Sir Evil accomplished this by somehow gaining control over the energy inside Mars, then releasing it en masse through the blue crystals. The crystals, designed only to slowly disperse the energy into the air, were unable to handle this energy and released it. As a result, nuclear explosions took place across the surface of the planet, transforming it into a barren wasteland. It should be noted that this event had nothing to do with the eventual destruction and recreation of Mars at the hands of Dokuma.
