I don't remember it being in a direct, but there's this quite from Tezuka. It makes a little more sense in this context-- maybe the Direct was trying to convey the same idea of emphasizing exploration over techniques, but just did it in the clunkiest way possible?

From a GamesRadar article by Nick Thorpe: "One of the other things the new star allowed the Nintendo EAD team to do was make an adjustment to the difficulty of the game. "Unlike the Mario series, we tried to give the gameplay a more gentle and relaxed pacing, as opposed to turning it into a platformer that requires players to master tricky techniques," explains Tezuka. "So, for example, there's no time limit on the stages, and it's a little easier to control Yoshi's jumps as he flutter jumps unlike Mario. As we were adding in these little adjustments, we came up with the idea of having some exploration elements as part of the gameplay and slowly the game took shape."
