They certainly called who would play Mario. But they're wrong to say with no reason, these casting choices are absolutely deliberate and done in hopes of making the most money from the movie as possible. No parent unaware of the Mario games is gonna be tempted to bring their child to a movie starring some nobody they've ever heard of before like Charles Martinet. Tell that same parent the movie stars the likes of Chris Pratt and their ears will perk and they'll be more inclined to bring their child to the movie.
I’m pretty sure mario is more recognizable then chris pratt among parents, or at least close enough to where it wouldn’t really matter. But yes that’s definitely their reasoning as to why Chris Pratt is mario

Mario may be a worldwide recognized character, but a parent with no interest in the property does not care about that. They will go to a movie starring someone they recognize though. Clearly the move is to capitalize as much as possible and make the most money they can, so again the casting news totally makes sense and didn't happen "for no reason".
