Serious answer though it's a bit of surrealism/symbolism at play. You're meant to understand the basic idea that Mario is destroying the castle *in some way* (or perhaps that he already has destroyed it, "destroy" here being a kind of symbolic destruction when "the castle" is understood to be the enemies who control it), and the way this idea is represented through an animation that defies your expectations of reality is meant to elicit some combination of awe and merriment in the player (and/or the other viewers).
