¿Esto suena natural? Many marbles were being thrown into the mud by the naughty boy.

Poco natural
"A lot of" marbles would be preferred to "many" in a regular positive sentence. Also I'd personally use the active voice in this case, speaking normally/casually. "The naughty boy was throwing a lot of/a bunch of marbles into the mud". The sentence you wrote is fine if you want more of a riddle/rhyme-y vibe, but not for normal speech.

It’s a fine example of the passive voice.

It's perfect if you want to insist on the fact that the naughty boy is doing it at this moment particularly !
