He's pointing. Just the 16-bit limitations make it hard to see but he does have one finger out in the game. It's only a couple pixels but it's there.

This is Super Mario World official art.

I am sorry you had to find out this way.
But no.

Mario is a monster.

I thought he was initially envisioned to punch Yoshi, but they changed it in the final game (to the still confusingly hit-like animation) because it was too crass.

So it almost ended up being canon, but isn't?

"Lots of people think that while Mario is pointing his finger foreward, he's saying 'Go,' and Yoshi's tongue comes out," said Hino. "However, the set up that I drew was that when Mario punches Yoshi in the head, the character's tongue shoots out in surprise."

"What's more," Hino continued, "there's an added 'bop' sound. However, it seemed like people would say 'Poor Yoshi,' so that's why it became that Mario is saying 'Go.'"

Mario pointing in that art is a Nintendo cover up story.
