The 'world' that we encounter within the game's courses are actually creations of Bowser, as explained in the Super Mario 64 instruction booklet, and also by Toads that you speak to inside the castle will also say that it is a world that Bowser created with the power of the stars.

It turns out there's a mistake in the Super Mario 64 logo that few might have noticed.
