In 1991, Shigeru Miyamoto claimed that the reason Yoshi did not appear on the NES was that it was not technically possible. A 1995 unauthorized port of Super Mario World to the NES shows it is very much possible, suggesting the real reason could have been more complex.
![It is well known that Shigeru Miyamoto wanted Mario to ride a dinosaur ever since Super Mario Bros., as seen in concept art from 1985. However, in a 1991 Nintendo Power interview he claimed it had been impossible to do it on the NES due to technical limitations.
[Excerpt from interview]
A good example is Yoshi the dinosaur who just appeared in Super Mario World. We wanted to have Mario ride a dinosaur ever since we finished the original Super Mario Bros., but it was impossible technically. We were finally able to get Yoshi off the drawing boards with the Super NES.
Interestingly, an unauthorized 1995 port of Super Mario World to the NES showed that it was very much possible to have Yoshi without any additional hardware with most of his functionality.
He hatches from an egg, then grows from a baby.
He can be ridden in any power-up form and correctly reflects this.
He can eat enemies and spit out objects.
He can be dismounted and will run away when Mario is hit; he also persists outside the screen.
As such, here are some possibilities of what Miyamoto could have meant:
-While Yoshi can be implemented on the NES, he uses up the sprite limit. It is not possible to have both Yoshi and many enemies on screen without flickering.
-He also contributes to slowdown. It may not be possible to have both Yoshi and many objects in the game's memory at a constant framerate.
-Nintendo genuinely did not know how to do this in 1989/1990 while developing the game, and advances in understanding of code allowed the bootleggers to do it 5 years later.
Note that in the NES version of Mario is Missing (1993), Luigi is riding Yoshi, but he has
virtually no functionality except walking and jumping, so it is not comparable in scope.
